At this point, I'm just debating going 100% fictional.
I agree with WW here - for pure value that is actually pretty good.

Per Baseball America-

RHP Gavin Williams 65 FV
SS/2B Brayan Rocchi 55 FV
IF Freeman 45 FV

That’s basically 2 top 50 prospects, plus a good contact hitting IF for a season of Ohtani.

In fact, even absent of any salary exchanging hands, Baseballtradevalues.com has this as an actual overpay by Cleveland in terms of surplus value.
