    The KK signing is the Toronto front office saying that: 1. a run is a run, a win is a win 2. they don't believe Varsho is somehow elite in CF but not uber-elite in LF, and that was just 2023 statistical noise 3. the market is not valuing defense properly so they will go ahead and buy defense even if everyone thinks they need offense 4. they think enough offense will come from incumbent regression 5. they can still add thump in other spots 6. depth = flexibility = roster flexibility = trade flexibility

    The post is... A post-modern commentary on front offices being "too clever by half" and the translation errors that causes between them and fans. The post is not really about the moves. Don't read too much into the substantive commentary on the moves. Not the point of the screed.

    IMO it is weird people were even expecting them to sign similar deals. Soler has had one great year, one okay year (2023) and then a bunch of useless seasons. He had to hit 36 homers to be a league average player in 2023 because everything else is so bad. Teoscar has 70% more career WAR in 60 less games. Since he became established, he has never been bad. His "disappointing" 2023 was as valuable as Soler's "strong" platform 2023. If nobody was offering Hernandez a good enough long-term deal for him to even consider, then Soler's market might be ugly. I am looking forward to him signing an incentive laden 1 year deal with Toronto. Maybe a cute little 2 year deal with little risk. Some team options for fun. Now, Hernandez is simply so much better that he can reasonably try to have an elite 2024 and then get a Castellanos contract. Soler would be a fool to do that and should take the most guaranteed money he is offered.

    It's amazing for HR. Lots don't realize this but it's like top 3. Close to neutral overall but fantastic for Hernandez. Statcast 3 year rolling park factors for right handed homers.... tied #1 with GAB

    If you have an issue with the Dodgers deferring payments... ... It really has nothing to do with the luxury tax. The issue is more like, preferential systems for certain owners. They are owned by a hedge fund. No other team can really do this at this scale. There is something going on with how the dodgers are selling these deferred payments to these players ..

    They are being taxed appropriately $1M that you have to wait 6 years to get is simply not worth $1M today. Kind of common sense, bro

    Guessing he had some 3 year offers but chose to bet on himself He's young enough that one big year could = massive contract And he picked the best team possible. Good hitters park, he could win the world series and have 140 RBI haha

    Joc is much worse than Teo so hopefully this sets the market for Pederson signing here for like 1/$12 or 2/$20
  11. Laika
    How exactly are they dodging the luxury tax here, max?

    Amazing deal for LA. The pillow deal people wanted him to sign here. Dodgers To Sign Teoscar Hernandez January 7th, 2024 at 8:47pm CST • By Mark Polishuk The Dodgers have agreed to a one-year, $23.5MM deal with outfielder Teoscar Hernandez, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan (X links). Only $15MM of that salary will be paid to Hernandez this year, as the rest is deferred and will be paid out in installments from 2030-39. Reporter Moises Fabian (via X) was first with the news that Hernandez had signed with Los Angeles. Hernandez is represented by Republik Sports.

    The "database error" has been happening intermittently for months There is also a double posting glitch that happens from time to time
  14. Laika
    That's what they want but they won't get it My guess for Chapman is 4/$80m. He'd be lucky to get $100m Bellinger, maybe he does get $150m
  15. Laika
    But will cost maybe twice as much

    Before the season people thought the outfield changes might increase offense because fences were coming in Shapiro was on record saying they weren't sure how it would play since fences were going up, down, in, out, all over. Keep in mind that the infield changes this off-season will significantly decrease the space in foul territory. That might increase offense significantly

    Well... duh! Brantley and Biggio probably do have very similar eyes, though. Biggio just has the higher walk rate because he has to be patient or else he sucks. Brantley was such a good hitter he didn't have to do that.
  18. Laika
    Biggio is a 40 on a good day Brantley is an easy 70. Might be more
  19. Laika
    Well, they're not gonna give him away. He's worth an Addison Barger type prospect Might see them move Kyle Farmer for peanuts instead

    Check your 1994 census You might be this kids grandpa!

    Sounds like the mom was a hooker And mom trafficked the minor And Franco came along and knew exactly what he was doing from the start. Knew it was wrong, admitted same in writing, even had mom sign an NDA or something. And this is just one of the complaints...

    Get ownership from ju1ced I guess And then upgrade the servers or whatever. And remove ads. Not sure if he would transfer ownership/control but I don't think he makes money on the thing so maybe he would.

    loving the IKF signing more and more each day wow, what a spectacular defender

    Michael Brantley's choices were retire or play for Toronto. He chose to retire. Says a lot about ROSS if we are being honest.
