no one describes them either of those two ways That's not true, this was literally posted yesterday after the Harper news came out: That's far from the first time where an opt out by itself has been considered a good thing from the team's side. saying "hey an opt out might work out for the team" is not the same as "this is good for the team because he is definitely going to opt out."
-
Nah, I get that part. That’s still not how most people describe them. They don’t say “it sucks to give an opt-out but it saves us $60m in guaranteed money.” They say “this is actually good for us because we don’t want his decline years and he is definitely going to opt out.” no one describes them either of those two ways
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he's had conversations with guys who have opt-outs who have said if they had to do it all over again they'd rather not deal with it. who knows if it's even true anyway the $330 million figure is so suspicious because it just happens to be $5 mil more than stanton's deal. I dont buy the "prioritize length" of contract thing from Boras at all. it seems way more likely that the motivation was to top Stanton's total dollar figure, and only the phillies would do it — and even they would only do it with a 13-year deal so they could knock down the AAV.

man i hated estes and dusty so much for cruz not starting then we traded cruz for horsefeathering andy pratt! yeah, cruz never turned out to be anything special but jesus christ both of those decisions juan cruz would have been pedro martinez if only we'd given him the chance
-
most of my hate is for pitchers - glendon rusch (though he follows me on twitter now so he's cool) shawn estes and jason maquis.
-
i cant believe there's no opt outs. there's gonna be a strike and then a new cba and $25 mil is gonna be next to nothing. Imagine if LeBron had signed a decade long 25m a year contract before the last CBA, he'd be passing up on $15 million per year. Just insane.
-
he barely makes more than jason heyward does lmao, we're fucked
-
Most Americans eat theirs well done with ketchup, because Americans mostly suck at everything most americans do not eat steak well done with ketchup
-
or both were out for personal reasons and we should let them be. personal reasons aka house shopping in san fran
-
they can literally have iowa
-
not only that BUT boras is clearly leaking the "additional meetings with the giants" stuff to pressure the cubs into just making the heyward/zobrist trade already and then giving 350 million to harper
-
i trust everyone has seen the willson contreras bomb. if he and bryant are good again ...
-
why would the giants want a good player on their team? to me, it makes no sense.
-
opens the door for jaxon's return
-
Kris Bryant is awesome and we were always right to love him
imb replied to Brian's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
bryant is a little more bad ass than i thought -
im so glad this horsefeathers is going bald
-
we did it https://twitter.com/WTraymor/status/1100499088112566272
-
thanks for clearing that up
-
in the end this thread was more of a curse than the injury threads
-
best post on page 1 He was right because they were already crippled so nothing could do it to them. maybe he got an advanced look at loria's marlin docs
-
idiot
-
page 2 - how about none of the above
-
not to say anything of harper, but pretty much nothing is going to be potentially crippling to the cubs financially anywhere in the near or long term. best post on page 1
-
definitely tiger
-
Actually probably just the opposite, he came back to use the locker that the Cubs were going to give to Harper before they realized he was serious about wanting a big contract. fucken got his ass dude
