Be Your Own Nats GM

Created by James O'Hara (@nextyeardc)

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 2026 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. You're allowed to not include Keibert Ruiz, Trevor Williams and Riley Adams on your team but their $13,375,000 in salary ($14,250,000 luxury tax) have automatically been added because there's no way anyone takes them in a trade. Shinnosuke Ogasawara being outrighted adds another $2 mil/$1.75 mil. I kept 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 $19,666,667 for minor leaguers on the 40-man roster and player benefits. Be careful, Mr. Lerner just fired a GM, he doesn't want to have to fire another one so soon!
