Absofreakinglutely. According to Forbes, the Texans are worth $6.1B. In 2012, they were worth ~$1.5B. There is no need for counties or taxpayers -...
........... I don't really like any of them. I think the navy is way too dark, and, generally, I'm not a huge fan of dark-on-dark - the H-Town...
It sure seems like, for a lot of fans, every player released is suddenly IDEAL for the Texans/Astros/Rockets to sign. I always err on the side...
The Mets haven't won a championship in nearly 40 years. Until last year, this Dodgers' run has mostly been marked by them specifically *not*...
Right. There are 8 teams projected to spend less than $100M this year; only 2 are projected to spend $300+M. Average spending is $158M - 17 teams...
I can't fathom how a player maximizing value equals being a greedy, selfish b*stard. No human being is going to discount themselves in the present...
My intended point is a little broader - there are no restrictions when it comes to spending - there's no salary cap and the CBT penalties are not...
This is all true, to a degree. But none of these owners are poor. They're generating revenue and team values are going up - way up - and certainly...
You're leaving out what I think is an important part of this equation: depending on service time, owners can grossly underpay superstar players...
TBF... Bregman isn't here, and Altuve is playing LF. It sure as heck looks like that decision was happening, regardless of where Bregman signed -...
Why? I mean, to some degree, there's some truth to it - you'd like to roll out 8 everyday players. But I don't think there's any harm in pairing...
It does feel a little loop-hole-y; I suspect MLB feels the same way and will address it - because doesn't it impact the CBT and allow owners to...
The Astros do not "have" to follow a business plan. Any and every team can spend like the Dodgers or Mets. There is nothing stopping them. We...
He's getting $26MM/year, yes - but, also, having his right to negotiate a longer, more lucrative deal taken from him. We need to stop villainizing...
I don't think there's any chance they cut Kenyon Green. He would not save them any cap space, and they almost certainly want new coaching to see...
This is exactly how I'd approach it, as well. You need plug-n-play, veteran OL; not rookies. That's a bad recipe. Very few rookie offensive...
While Boston unquestionably gets significantly more media attention than any other MLB franchise, save Yankees & Dodgers... I'm not connecting the...
I remain dubious - in the face of your enthusiasm - for how Bregman will perform into his 30s. But on this superstar point.... other than Shohei,...
And let's not dismiss his agent wanting to be able to tell everyone he landed the $40M/year contract. Boras was almost certainly in his ear,...
... meaning Bregman will surpass him? I'm dubious. Devers is better right now - and has been since at least 2021. Younger, too, so regression is...
