Agreed, Klein and Beasley are top candidates. Not that I think we want to get rid of them, but we will not have that many other options.
The way I see it right now we have 36 players under contract for 2022 and have only 20M cap space minus whatever T. Johnson's cap hit will be. Let's say its 6M so we only have 14M cap space.
Good thing is that all off the guys we have now and would possibly like to keep (like Boettger, Bates, McKenzie, Obada, Zimmer, Dodson, Neal or Jones) can probably be had either minimum or up to 2M, maybe except Mitch and Levi. But even if we sign all 17 required players for 800k - 2M it will cost us roughly 22-23M. So just to fill roster with cheap talent we miss 8-9M which means either some big restructure or cutting expensive vets. Top candidates are obviously Klein (5,2M savings), Beasley (6,1M) and maybe Feliciano (3,7M). Morse saves 7,5M which is a lot but also leaves 3,7M dead cap and I don't think we are cutting him. Star is also an option, but it seems unlikely now and he also has a lot of dead cap.
So it will be really interesting what we will do since its very unlikely that we will only sign really cheap players. But given our cap situation if we want to sign any mid-tier player for 7-8M cap hit we will need to do some cutting or cap maneuvering.
And also no huge Knox extension factored into
It will be really interesting how we will deal with this if all young guys keep progressing. Keeping Edmunds, Oliver and Knox at the same time could be really tough then. Thank God that Ford didn't pan out
