Nah, the rumour according to Morisi, is they're trying to move Andrus. Yet, in this circumstance Profar or Odor make sense.

So Stanton now has zero monetary gain from performing well in his career. It's all on how badly he wants to win. Other than that he can pretty much pack it in and enjoy a multi multi millionaire life in Florida

It's a scary thing.

 

Very few players do not decline after signing massive contracts.

 

I don't know why any GM would do this and I respect that our organization refuses to.

Vizcaino was a former Brave haha

 

Orginally a Yankee who went to Atlanta with Melky Cabrera for Javy Vazquez and Boone Logan, that worked out well lol

Giancarlo Stanton partied with a $20,000 bottle of champagne after signing $325 mm contract.

Looks like he spent large on that orthodontist too. Got that s*** right straight. I hope he gets another one in the lips.

The price of relief has skyrocketed and with KC,s success may go higher. miller is looking for a 4 year deal and I will not be surprised if he gets 4/36

Are teams (Boston) over-valuing Sandoval? How good is his glove? His bat is not that great for a 3B.

 

I think they know what they are doing, playoffs 10 times in the last 20 years. Guess what team hasn't done that?

Stanton was reportedly so motivated to give the Marlins money to spend on other players over the next few years that he agreed to heavily backload the contract, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.

 

Stanton will make a combined $30 million ($6.5 million in 2015, $9 million in 2016 and $14.5 million in 2017) over the first three seasons, according to Stark's major-league sources.

 

Under the current structure, Stanton would earn $107 million over the first six seasons before he is eligible to opt out. Should Stanton remain in Miami, the Marlins will be on the hook for the other seven years and $218 million - an average of $31.14 million.

 

Lol at the Marlins. http://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/634053

 

Edit: not really sure why Stanton would ever opt out of this. Have a hard time he would get more than 218 million at that age.

Well... The Yankees will probably still exist in 7 years...

Yeah but if you look at how much smarter front offices have gotten in the last 7 years then you would think in 7 years time even the big spenders will know that he will be well into the decline stage of his career and there is no point in paying him over 200 million for what he once was.

 

Pujols and Cabrera will be hard lessons as to why not to pay big money for players in the decline stage of their careers.

This is the least A's signing I've ever seen. Reminds me of Friedman last year with Loney and Balfour.

 

Jim Johnson was pretty weird too.
