wasn't there talk that mlb would step in if a team tried to circumvent the luxury tax by reducing the AAV with a ridiculously long contract like NHL teams try to do? i suppose you can barely pull a 13 year deal off with a 26 year old, tho.
-
yeah and we're doing that thing again where we pretend that the opt outs don't have monetary value and aren't exchanged for guaranteed dollars. kyle likes to go this route a lot when he goes all "the player opt outs are pure downside for the team"
-
Out of curiosity, are they accounting for potential inflation on the $/WAR calculation in any way?
-
Supposedly 4/180, and while tempting I don't blame him for not taking it. The way things are going I doubt he'd have made 150M after those 4 years. I think he could've managed to make that in nine years.
-
This feels so much like Beltran did
-
...so you think the Phils would be better off paying Harper 330 mil over a 5 year contract instead of a 13 year contract or something to that effect? No I think he just thought this was an interesting fact.
-
i mean arod got 25M almost 20 years ago
-
man i hated estes and dusty so much for cruz not starting then we traded cruz for horsefeathering andy pratt! yeah, cruz never turned out to be anything special but jesus christ both of those decisions
-
i find it hard to hate jaxon that much for his performance because of how bad most of those teams were. as a deep cut, i'd like to throw 2015 brian schlitter in the mix. i would get so mad when joe would bring him in. i'm amazed that was somehow only 7 innings. felt like 50+

petition to rename my favorite cubs dongs thread "dongs are awesome! yay dongs!" -
Yeah I mentioned that too. It's certainly possible it was just a coincidence but I really want to believe the Cubs were taking one last stab. That said, I feel like even if the Cubs were really good at not leaking info, if the Cubs were talking to one or more teams in a last gasp attempt to clear space, I feel like we would have heard at least some rumblings. does heyman dropping our name in 2 days ago count as "some rumblings?"
-
no we're not True; 3rd is WAY too optimistic. this was a wayyyy too predictable joke. when i saw the notification that you'd replied, i was 90% sure that this is what it was. do better.

no we're not

Well obviously it’s a trade and it would have to provide some benefit to the other team. I’m not sure if a random rebuilding AL team cares if they are facilitating the Cubs getting Harper if it means they are picking up a top Cubs prospect or two along with a player they can spin off at the deadline (Zobrist) or a respected clubhouse guy that can try to overhaul his offense in a no pressure situation while still providing positive value overall or even just a good team that knows it isn't in the harper market. zobrist at $12M for one year is an attractive option for a lot of teams.
-
i don't see why a bunch of teams who aren't even trying to get harper would care if they can get a deal that makes sense for them. particularly with zobrist, who has surplus value.
-
I would 100% buy into this silly conspiracy theory for $10 at those odds. it was +4000, not 4000-1
-
I basically used to do this with all my shitty contracts on baseball mogul so I'm pretty sure it'll work
-
Trade heyward, zobrist, Happ and our entire top 30 for absolutely nothing I don't even care

i felt like the one in the nlcs got damn close

Sounds like something intentionally leaked from the Phillies to try and drive the price down (or at least, stop it from spiraling upward). i don't see how a report that they are feeling bad about their chances and that they prob won't spend the money elsewhere (on keuchel or kimbrel) does much to drive the price down
