Can't believe d'arnaud is almost 36 Makes me feel old

Raps lost their pick this year so have it for 2025 right?

Damn, Willy Adames is going to get PAID. Mets might spend a billion dollars this winter

I think just BTS and it has always been ironic

The Cardinals are really a dogshit organization. It's been obvious for years and years yet they kept kind of winning in spite of themselves. The weak division helped, but they probably also had a few really good old school scouts or decision makers keeping the org afloat. But it's over. The Willson Contreras situation is embarrassing. They sign him and immediately dislike the player. Now they are moving him to 1B full time with three years left on his contract. Their pitching development and strategy has been atrocious. If they do trade Sonny Gray, that is going to be so ugly.

RE Pivetta I wonder how much his career has been tarnished by bad ball parks

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2024)
Laika replied to Ryu In My House's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
The jobs a year ago were all entry level positions, it was right in the ad. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/job-posting-toronto-blue-jays-multiple-entry-level-opportunities/ All of these new postings seem to be senior or mid-level. -
Nicky Martinez out-WARd Michael Wacha who just extended for 3/$51 But NM likely just takes the QO still

wait a minute Jeff Passan @JeffPassan Right-hander Gerrit Cole is remaining with the New York Yankees on the four-year, $144 million deal that he had opted out of, sources told ESPN. Discussions on a potential contract extension will continue. Essentially, it’s the same as if Cole did not opt out.
-
Idiots.
-
Maybe the likeliest outcome is the Yankees and Cole just figure out a new term entirely He opted out of 4/$144 Yankees have the option of doing 5/$180 Maybe they go to him and say "hey we will give you the $180 but we want to do it over 7 years" Might not make much difference to Cole. Odds are he is cooked or just a problematic injury prone dude at 39 anyway.
-
Gerrit Cole is stupid but the Yankees just might be stupider
-
Yes probably And that is the most annoying thing of this new trend. Juan Soto is going to want a "$60M AAV" even if the present value is $40M. In 5 years it will be out of hand. Cavan Biggio will sign for the major league minimum but defer it for 20 years so that the MLBTR headline is "Rays sign Craig Biggio's son to one year, $1.08M deal"
-
Already has enough money When you are a DEMONSTRATED financial moron already, it makes sense to just willingly lock up money on yourself even if the return is not ideal.
-
the only actual advantage the Dodgers have is that they are owned by a hedge fund so the owner in fact has $45M or whatever to set aside each year, which will grow into $70M because math
-
Mostly agree with BTS. You can just find new prospects so don't get attached to Jobe, Lowder, Schultz. Berrios is an obvious cut here.
-
Why is it so hard for you guys to understand that a $70M liability 10 years from now is not actually a $70M liability? Just look up what a 10 year treasury bond or 10 year GIC pays in annual interest. Throw that into a compound interest calculator for 10 years on say $45M. Then share your work!

It is amazing how many people don't get this The whole thing is more or less a financial literacy test

like I could understand a little bit of interaction in the heat of the moment but those fans were unhinged -
