  1. Highly doubt that and if it is go to 8/160 to lessen the LT hit and front load it. Who cares if we’re paying him $10 mil a year 5+ years from now unless there's some mlb rule/tax implication i'm overlooking (which i don't think bc it's all based on AAV anyway), there's no good reason to frontload when you can backload. money now >>>>>> money later you would front load as an incentive to a player to take a lower over AAV to protect you from the tax hit. He gets more money sooner, which has more value, while you avoid tax hit.
  2. I guess he's gonna keep it [tweet] [/tweet]
  3. i feel like the blackhawks backlash has been pretty quiet compared to the Redskins, Indians, Chief Illiniwek etc. is there a reason for that? other than hockey just not being as popular as the other sports? or is there pushback that i just haven't seen? the chief wahoo and redskins are cartoonishly racist, while the others can more realistically claim they are honoring people.
  4. No rush
  5. Wtf? Seriously, wtf. Have the players reached too far? Wtf?

  7. If you're bored waiting on darvish, might I suggest you check out this CNN lawyer meltdown story. It's a real hoot. Start here and explore
  8. Oh boy your in for a real disappointment. I love how the moderators always keep these threads politics free. The forum isn't exactly overwhelmed with content at the moment during this slow offseason. I'll allow it. I'll also allow your snark -- you're welcome! Slinging 'tent
  9. I, for one blame Javy; by not putting a ring on it, he's rendered an otherwise outstanding thread title factually incorrect. Her twitter handle name is Mrs Baez
  10. It's not a bad rap to criticize billion dollar professional sports teams for trying to lose games.
  11. Some of the remaining FA are talking about holding their own spring training together. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Kinda hard to say something like this when the Cubs and Astros have won the last two World Series doing exactly this. Not at all. The problem is not that tanking hurts you, the problem is incentivizing tanking is bad for the sport. And I believe that is absolutly true. You have 5-6 teams actively tanking right now, and tanking is a multi year process. It's really bad for the concept of professional sport.

  13. He's been catering to dumb white people so long, he deserves the benefit of the doubt here.
  14. why would you think that If the Cubs don't make a move heading into the regular season, their moves are Chatwood and Morrow and lost Arrieta? The Brewers were nearly better than them last year. #nearly
  15. If/when Chicago and a NY team becomes relevant again and Dallas, Green Bay, San Fran, and/or Denver is playoff caliber, there will be a bounce in popularity. You can't have so many top markets be garbage teams plus alienate multiple markets with teams either moving or pre-moving, and not see a downtick in national interest.
  16. All the warning signs are there for Quintana, too. *Still under 30 t. Turned 29 today, as a matter of fact
