metafour Verified Member Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 He just released the following article, listing us in his top group of teams (along with the Cubs and Phillies) that he feels most confident will spend over their pool. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-international-bonus-pools-dont-matter/ Its looking like that Vlad Guerrero Jr. speculation may be accurate.

Would be nice if the luxury tax was 5 percent as strict as this
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 Maybe this is where some of that money that we thought we had is going?

The penalties have been increased since then. The max penalty now inhibits you from signing a player for more than $250k for the next two signing periods.

Atothe Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 WTF does 'almost definitely' mean 85-90% sure
Deadpool Old-Timey Member Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 If they're going over, they'd better go WAY over.. like, if they're going 15% over, they might as well go 150% over.
