It seems to me the only reason to enter the portal now instead of 3 or 4 weeks from now is if you're trying to go to an elite school. A lesser...
So you're going to trade Framber for prospects and then trade prospects to replace Framber? The only reason I can see to do this is if you think...
It's so weird to me. He's also the only innings-eater on the team. Verlander has worn down in recent seasons. Javier and Brown haven't shown...
Except you can't "backfill" one of the top or so pitchers in the league unless you're paying a boatload of money or are willing to drop your odds...
Then midseason everyone will be complaining about our lack of aces. You can't sign a player for better value than you're getting with Framber....
If you're only ever looking 3-4 years ahead, you're also doomed to failure. Trading your chances to win in 2024 and 2025 so you might be better...
You seem to be arguing both sides here. On hand, you're pointing out that you don't need to be great to have a chance at the WS. But you're also...
Given Dubon's history and comments about SF, I don't see any scenario where Dubon ends up there.
The team let Cole, Springer, Correa, Keuchel, Morton, etc walk away and kept building and competing. Maybe the message you send is that we believe...
If the Dodgers can collect 10 half-season pitchers, maybe they can form a full rotation.
It's the grass-is-always-greener effect. Everyone is always looking forward to the next shiny thing. I don't think people realize how rare it is...
Oh whoops - gotcha. I thought you were referring to the $680MM and thinking that should be $460.
No - they put in $46MM/yr and let it earn interest. Then by the time they pay it out, the value has increased so they can pay out his $680MM while...
Pretty crazy that MLB would promote the most popular player in the league on their twitter account.
Browns certainly could have, but Purdy would probably still be Mr. Irrelevant at this point and out of the league or be a practice squad player....
How many players take a large non-deferred contract to play for the Pirates or Brewers? Deferred contracts have no real economic impact except on...
I think it could impact players signing their 2nd big deals. For example, Bregman could happily defer money to get his $300MM deal and also not...
So now it's a bad thing to honor your contract? The rationales people are using to find a reason to despise him are pretty funny. He's all...
At current risk-free rates, the value of his deal is $460MM - that's how that luxury tax numbers comes out. Sure, he could invest the money more...
This would only be true if there was a team out there offering him $700MM non-deferred. There is no evidence that's the case. So he's only losing...
