Kirilloff is probably not worth it at any price, I’m assuming Twins don’t offer & Kirilloff takes a minor league deal elsewhere. Shame health tanked his career.
Topa will be another interesting call. He was an interesting piece in the Polanco trade and just never got going health-wise. If he’s able to have a normal off-season I could see him coming back as part of the mid inning mix.
The list:
Willi Castro (5.017): $6.2MM
Diego Castillo (5.001): $1MM
Jorge Alcala (4.165): $1.7MM
Ryan Jeffers (4.089): $4.7MM
Michael Tonkin (4.074): $1.5MM
Justin Topa (4.044): $1.3MM
Alex Kirilloff (3.141): $1.8MM
Bailey Ober (3.093): $4.3MM
Brock Stewart (3.093): $800K
Griffin Jax (3.091): $2.6MM
Joe Ryan (3.033): $3.8MM
Trevor Larnach (3.009): $2.1MM
Jhoan Duran (3.000): $3.7MM
Royce Lewis (2.142): $2.3MM
For those wondering when Joe Pohlad said payroll won’t go down, he meant just paying arbitration money. The larger chunks of Pablos contract are kicking in this coming year so we will be gaining salary no matter what. Don’t get me wrong I want this team to win and will watch every game. But I have a feeling this will be the same group minus Farmer Santana and the likes. Though, I could see them resigning Santana if Royce is adamant about staying at 3rd rather than moving to 2nd. Which leaves the door for Julien to take the 2nd base role. Ideally.
How does Tonkin only have 4 years of service time?
Won’t it be great to watch them let an all-star utility guy walk because he might cost 6mil
Quick math that’s around $38 million. Plus $93 million in guaranteed contracts puts us at $131 million. Leaving us around -$1 million left for free agents! This offseason is going to rule! /s
Bold prediction: Ryan Jeffers will be traded this offseason, and Vazquez will be the #1 guy behind the plate going forward.

They’re usually pretty close on these, definitely close enough to use for roster projections at this point.
That said, I think the Alcala projection is wrong. He has a 1.5M player option. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/player/_/id/32837/jorge-alcala#:~:text=Jorge%20Alcala%20contract%20and%20salary%20cap%20details,%20full%20contract%20breakdowns,
