It’s a really good signing
But some of you are acting like this is the second coming of the Josh Donaldson trade
This is a 2.5 WAR corner outfielder/DH
But I agree with you max I don’t love the way the QO is structured right now. It can really hamper the great but not elite free agents. The guys below don’t have to worry about getting QO’d
Right but in this example it’s actually hurting the international signees because if that money is just eliminated from the total pool, that’s 500K that doesn’t go to one or two or 10 different kids
I don’t get the media hate on this signing
I was on the don’t sign Anthony bus because I thought it would end up like 5/125
But at 14M AAV how can you actually be critical of this? Like where are these guys criticizing the Dodgers paying Tanner Scott almost 20M/year ?
Well I mean of course he had a contingency plan in the extremely predictable event they didn’t sign him
But would he have made this move if they weren’t a finalist for Sasaki? Likely not
