Acuna Jr should call have called Soto and asked for negotiating tips.

 

Boras probably uses Acuna for advertising

I'm confused why he said that nonsense. Looking at his stats they were very underwhelming for his age and placement.

Yes everyone is pissed the Red Sox released the dumb ass racist who was hitting .250 in AA

There couldn't be a more appropriate organisation to sign and develop a person like that. It's right in line with their entire history.

What happened in Miami with Jeter?

When in the f*** was Josh Towers ever worth $100M? Have to assume this was after 2005. Man - what a mistake.

[L54]

Yikes, how does Josh Towers turn down 100M almost 20 years ago? I can hardly believe that

Burnette was 5 60 I believe and Halladay got a similar contract after 2005. So no. Josh Towers did not get a 100 million offer.

 

OK. I just looked it up. Burnette was 5/55. Halladay signed a 4/40 after 2003, then a 3/40 extension onto that in March 2006.

 

There is zero chance Towers got offered more than like 2 / 10 million. OK Maybe an outside chance they offerred him 3/21 or something but even that seems extreme if AJ was only worth 11 a year, and Roy like 12

What happened in Miami with Jeter?

 

Something certainly went array...

“Today I am announcing that the Miami Marlins and I are officially ending our relationship and I will no longer serve as CEO nor as a shareholder in the Club. We had a vision five years ago to turn the Marlins franchise around, and as CEO, I have been proud to put my name and reputation on the line to make our plan a reality. Through hard work, trust and accountability, we transformed every aspect of the franchise, reshaping the workforce, and developing a long-term strategic plan for success.

 

That said, the vision for the future of the franchise is different than the one I signed up to lead. Now is the right time for me to step aside as a new season begins.

 

My family and I would like to thank our incredible staff, Marlins fans, Marlins players and the greater Miami community for welcoming us with open arms and making us feel at home. The organization is stronger today than it was five years ago, and I am thankful and grateful to have been a part of this team.”

Sounds like Jeter was pissed off that the payroll wasn't going to be there to actually compete.

Yeah, that's how I see it. They have a pipeline of pitching, that needs offensive help.

I clicked to see the comments, there were only 2, but they were as expected

[connorp]

The “you must’ve added an extra 0” was the low hanging fruit

His only followers?

 

Who's he kidding, lol.

[Dick_Pole]

A likely fake account put up an obvious troll post and you guys for real believe he was offered 7 years $100 million? Has the whole world not yet learned what the internet is yet?

 

I'm going to break the post down for you. Fake Josh (or real Josh, actually doesn't matter) is calling Soto a f***ing idiot for not taking the deal.

[L54]

I got trolled

Very possible and you're likely right about the troll... but nobody believes it, Dick?

You're probably right, but I mean, who the f*** has this amount of time in their lives to make up fake accounts to troll Soto?
