Front Office Strategy and Roster Development

Boston exercised 2027–28 options for Baylor Scheierman and Hugo González before the Oct. 31 deadline, reportedly securing $5 million and $3 million; González scored 13 against Chicago. A cap reference lists a $198.7 million 2026–27 roster cap hit, $1.7 million below the tax line, and a projected $8.7 million tax bill in 2027–28, though its projections lack explanation. Trey Murphy III asking-price reports and fan-made proposals do not confirm Celtics interest.
