One of the two bats is a backup catcher and the other a utility infielder. 

I actually think his is the right plan. I could see a  DH, but all of your in house options for improvement or in the minors are with the bat. Get some stabilization but very little is needed on the offensive side if you have limited overall dollars.

Let me say it this way, you have $50 mil per year over the next 5 years to spend this year. How are you spending it?

They had a 2022 payroll that’s 63 million . They currently have a payroll of 41 million. The arbitration numbers are about 20 million. That includes an estimate of $4 million for Hays. Honestly, I wouldn’t pay him that. 
 

Putting that aside, The Orioles operating revenue for 2022 according to Forbes is $251 million.

So, They should have more available than $50 million.

Knowing their operating revenue doesn’t tell you much.  You need to know what the non-payroll costs are.  However, I agree they can afford to move up more than $50 mm eventually.  They won’t necessarily do it in one gulp.

I think it’s safe to assume they could have a payroll +/- 120 million. That really doesn’t count any money that they may have put in the rebuilding for later account.

Sounds like a great answer to what you would do if you could increase payroll by $50 mil

Senga  5/75, Wacha 3/36, Correa 7/210, Benintendi 3/30, Casali  2/5 million

Trade Hays (saves 4 million), Tate (Saves 3 million), Mateo (Saves 1.5 million), Voth (2 million). 

15 + 12 + 30 + 10 + 2.5 = 67.5 million - 10.5 million = 57 million. 

****** If you are forcing me to get closer to 50 million. I’d trade Santander for prospects. And then trade a prospect or two for a controllable bat.******* I’d try to do a deal for a high OBP hitter that has a couple years of control left with 20 homer power.
