Thats not bad.
I would think Ottavino and Britton would be cheaper but I also suck with estimations on the reliever market... I would like one of those guys but still want Minter closing unless he struggles
Also agree that Soroka is the best of the bunch and I'd probably put Gohara slightly behind him. Touki presents a ton of upside, mainly because I think he's the most unrefined of that group and still is scratching the surface. I think that Newk and Fried are who they are at this point of their careers, Newk especially.
I don't really understand why we would go after Grey unless we truly believe that he's a TOR starter in a bad situation. Frankly, guys that size scare me as they get older and he's now 29. Granted, his FB velo has maintained up to this point, but it's scary nonetheless.

I don’t trust Viz or Minter to be healthy all season. I think that’s why we need to find a reliable late inning arm. I don’t really care who closes.

Only guy I could see being taken is Didder and that would be a long shot. Great athlete that is still learning how to apply his tools, but as Fangraphs pointed out, he is versatile and is at least an average defender at SS and 2B and is plus/plus in CF and RF. I could see a rebuilding team keeping him around as a 25th guy. If he ever learns to hit consistently, he could be somebody.
I'm pretty certain Didder will not get picked. Graham will though
I think 10m is probably more than the Braves will be spending on reliever acquisitions combined and I don't see them making a three year commitment to any of them.
I think something more like one year, possibly two year deals at 5-6m range.
