  1. You most definitely CAN enter the season with both on their last year. Might actually be better that way. If you extend either, you 100% are not trading them at the deadline. Best course of action if Vlad won’t sign a semi-discounted deal is to just let things play out. Trade both guys at the deadline if the team is out of it. If the team looks good in July, then go for it. Can still negotiate with Vlad in free agency and sign him back. And if someone else wants to give him 400 million, you let him walk.
  2. Wouldn’t Sasaki be part of the draft in any fantasy leagues??
  3. We’re really probably better off walking away. We’ve seen the bat disappear before.
  4. Its just Great for baseball
  5. The Dodgers get another ace, nice!
  6. Absolute robbery
  7. Lol if dude was a GM he’d be signing Santander to a 200 million dollar deal
  8. Kinda gives us an idea of the market for guys like Adames/Bregman
  9. Nootbar + Arenado package deal would make me fell a lot better about the lineup and shouldn’t cost too much (prospect-wise)
  10. I really can't see Vlad being traded before the season starts, but I could believe the contract rumor.
  11. Fair enough, but I will maintain that having an elite offense with bad D is a much more enjoyable product than crap O with elite D. The Yankees had neither. 2 elite guys in Judge and Soto sure, but a bunch of wildcards for the other 7. And I think the Jays definitely still have a "fundamentals" issue similar to the Yanks with bad base-running choices and defensive brainfarts. Also fairly weak D at a very important position (SS)
  12. Joe Kelly firing some nasty shots at the Yankees lol
  13. Would be a nice guy to sign, he can cover 3B/2B for 2025 and then take over as SS when Bo leaves. This FO loves positional versatility so I could see it.
  14. The way it works is the Yankees can now enforce an option for a 5th year to make the contract 5/180. DeGrom signed for 5/185 so 5/180 is reasonable
  15. I’ll do my best. Already made a few trades, felt I had a wealth of starting pitching and wanted to start looking to the future. Definitely need to do more about the bullpen, Saves/Holds are lacking. Excited for the draft to see who I can nab with #10
  16. It would be more correct to say the Ohtani contract looks more like 20/700
  17. Yes it does. its not an opinion but a fact. Ohtani signed for 10/700. The luxury tax hit on that contract should be 70 million per year. Because of the deferrals, the luxury hit is closer to 46 million. That means the Dodgers can spend more money on yearly team payroll without worrying about the harsh penalties as much compared to if they were accounting for 70 million per season in luxury hit. And you can quote present day value and whatever to say that the contract is actually 10/460, but its not. Because the Dodgers will be paying a total of 700 million dollars to Ohtani when all is said and done.
  18. I guess if you look at it that way
  19. I've been hurt too many times. Its draining. - The 14 inning loss to the Rangers - 14-5 beatdown by the Royals - Both Seattle games
  20. He'd probably threaten to drop the his client. Dude is an egomaniac lol
  21. The Ohtani deferrals are absolutely egregious and I doubt we will see another guy be willing to defer that much ever again. Also another good point from David Samson (if you watch that podcast) is that for deferrals, the agent doesn’t get their % until the money is actually paid out. Soto’s agent is Boras… Boras ain’t waiting on deferred commission.
  22. “In my nine professional seasons, I’ve encountered numerous injuries, which led me to search for new ways to overcome the pain. These challenges have taken a toll on me mentally and physically; over time, I’ve realized that my passion for playing the game has shifted,” Kirilloff said in his announcement. “Baseball demands an ‘all-in’ approach, something I’ve brought to every season. However, I can no longer give it the total commitment it requires. I’ve always believed that playing this game requires 110% effort, and anything less would not do justice to my teammates, coaches, fans, or the game itself.” Wow, interesting. Feel bad for the dude. Makes me wonder just how bad the pain is for some of these guys (Lindor, Correa, Stanton, etc.)
  23. Lolwut??
