Select an open position on the left and players who can fill that role will appear on the right (or below on mobile). Select a player and they'll be added to your roster along with their 2025 salary and luxury tax hit. Clicking on that spot again will remove them, or you can select a new player and they'll fill it. To keep this from being too unwieldy I assumed the CJ Abrams shenanigans are over and I made the starting outfield positionless so you can imagine your set of three anywhere you want. Asterisk (*) means that player received a Qualifying Offer.
Luxury tax number automatically includes $20,100,000 for minor leaguers on the 40-man roster and player benefits. Be careful, Mr. Lerner doesn't want to exceed the luxury tax and won't be happy if you try to!
