    I genuinely do not blame Jed on this one, my mind is completely blown by that contract.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Tryptamine
    He's getting 700M, good god.
  5. Tryptamine
    I think NO is significantly better than their record, I don't think it's going to be all that close.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Tryptamine
    Correct, but it does make the margin for error significantly smaller
  9. Tryptamine
    So, do exactly what he did. Look I get it, you're mad he wont be a Cub, but this is just irrational.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. Tryptamine
    Hopefully it's more Montez Sweat than it is Chase Claypool
  17. Tryptamine
    I corrected, but forgot about 17 games this year.
  18. Tryptamine
    The only way they don't get the #1 is if Carolina wins 3 of the 4 remaining games and one of NE/ARI loses their remaining 4 games.
  19. Tryptamine
    NE doing their best to blow it.
  20. Tryptamine
    21-3
  21. Tryptamine
    NE up 14-3, a win would just about wrap up the #1 for the Bears.
  22. Tryptamine
    They are, in fact, at a disadvantage if they don't choose to flex their financial muscle. The rest of the division is collecting competitive balance picks and I believe additional international funds as well.
  23. Tryptamine
    In many things. Cub free agency is not one of those.
  24. Tryptamine
    You don't pay a guy 100M+ knowing that you're going to have to mess with his swing.
  25. Tryptamine
    The optimist in my wants to believe that Jed lost Soto because he's far deeper in talks with Ohtani then we've been led to believe. The pessimist in my says, Jed completely misread Ohtani and in chasing the biggest prize when they were never a realistic get, ended up costing himself Soto as well.
