There have been 14 of these contracts in history; 2 have won titles. Most are still in the early years or haven't even started yet. Stanton is...

Neither Pujols or Hamilton were $300MM contracts, so they weren't the types of contracts being referred to. And Mike Trout hasn't prevented the...
Money in 2043 is worth less than money today. If I say I'll pay you $100 in 2043, it's basically the same as me saying I'll pay you $45 today...
It's not - he's actually getting paid properly and the Dodgers getting taxed properly on a $460MM contract. The $700MM is just a fake number....
Interesting - I had no idea. It's apparently because the compensation is deferred 10 years. If the money was paid 9 years out, it would be taxed...
It's similar to offsides on the defense - except a "free play" for the defense in the this case. If the play results in a sack or interception,...
The money was earned for work performed in California, so I think he'd still be on the hook, though I'm not positive. Otherwise, employees would...
What do you mean? Money in 10 years is worth less than today. If a team was going to pay him $46MM/yr today, they just invest that money in...
But he wasn't getting $700MM from anyone else either. He's getting $460MM or so after accounting for the lost value - that's likely the range he...
No - he just wanted a big headline number, but the value of his contract is less. The luxury tax number will be about $46MM per year because...
The whole thing is stupid. Imagine the NFL with all QBs on 1-year deals. If you're Oregon, why ever recruit a QB? You can get a Heisman-level...
There's the occasional team that does that. But you could also just argue that it's smart management. The vast majority of free agent deals don't...
And yet, their payroll was the same as the Astros last year. It's like people don't actually pay attention to what these teams do. Dodgers'...
You're asking to me to justify why I did something I never did - that is not a basic question That is an impossible question to answer because...
That's due to the structure of the sport - no salary cap, and far more focused on local revenues as opposed to national ones. You switch other...
Can you point to where I have justified any occupation?
Weird that you still can't answer a very basic question but then think it makes sense to pretend to speak for others.
Apparently, the warnings are fairly common for lesser cases, but this one was too far offsides to warrant it. In a pool report, referee Carl...
No, you can't - it's a UT-specific RSVP. You only get to buy the ticket if UT makes it. If Washington wins, the people who bought the Washington...
