Clubs that are $40 million or more above the threshold shall have their highest selection in the next Rule 4 Draft moved back 10 places unless the pick falls in the top six. In that case, the team will have its second-highest selection moved back 10 places instead.
Yup. The first year we are over we pay 20% of the overage to the league. Of that 20% the teams that stay under get half of it. Every consecutive year over the cbt threshold the payment penalty goes up. Ie. in the second year over we would pay 30% and the third year over we would pay 50%.
Lets hope Vladdy is on an off season regimen that doesn’t include grandmas cooking. Can’t tell you how disappointed I’ll be if he starts hammering balls in the dirt come April.
Sure that is a good example however Kirk was not brought up to be the number 1 he was still behind Jansen. The Pirates could still need a catcher.

“While Pirate fans would love to see Rodriguez start the year with the team that is not going to happen. If there was anyone holding out hope manager Derek Shelton even said during the Winter Meetings that Rodriguez would not start the season on the MLB roster.”
Who is the Pirates opening day catcher next season? Heineman is strictly backup. Perez may not be healthy has he even started playing this off season? Endy Rodriguez isn’t ready and will start next year at A ball. They could use a catcher.
Don't like him as a person but as has been noted his d will be a good addition. The needle has been moved by the slightest of margins but he may not hit his weight. Bradley Zimmer 2.0?
