You did? Where? BTW, it is night not day. But other than that you are right on the ball: sharp as a tack!

It's not kosher to post private messages on the forum, but as the village idiot, you would not know that. Have fun in your little sandbox, shitface!!

Scary thought indeed

I have a new term that applies here: PTSD = post Tulo stress disorder

NO you totally miss the point. If Arenado goes back to putting up 4-5 WAR IN 2021, that does not at all mean he automatically opts out of 5 yr $160M (approximately) at the age of 31! It only means he is worthy of that further 5 year commitment to a guy who would be 36 at the end of the contgract. Even before COVID, that would have been questionable for a 3rd baseman over 30. I really don't see him getting more guaranteed money in the post-COVID world. But, I guess we'll see what the likes of Springer and Realmuto get, but don't count on big bucks - also count on a good chance of a 'work stoppage/ lockout' prior to 2022. ETA: if 1 WAR = 8 M then 4 WAR = $32M. so tell me again how a 31 year old 3rd baseman is worth more than 5/160 !?

Who do you suggest for the left side of the infield on the FA market that can move the needle the way Arenado can (D and O both, notwithstanding a s***** 2020 pseudo-season)?! Maybe Simmons if he bounces back, maybe Semien, but only really had one outstanding season in 2019. Turner is older than dirt and likely will rather stay with the Dodgers than move to a team that may be stuck playing in Buffalo again (can't f***ING believe I am saying that but April will be here before you know it, and everyone is still running around with their hair on fire COVID wise). Do you really want to wait 3 years for Groshans to 'maybe' become an elite MLB player, or get the bird in hand now? 'Fun' days ahead

Very astute commentary there. Thank you very much for that

You need to learn how to spell or alternatively f*** off ETA what a bunch of jackals all attacking the new guy.

opting out with 5 years and about $160M still owed in the current environment (don't expect it to get much better for the players in a year from now), is a fools errand for a 31 year old.

I don't consider a contrived 60 game season to mean much for a player that has no injury issues and is in his prime with several years of elite performance under his belt. Could be a long slump in the middle of a 162 game season would match his 2020 performance.

Did the Jays win the Donaldson trade!!!??? I am suggesting a very similar scenario that could turn out pretty much the same! Go ahead and pleasure yourself thinking about how great all those prospects will be in 2-3 (or is it4-5) years. This is real life not a video game. When you get a chance to trade prospect capital; for a star in his prime and you want to contend you pull the trigger. For example, wouldn't you rather have Arenado than that fat ass Guerrero right now?

You are a sad little man. I, on the other hand, am an agnostic and do not have the audacity to denigrate that which I can not confirm or disprove. By the way, I hear there is strong evidence that the world is flat. ETA: the word is pray NOT prey. what a f***ing moron!

maybe 5.5 million could be possible. otherwise I call total BS

Back at you Wasaga ETA : using the Lord's name in vain only shows you to be a douchebag with no class and limited vocabulary- just sayin........

Are you sure 55 million!!?? - there are less than 40 million people in all of Canada and how many others would give s hit about who is managing the Jays?. Are you sure you didn't mean 55 thousand ?
