    No flag again. Fields never gets them.

    It is hard to believe, considering the Cubs have never given out a 200M deal let alone 500M. I'd like to believe it's true, but I do have significant doubts.
  3. Tryptamine
    So at this point last year, the Cubs had Bellinger and Taillon already announced and in the next week would go on to announce Boxberger, Dansby and Smyly.

    I'm ok with grabbing Bieber, questions and all, because I don't think the cost will be that high. Clase will cost significantly more and still comes with a lot of his questions. I'm not comfortable giving Cleveland the assets they'd receive with that type of uncertainty surrounding Clase, even if his down year in 2023 was still quite good.

    People need to realize that Ohtani the player doesn't necessarily need to be worth 700M for this contract to be a success. It's an investment for the Dodger's future. Kids in Japan will grow up watching Ohtani and the Dodgers on TV. The Dodgers will become the most popular MLB team in Japan. That will carry a lot of weight when future players get posted.

    I'm not saying they should have paid 700M for Ohtani, but to not even make the final 3 is a really bad look. I hope people remember this when Soto is a FA next year.

    There just are no particularly great options at 3B. Yeah you could go Polanco as a passable option, you could severely overpay for a guy in Chapman who was the offensive equivalent of Madrigal over his last 450ish PAs, or you could put together what is likely an enormous package for Paredes who was fantastic last year, but only has last year as a sample of being an upper tier player.

    At the least I'd expect LAD is out on Yamamoto now.
  9. Tryptamine
    I genuinely do not blame Jed on this one, my mind is completely blown by that contract.
  10. Tryptamine
    My understanding was that, that's not how the salary cap works. That it was just what ever the per year average was, despite what they were actually paid in that year. Maybe I made that up, but I could swear that's what it was.
  11. Tryptamine
    Look, I was all in on Ohtani but 70M a year is just mind blowing. The Cubs could put all stars at 3 different positions for that.
  12. Tryptamine
    He's getting 700M, good god.
  13. Tryptamine
    I think NO is significantly better than their record, I don't think it's going to be all that close.
  14. Tryptamine
    I'm finding myself steadily moving to the point where I don't care where he signs anymore. I just want this done so something new can be talked about.
  15. Tryptamine
    There is absolutely no vetting process in the media anymore. The only thing that matters is posting hot takes and guesses as fast as possible.
  16. Tryptamine
    Correct, but it does make the margin for error significantly smaller
  17. Tryptamine
    So, do exactly what he did. Look I get it, you're mad he wont be a Cub, but this is just irrational.
  18. Tryptamine
    If he pulls a Lebron he's seeking attention for his ego, if he does the opposite and says he doesn't want do anything publicly he's seeking attention. The guy is in a no win scenario. The media is legitimately mad at him for how quiet he has been about this.
  19. Tryptamine
    Come on Jed, it doesn't have to be Ohtani, but give us something. It doesn't have to be huge, hell I'd be pretty excited if it was Robert Stephenson, just give us something.
  20. Tryptamine
    You've got them adding about 90M in 2024 between Ohtani/Hoskins/Chapman before they even think about SP/RP. It would be glorious, but there's just no way.
  21. Tryptamine
    I think the Saints handle them as well as Green Bay. Jacksonville will handle them too unless they have nothing to play for in the 2nd to last week, which is unlikely. I could see them beating Atlanta, but I think it's still kind of unlikely. The final game of the season against TB is where I think they have a decent shot of getting a win. If they surprise and pull off a win before TB, I'm going to be holding my breath during that game.
  22. Tryptamine
    If Ohtani is indeed headed to Toronto, the bidding war on Yamamoto is going to be crazy. You're going to have 3 desperate teams(LAD, NYY, NYM) all with extremely deep pockets trying to lure the last top tier piece of this offseason.
  23. Tryptamine
    It's going to be really close Carolina has (5-7) Saints (6-6) ATL (6-6) GB (8-4) JAX (5-7) TB NE has (8-4) KC (6-6) DEN (6-6) BUF (4-8) NYJ
  24. Tryptamine
    Hopefully it's more Montez Sweat than it is Chase Claypool
  25. Tryptamine
    I corrected, but forgot about 17 games this year.
