    If someone wants to hand their bullpen ace/closer role to someone still rehabbing and throwing in the high 80's, well, then go nuts I guess. Is this not crazy to anyone else?

    But, no, you don't because he's likely one of their best 2-3 relievers.

    2 year penalty (as opposed to one year)? Is that because we went over a second time in 2015-16? Nope. We took advantage and only got a one year penalty(Rangers too) before it turned into a 2 year penalty. Once it did though, the teams just looked at it as (need 3+ years talent in order for it to be worth it) and just overspent by even more...... Just a stupid system. Ok I totally missed or forgot about it becoming a 2 year penalty.

    Why are the Cubs limited to a 300k bonus next year under the new CBA? My understanding is that the 2 year penalty for going over the "limit" that was in place with the old CBA carries over to this CBA. So they'll have the roughly 4.75 mil pool of money to spend, but can't go over 300k on any 1 player next year. 2 year penalty (as opposed to one year)?

    Who cares? Nevermind the fact that I don't see how anyone could have expected otherwise (as to Davis clearly being that guy) either.

    I'll stick with the way I think about it. Unsigned deals on the CBA and NPB, along with Otani's unclear motivations leave anything up for grabs. Not counting on him the way I was but to say "Cubs are out" for sure based on what MLB is current telling Passan seems pessimistic. I said Cubs are out "until 2019 at the earliest, unless something changes." It's just a statement of a fact. Not pessimistic. Under the new CBA the Cubs are limited to a 300k bonus for him while other teams can offer nearly $10 million. Any team can give him a 1 year opt out to free agency to get him to come over. Hopefully something changes. Under the current rules however, he won't be a Cub in 2018. Why are the Cubs limited to a 300k bonus next year under the new CBA?

    That horsefeathering elbow better hold out for 50-70 innings this year+postseason innings Between horsefeathers the closer and our many bullpen options, I'm hoping we're very conservative with him in the regular season. Then Joe can go full Chapman (only please not with a 4 or 5 run lead this time) mode in the playoffs.

    No. In the hypothetical/error Nightengale tweet scenario of the Rockies signing Fowler..... The Rockies lose the 11th pick and we get a compensation pick somewhere between like picks 25-35. Wait. Don't the picks always come after the first round and not during? You're forgetting to remove the teams that forfeit their first.

    oh my god larry holmes just said he thinks you would get more than *just* archer for baez please stop
  22. David
    We wouldn't have gotten the 11th pick. And he probably either had Fowler on the brain for some other reason or just got mixed up because they both did the one year bet on selves contracts.
