Yeah. The cat isn’t going back in the bag in terms of bad long-term deals for old free agents, but the other side of the coin has to be more compensation for arb and pre-arb players.

Some Khris Davis quotes:
MLB's economic system isn't working when players coming off the best year of their career are going into their last year of arb talking about the paycut they expect to take in free agency.
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.
Richard, Shoemaker, Morales, Pillar, Stro, Sanchez, Tepera, Galvis, Smoak, Travis, Grichuk, and Phelps are all multi-year vets at or approaching 30 years old. All of them will be on the team. Stro is a blowhard.
So to summarize Stroman's thoughts:
- he's upset that the team hasn't offered him a long-term contract, even though he's two years from FA, just missed half the season with shoulder and blister issues, and pitched to a 5.5 ERA when he was on the mound
- he seems to think that he provides value by 'embodying the city of Toronto' in ways that other players just can't do
- he's concerned about the lack of vetrin presents on a team that's finally getting younger after consecutive years of crusty veterans losing 85+ games
- he thinks replacement-level player and noted ******** Carlos Gomez would be a solid addition
Stroman needs to be a lot less eager to share his thoughts.
I'm sorry, but being that fat as a professional ball player at 19 is unacceptable. He'd clearly be a better player if he dropped 40 pounds. Dude's gonna be a f***ing whale by 30.

Littlemon OTC. If she doesn't pick today, EZe can make the next pick for Division 4.
