What's the cost/WAR these days? Like $3.5M per WAR? Good god that s*** dropped like the 2008 stock market.

 

It's about 1388 BTC / WAR

I wonder if that's still on the table? I haven't heard that it was taken off.

 

That specific deal is off, I can see him going back to the Nats but now they have the leverage and he's not going to see that deal again.

Severino signs four year deal with Yanks with a 5th year option.

 

 

Might as well try an extension for Stro at this point. It will be cheap as hell.

Angels are reportedly interested in Moustakas and the Phillies have also shown interest. He'd be a nice fit for either team and he's likely available on a short term deal worth <$10M.

 

What an amazing time to be a contending team.

Good deal for Yankees

 

A similar Stroman extension would be great, although he is two years closer to free agency than Severino is.

Good. I want ridiculous contracts to be a thing of the past. If MLB can't get a salary cap built into the CBA then at least it looks like the owners are trying to police themselves. Whether the players cry collusion I don't know...but I'm fine with Harper and Machado being made to sweat it out a bit.

 

I totally agree. Its not the players who are hyping the contracts, its the media.

Serverino must have a really bad agent cause he should be getting paid much more than this. Why would he even agree to a 2023 club option at $15MM?

The Texas Rangers have signed slap hitting, lead off man extraordinaire Ben Revere.

 

John Havok just ran the numbers and he now has the Rangers at 95 wins and 5-1 odds to make the World Series!

Where'd that come from, is what I mean? Havok wouldn't say that.

 

Havok was the guy most adamantly against Revere's worth and my arch nemeses in the Billy McKinney thread. He is the most unlikely guy/least likely guy (as in never) to put that, hence it is sarcasm.. It wouldn't work as well if I put just any old poster..

Moustakas back to Milwaukee. 1/9 seems to be the terms.

 

 

1/10. Really not a bad deal for him.

not bad for him as in he should be happy?

This really goes to show you the market value for a WAR. Guys been a 2+ WAR player basically any time he is healthy, is only 31 this season and only get $10M. I really thought the $/WAR would pretty much continually go up. Guess I was wrong.

That's why there will be a strike. It's going to suck balls man.

I guess I mean not bad in the context of the current climate. Nobody is commiting longterm to league-average corner bats in their 30s because at the first sign of decline, anywhere in their game, they’re no longer full-time players. Guys like Moose will have to maintain their skills into their 30s and earn their living a year at a time. If Moose maintains his skills, he makes his 40-50M from 2019 to 2022.

I could see a $10M yearly average on a longer deal with the above considered. When you anticipate he could fall of the cliff later in the deal. Guy projects for 2.7 WAR next year which seems totally reasonable, and he seems way underpaid.
