Considering you had 98 wins in Season 1, and just added $20M+ to your $147M roster, I think your wish for a 100+ win season is guaranteed. A title? I like your chances for the Season 2 ring. But as you found out in Season 1, RV isn't a guarantee of success.
blsmith7 had a team with the highest RV I've seen. $182.77M.
Alas. 5 games.
I almost typed out 110 wins. And yeah, usually that means a 5 game semifinals loss.
His team, as expected, had a lot of wasted salaries. Few players over 400 ABs. 8 million player with 240. When you get up so high, it is hard not to have that, though. I will still probably lose in the semis, but I don't anticipate having that much unused (unless I get some bad injury rolls with Ohtani, Judge and Altuve) in salary. Though Judge will be my CF, which could hurt on defense.
And going forward next season a lineup with Henderson, Judge and Ohtani should be good for a while. (and Acuna when he comes back in 2025). Next season's pitching will be suspect, which is why I tried to trade a 2027 pick instead.
That said, I would like to trade a few players.
Here is what is available
Keaton Winn, SP, $3.99
Alex Cobb, SP, $3.08
Eugenio Suarez, 3B, $4.45
Mark Canha, UTIL, $4.12
Miguel Amaya, C,$1.67
Alex Kirilloff, UTIL, $2.10
Mike Tauchman, OF, $2.85
Obviosuly, I would like some low end 2025 picks or fringe prospects in return. Nothing too high though. Just something. Even some swaps (5th for 7th and the guy) would be solid for some of these guys. Maybe a suppelmental pick lol
