    It's annoying that the Dodgers are going to be able to manipulate the CBT figure a bit, but I guess it makes sense. Technically he is taking less present value over the life of the contract by deferring, so I can't get too worked up about the AAV being reduced for tax purposes. I have to assume the same would be true for any backloaded deal, even without deferred money?

    This might help. It appears this guy has a history of being completely wrong in other instances.

    Obviously I don't put any faith in that CJ Golson guy, but IF his game is just throwing things against the wall, he's giving too many specifics... which leads me to believe he's just straight up trolling.

    3 posts in 19 years and he comes out of nowhere with this one. Well done, sir. Way to play the long game!

    Is Wayne Messmer posting cryptic tweets yet?

    I just tried booking a table at La Scarola for tomorrow night (seriously) based on Fergie's recommendation. They are all booked for tomorrow. Shohei dinner reservation confirmed.

    It is December 9 in Japan. So much for the Japanese day of luck.

    No doubt he is working on a pure royalty deal in perpetuity.

    Ok now that is just hilarious. I guess maybe Robert is having sushi for dinner tonight.

    I think that's more of an "oh ho ho" rather than "oh oh oh".
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Yeah, this has gone off the rails. Not his fault by any means, but the secrecy has definitely contributed to the absolute looniness of the whole process.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    This was all a ploy by Shohei to find the leak. He found it. Toronto, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

    After he finishes Season 2 of the Wire, perhaps.

    And if Bowden and Nightingale are right... In any normal job, that's enough for Morosi to get fired, right? Everyone is in a rush to be first and who knows what sketchy sources they are trusting to get there.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    No way. Tom is saving up to buy the Diner Grill.

    I'm fine with Ohtani going to the Blue Jays, but the thing that is mildly annoying is that this was seemingly a winnable negotiation. If he would have gone to the Dodgers, then we probably assume it was going to be the Dodgers all along for various reasons, but what does Toronto have that Chicago doesn't?
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    Poor Baltimore.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    He is actually going to fly to every city and whichever trip doesn't get leaked is the team he will sign with. We win, since apparently he was never here.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    Yes, but how do we know he isn't just really good friends with Tucker Barnhart and is accompanying Tucker on a free agent visit to Toronto?
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Turns out I don't know how to embed tweets anymore.

    I have it on good authority that someone just reserved a table at Byron's Hot Dogs.

    One thing to consider is that IF Carolina wins the 2 or more games they would need to tie New England, doing so would directly impact their SOS in a favorable way.

    I just realized the Bears get the Panthers second round pick in 2025 as well. This is the trade that keeps on giving. It is hard to believe this Panthers team will get substantially better next year, so that will likely be a very early second rounder to stack on top of everything else.
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I'll feel really good about it if Carolina loses this weekend. The Saints aren't a good team and it's a winnable game for Carolina. If they don't get this one, the path to 2-3 more wins gets very difficult.
