I don’t think this is ever a worst contract in baseball deal. I think that’s too extreme of a label
Look at Soto. Basically identical projections to Vlad ROS for 15M more per season. Not saying that’s the worst contract either but if it’s not Soto then it really can’t be Vlad
The Gimenez contract is fairly gross. Santander is low enough AAV but it’s 4 more years. Kirk is pretty much FA money. But that’s a lot of dough to guys who could all be pretty meh
Giving Bo a monster deal feels like a kid who gets a s*** ton of birthday money, spends it on the first couple shiny things he sees and then regret sets in when there’s no more cash and the toys get older
We’ve gone from send Vlad to Indy Ball and Bo Bichette is Tim Anderson to give them 3/4 of a billion really quickly
Good thing nobody here is making those decisions
I haven’t watched a Gausman start but have been hearing lots about him without the split. Meaning I guess no whiffs
He literally built himself on it and now it’s gone. Weird
The White Sox suck but at least they do some things right
The A’s will no longer be a doormat
Marlins kinda do pitching and speed
Washington looks okay
The Rockies are a joke and owe Bryant 27M/year through 2028
Ya because they have a bunch of 2 WAR guys making 20M. Obviously that’s not ideal but that doesn’t mean that money can’t be redistributed when it’s available and the goal would be to sign better contracts!
They can afford it and if they wanna play ball with the big boys and spend like a power house then Vlad’s contract isn’t going to be prohibitive unless he turns into Chris Davis
The bat in the video you are disputing literally says Torpedo on it. Dont be so obtuse
Nobody is arguing that they’re new to the league but the concept is not brand new
