    What BTS said. And it's decidedly not like toddler punching, lol. Worst case scenario for the person is they have to delete Twitter or make a new handle. Big whoop. Personally if I negged a famous person and got dog piled by their followers I would find it hilarious and wear the event as a badge of honour

    Charged with what? Sorry but this stupid opinion makes you worse than them

    It's *verifiably* insane. These people have deeper mental problems than Trevor Bauer. Group level psychosis. And I don't even like Bauer... but he's not a BAD person and he's great at the baseball.
  4. Laika
    Lmao They treat Bauer like a domestic abuser when his one transgression is that he tweeted at a young woman who came at him on Twitter first

    I think if HE tested positive they'd like cancel the game because everyone would be unclean. More likely someone he was in contact with tested positive...

    Well this is f***ing stupid

    It's not insane... Just think of year 3 as an insurance policy for Bauer. The contract is 2/$85 with an opt out and a $20 insurance policy on his career

    Insanely good deal. AA strikes again. It's like he blackmails some of these players. I know this one specifically is likely just Covid depressed but still...

    I know this is stupid reasoning, but Bauer's cute little video has three jerseys/logos in it: Mets, Jays, Dodgers. Safe to assume the Mets and Dodgers were very close. I don't know why the Jays would be in there if they weren't competitive. Maybe Bauer's ego made him want to make it look like three teams were chasing him to the end, but I think it's more likely that Toronto just was kind of close here.

    Where do the Mets even go from here? They'll end up signing like, Jackie Bradley Jr., Trevor Rosenthal, and Jake Odorizzi to three year deals.
  11. Laika
    So the douche probably would have topped $50M on a true one year deal.

    2/$85 is bonkers. He'll be the most hated athlete in sports if he sucks.
  13. Laika
    This guy sucks

    Thank you for your years of honest service.

    He's destined to be a Met. They need him more - their rotation depth is very weak. Carrasco and Stroman are paper, Syndergaard will be rehabbing for half the year, and nobody should expect Peterson or Lucchesi to be anything more than SP5 types in 2021. After DeGrom and those names, their minor league depth is dogshit. It's actually kind of insane that they traded Matz - it's like they are operating under the assumption that they don't need more than 5 or 6 SP. They need Bauer to devour like 230 innings.

    Imagine if: Everyone stays healthy, Kirk takes over C, Vladdy breaks out, Tellez doesn't regress much, and Hernandez doesn't regress much... Springer .360 wOBA Bo .360 wOBA Teoscar .350 wOBA Vlad .360 wOBA Tellez .350 wOBA Gurriel .350 wOBA Semien .330 wOBA Kirk .330 wOBA Biggio .335 wOBA Look at that 7-8-9, lmao
  17. Laika
    Both, probably?
  18. Laika
    That's the perfect comparison. Ozuna is also more athletic than Martinez, FWIW. Bad defensive reputation (even if UZR doesn't peg Ozuna as awful most years) but look at how much better Ozuna's BsR is.

    Teams have no right to buyout a contract, aside from buyouts that are part of option years. If they release a player they still owe them the full amount of money. However, players and teams are technically allowed to amend their contracts and agree on lower buyouts. The union strongly frowns upon it though and perhaps frowns upon it to the point that they basically don't "allow" players to take a reduced buyout of a guaranteed contract. You almost never see it happen, of course. In 2014 the Orioled signed some Korean to a three year MLB deal. He sucked so bad in AAA in 2014 that they didn't invite him to camp in 2015, and then the player agreed to give up his guaranteed money in exchange for a release so he could go home.

    Yes. There has been some longform journalism on this. It seems like Davis is determined to play out the contract and collect his dough. The union was at some point probably leaning on him pretty heavily to keep playing. I imagine the relationship between David and the O's is completely broken at this point. I wonder if he would even quit if they offered him like, 95 cents on the dollar.
  22. Laika
    O's are hoping he finds baseball so embarrassing at some point that he retires and gives up the money.
  23. Laika
    Good for Chase. He had a near career year in 2020* *by xFIP
  24. Laika
    You're too old to make memes, Jim.

    I think there is a much higher chance that Doolittle is completely cooked. I mean they both might be done, but in Yates' puny 2020 sample he had his normal velocity and he missed bats.
