Diamondbacks sign Zack Greinke to record AAV

[Laika]

Steamer projection for the top 12 (Tiny Tim, Alvarez and Hoffman are all 0.0) of these pitchers (counting Synder) is 10.4. Jays current entire staff 12.6.

 

shut up

[Stangstag]

Uhh..

 

Syndergaard = Cy Contender

Stroman = 1/2

Osuna = Closer

Sanchez = Setup man

DeSclafani = midrotation starter

Boyd/Norris = jury still out

 

Seems reasonable to me.

 

He was referring to the system at the start of 2015. Stroman/Norris/Sanchez/Castro/Osuna/Hoffman...

 

s***, now that I'm typing all of these names i'm kind of mad that we no longer have half of them.

 

The playoffs WERE pretty sweet though.

Doesn't it depend on where your official residence is for the majority of the year? I don't know about Grienke but most of these guys live in Florida or Arizona in which case it would make no difference.

 

I've always gotten the impression that taxes are something sports writers care more about than the players and agents, its almost never a deciding factor or even something they think about that much.

 

I read an article last night that suggested that the tax savings would be ~20 million over the 6 years.

I read an article a few months ago that looked at that aspect for NHL players. It said about third of the players didn't want to sign with Canadian teams because of the taxes. I'm sure it's same with baseball players too.

This story addresses the myth that you pay a crazy more amount of income tax in Canada versus the US.

 

There are certain States where there is a definite income tax saving advantage. There are also different tax rates in each province. It most definitely is not like it used to be though. Arizona is notably one of the lowest, along with Florida, I believe.

All I can picture is Grienke bustin' a move to this song in his living room with a pair of track pants off...acting all gangsta

Florida has no income tax.
