Oh they were ghouls too for sure, though I did have fun going to them, but in comparison to Ricketts.....
-
Ugh the dates of this are right in the middle of tax season. I was already planning on a 4-6 week vacation in Japan after tax season next year. This would have been a really cool thing to add onto that.

It would take a massive haul for me to be on board with this. He's under control up to 2028, and been a top 10-15 pitcher in baseball since the 2nd half of 2023. It would take something that's not going to be offered by anyone like Holliday+Heston Kjerstad+Cade Povich.

Remember when we were all on Rickett's side for driving those rooftop owners out because we were under the delusion there were going to be massive new revenue streams from the park renovation? Those were good optimistic times.

He'd be smart to take it into a C Corp, with a flat tax rate of 21% federal versus the 37% he'd pay federally as an individual. He'd pay a bit more to Illinois, but the federal savings would far out weigh that and the deductions he could take on that income on a C Corp would far outweigh what he could take on his individual return. Unless I'm misunderstanding his request, I feel like it would be foolish to not do this.

With about 99% certainty we can cross Burnes and Soto off the list. This FO has proven they don't swim in the deep end of the talent pool.

If he opts out, he's opting out of 2/35. He's 31 right now and will be 32 very near the start of the 2025 season. If he's opting out of 2 years, he's going to want 3+. Are you prepared to give him 3+ years at around 20M for at least his age 32,33 and 34 seasons? I'm not entirely comfortable with that for a guy that brings a giant chunk of his value with the glove.

Hot take, but I rather hate this draft.

Safe to assume Carson Wiggins is going to school at this point?
-
Edgar Alvarez did have an 1.192 OPS at Nicholls stat. 18.4BB%, 11.11k%, .405/.514/.678 slash.

There's your 5th year SR under slot
-
One would think that they have enough saved to pop a pretty big name, no?
-
They really love their exit velocity guys.
-
Ivan Brethowr #194 on MLB.COM
-
They went with a raw power monster in the 7th round
-
So at this point I kind of figure it goes like this 1) Cam gets slot 2) Math gets just slightly under slot maybe you save 200Kish 3) Cruz gets probably at least 75% of slot so you save 150-200Kish 4) Southisene gets slot, maybe a bit over so conservatively we say it wipes out the money saved on Cruz 5) Ariel Armas maybe gets you some saving, 100kish 6) Gallagher gets gets you maybe 50-75K in savings. So really you're only looking at about 350K saved right now.

Brewers take the lead back, up to 4.
-
Cubs join the Brewers as the only teams with 3 unranked picks thus far.
-
Yet another unranked pick
-
This was my first thought as well.
-
Highest ranked guys still undrafted #56 Dax Whitney #76 Garret Schull #79 Carson Wiggins #80 Chase Mobley #91 Sawyer Farr #92 Noah Franco
-
Not that the rankings are the end all be all, but as of now. The Dodgers are the only team with only 1 guy drafted in the top 100, the Cubs are tied with numerous others for 2nd fewest with 2.
-
He's a JR though, so it's not like the usual college SR where you can just say here's 10k, sign the contract.
-
A quick read indicates glove first catcher with not a lot to offer with the bat.
-
Please will that into existence. Thanks.
