Merch sales are revenue shared between teams so that doesn’t count.
TV deals yes but Idk I think we just haven’t seen enough of these long deals blow up yet that teams are shying away. Off the top of my head there’s Pujols/Miggy/Fielder… Arod was fine until the last couple years.
I guess this means the Mets will sign Rodon? Dark horse candidate being the Orioles.
Have to think this insane spending stops sometime though. Teams like the Yanks/Mets/Phills etc can’t continue adding guys at 25+ million per every offseason
Its Steve Cohen, do you really think he was bluffing?
Just stick him at third base
Padres already have a SS and a 3B locked up long-term and they still went and got Bogey
Oddly this seems like a better deal than the Bogaerts and Turner contracts even though they’re shorter??
Correa seems like a guy that could still be a decent DH near his 40s
Not every team has more than 2 capable shortstops though so I’m not sure what your point is
EDIT: went back and read your original post, doesn’t seem like you’re saying it as a criticism. My bad??
