Around Baseball 2018

Luxury tax calculations must be done because the Yankees announced that they are going to pay CC his $500k from when he was ejected.

 

I read an article that they owe 12M.

[Boxcar]

Brantley for those of you still trying to figure out who Bradley is.

 

Ugh thanks. I was confused as to why JBJ was a FA.

They were so close to getting under the number it seemed like a sure thing at one point.

I was thinking Milton

I was thinking Archie, then Milton.

Indians wish they'd given Brantley a QO?

Don't know why they didn't, most of us were surprised.

Yeah I recall

 

I bet they just wanted total control of their finances this off season. If he had accepted it they might have had to automatically shed more payroll immediately rather than try to maybe work out a longer term deal with lower AAV or trade him.

Fangraphs upgraded their search bar, you can finally look up Will Smith the Dodgers catching prospect without having to hack into the Pentagon!

Both of these are ancient bro.

They should just sign Yasmani Grandal and keep Max Stassi as a backup. I wouldn't trade Kyle Tucker for two years of J.T. Realmuto, who is going to be expensive anyways through arbitration.

No way Astros do Tucker for JTR. Miami would probably have to settle for Yordan Alvarez, or something like Cionel Perez + Seth Beer.

 

I'm surprised these teams who want a catcher aren't just pouncing on Grandal.

The playoffs really sunk his stock IMO... Or maybe just highlighted his issues..

That dude sounds like he's fishing for clicks.

Matt Harvey to the Angels on a 1-yr/$11M contract. He can also make an additional $3M in incentives.

 

I would've liked to see Atkins on Harvey for that kind of deal.

I would have gambled on the Dark Knight also.

 

Did you see the Angels tried for Corbin and Happ.. So Harvey is like sloppy thirds..

Agreed, s***, he received more than I imagined though. It's a fruitful market.

Enough money to allow him to keep dating supermodels and keep his locker well stocked with sex toys

I don't know if this does or doesn't add any pressure for the Reds to add a SP. But common Reds, do something stupid for Stroman now! Give us India!!

Glad to see FA's getting paid. It's not just the top ones either. Bryce and Machado will get their money but the mid tier ones are getting paid too. Keep it going.

Hopefully teams blow their payroll and leave us some decent scraps to choose from.

[Brownie19]

Matt Harvey signs with the Angels - 1 yr $11M

Addy Russell could be in trouble. Melissa Reidy is giving details publicly on some talk show. Thread is either been pulled or too much traffic.
