[USML Announce] Lubeasts preliminary retention roster

[Jeffrey Winick]

Happy Spring Training and, more importantly, Happy Birthday to old man Kerber.  I say we all chip in and buy him a walker.  😉

Here is the roster for the 2024 edition of the Berliners.  It is essentially the mirror image of Frank’s roster (all hitting and no pitching rather than vice-versa):

Josh Naylor, 1B, Cle, $10 FA
Anthony Volpe, SS, NYY, $10 Y2
Bobby Witt, MI, KC, $25, FA26
Julio Rodriguez, OF, Sea, $20, FA26
Josh Jung, 3B, Tex, $10, Y2
Clay Holmes, CL, NYY, $5, FA

Beans
Brooks Lee, SS, Min, $5
Jackson Holliday, SS, Bal, $10
Marcelo Mayer, SS, Bos, $5
Coby Mayo, 3B, Bal, $5
Max Clark, OF, Det, $5
Evan Carter, OF, Tex, $10

Note that I will be cutting Wander Franco and will eat his $20 contract.  Turns out it doesn’t as bad as you’d think when consumed with a side of beans.  If anyone is looking to the future, he’s now being offered in a combo pack with World Series hero Evan Carter.

Hi everyone,

Happy Spring Training!

Someone needs to get this party started, so here is the preliminary retention roster for the Lubeasts in 2024:

Keepers:

Luis Castillo, P, SEA Y2         $29
George Kirby, P, SEA  LT25 $10
Tarik Skubal, P, DET,               Y2         $5
Tanner Bibee, P, CLE Y2               $10
Alek Manoah, P, TOR FA              $10
Dean Kremer, P, BAL Y2              $1
Pete Fairbanks, P, TB              FA         $5
Triston Casas, 1B, BOS              Y2         $2
Luis Robert, OF, CWS              FA         $15

Beans:

Ceddanne Rafaela, BOS              $10
Heston Kjerstad, BAL                            $5
Justin Fescue, TEX                                  $2

That will leave the Beasts with $173 for 14 players on draft day.

Over to you all.

- Frank
