I thought we were just over the cap? Wouldn't it be a 2nd, 5th and $1 million international money?

Never mind, I guess our sell off got us just under.

I'm starting to talk myself into Pivetta if you can get him for 3 years and 60-66 mil. 

That contract will look like a steal compared to Fried (220M), Manaea (75M), Eovaldi (75M), Severino (67M), etc.

Also, compare it to the 15M-20M short term AAVs that backend guys like Boyd, Montas, Cobb and Nick Martinez are getting and it also makes a lot of sense.

Ross can't draft and develop anyway so screw the 2nd rounder it's not going to pan out anyway.

All the more reason to go get him

Is anyone going to make a 2025 thread?

Of course he did.  All good though - I can still see it.  Thanks.

Interesting if this is true... I assume Elias thinks the current market is nuts so dumb to get involved. And it is nuts but the only thing that will ever stop it is a financial crisis.

 

Today's nutty contract are tomorrow's good deals because everything just keeps going up. Nothing will ever stop it and you are damn fool Elias for not buying, buying buying right now while the prices are cheap.

 

NVIDIA stock price is 137 and will be 1500 in 3 years.

Bitcoin is 100,000 and will be 800,000 in 4 years

Canadian average house price is 850,000 and will be 2.65 million in 4 years

Top MLB contract is 760 million, or 50 million a year and will by 1.8 billion, 90 million a year in 3 years

 

If Elias thinks that any price can every go down, that any even minor recession can happen he is no genius... Elias is dumb, the smart people are grabbing everything they can before it goes up even more. I am sorry for claiming he was genius. Just another fool who thinks he can call the market. Prices go up. Only up. THere is no down.

 

In Olerud's defense, he came to his senses during the off-season.  Hopefully we see that guy around here again.
