Around Baseball 2022

[glory]

 

Passan goes over the contract in a series of tweets.

[John_Havok]

Here's the details:

 

Here's a breakdown of the deal, according to Passan:

 

The length of the deal could be eight, 13, 16 or 18 years.

 

the deal will last at least eight years (including 2022) and guarantee Rodríguez $210 million, but it can max out at 18 years and $470 million

 

The guaranteed portion of the deal runs through 2029, but Seattle must either pick up or decline a club option at the end of the '28 season.

 

Rodríguez's placement in AL MVP balloting (wins and finishes) will determine whether the club option will be for eight or 10 years, and the value will be between $200 million and $350 million. The guaranteed value of the deal will be $320 million if the Mariners pick up the option.

 

If the club option is declined after 2028, Rodríguez can exercise a player option after '29 that will be worth $90 million over five years.

 

If both the club option and player option are declined, Rodríguez would become a free agent at the age of 29 in the 2029-30 offseason.

 

Also, full no trade clause.

That's a crazy bad deal for the Mariners.

lol... that needs to be revised.

[Spanky__99]

Kwan just jumped into the crowd for an amazing catch.

[Spanky__99]

The Braves pitcher Stephens just took a comebacker off the forehead... fugly.

[Spanky__99]

Judge mashed 49. Beast!

[connorp]

lol... that needs to be revised.

 

Why? It’s like a guy nailing a game time tying shot after the shot clock in basketball. Or in football when there’s an electric TD that gets called back for something that effected play, or didn’t effect the play.

 

Part of sports man. Either you have the rule, or you don’t. Pretty clear.

 

It’s a dead ball. Obviously if they play though the dead ball and it’s a HR or game tying hit, or a strikeout/out.. it’s going to be moment like that.

No it's stupid, why should the team batting get f***ed because of a pitcher's error?

[Ehjays]

I agree I think thats f***ed as well. Maybe make it like football where the team can decline the penalty if they wish.

[Spanky__99]

Oof... Mariners going to win this here, me thinks.

 

This stream is going to a coaching interview?

 

On to the 11th... I guess Seattle are going to just walk J-Ram to start the inning.

 

Sheeeeeeit... M's win.

Kyle Bradish 8ip, 2 hits and 6 Ks against the Astros in Houston. Orioles win 2-0.

 

Wtf are the Orioles

[Spanky__99]

This is cool technology and quick, we should have this as soon as next year...

 

[Pendleton]

lol... that needs to be revised.

 

Just add the ability to decline, like in football.

[Stangstag]

That seems like a perfect compromise

[Deadpool]

That seems like a perfect compromise

 

As long as there isn't some stupid limit on the number of challenges.

[Krylian]

That seems like a perfect compromise

 

Shouldn't need to compromise getting the call right.

[Ehjays]

Zimmer DFA'd again

[Solaxys]

Os up by 3 on Houston.

[Jonn]

Go O's! They are a fun team to cheer for. No business being where they are. I would love to see them do something like force a tie breaker on us or something. Game 163.

No game 163 anymore, tiebreakers are all by numbers. So Os would probably win the tiebreak due to H2H record. f*** that

[Stangstag]

Astros score 1 run off the Os in 2 games, Jays score 0 off the Angels in 2 games.

 

What the f*** is happening lol

Don’t underestimate Baltimore. They have a deadly closer and solid pitching all around. Hard throwing right handers who will dominate the Jays all righty line up (low and away). I’m expecting them to blow past Toronto in September. Remember Jays play Baltimore 10 times and my prediction is 3-7 or 4-6 record at best. Jays need a more balanced lineup which will need to wait the off season at this point.

Lol ok

[Solaxys]

Ayyy, As win.

 

Mariners look like they are going to win though.

[jaysblue]

Geez, took his new team how many days to DFA him? Shows you the Jays keep the leashes way too long on some guys.

[BigCecil]

Alcantra throwing 100 in the 9th. 2-1 complete game win over LAD. What a freak, in a good way.

Baseball. Unfortunately we have 68 wins and the Astros have banked 81. They can afford these kinds of strange outcomes. Less so for us. We need to take advantage of Rays and M losses, Especially against the Angels. Ohtani was great but Angels not exactly known for their pitching lol. We did zero against a very middle of the road pen arm for last 6 outs. Need a W today.
