    It's possible some ownership groups didn't want to go as extreme? While the net present value is what it is, maybe they felt the 70M annual was still too precedent setting ?

    I admittedly don't know the ins and outs legally speaking, but I doubt this makes him a secured debt holder as a backdoor ownership route. The CBA already has provisions to require funding of the present value of the contract. So most of his deferred comp will sit in cash/equivalent assets. And I'm sure the prescence of CBA will stop any backdoor ownership trickery as that's the type of thing a CBA is there to do (among many others) Edit - or as a few of the comments point out he's unsecured anyways.

    100% the case. There may be some marginal interest rate arbitrage happening, but it could benefit Ohtani as easily as the Dodgers.
  4. WrigleyField 22
    Yes.
  5. WrigleyField 22
    Only 2 epic collapses from being a fluky 7-6 team due for a reversion to the mean in 2024!
  6. WrigleyField 22
    Yes a positive reversal from last year's tank track

    Top 10 in Epa - I think 9th, I think. Plus top 10 in some other EPA+derivative type stats (if we do the bad eliminate the bad sample thing)
  8. WrigleyField 22
    You say this like it's some obscure take. Sacks and fumbles are two well documented issues with passer rating that are well documented as two of Fields biggest issues too. Issue with eliminating bad samples aside, there's other advanced metrics that show his run over that time has been a pretty solid one. Your takes on him remain laughably over the top IMO.
  9. WrigleyField 22
    I kind of hate game by game passer rating evals like that. It's got enough issues as a rating, I'd rather just see it stacked up cumulatively (and then evaluate the parts it's missing too) But also, you can't evaluate Fields and ignore the early season struggles. Every game of this year was important to evaluating his future.

    Either way this one has some serious poetic meaning potential.

    I mean it's a totally reasonable Idea that NFL teams are way too fearful of despite the failure rate on such an arrangement lacking any evidence (1/1 success rate in past ~40 years, by my lazy count)

    NYT has a great tracker for this FYI. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/upshot/chicago-bears-nfl-playoff-picture.html Basically if they win out they have a 50% chance right now.

    This is part hilarious part horrific

    If he gets enough attention maybe he pays for 10% of his blue check mark for the month!

    Did the sharks give him an offer too?
  17. WrigleyField 22
    It's over guys. Ohtani is in Toronto
  18. WrigleyField 22
    Very classy to go turn them down in person, after leaving LA to do same to Dodgers. Last leg of flight to new home soon.

    The level of fixing required to do that without the benefit of a lottery system would be pretty horsefeathers epic.
  21. WrigleyField 22
    Steelers my new second favorite team.
  22. WrigleyField 22
    I mean guys have returned in the day before NIL (Bradford, Luck). It won't be the sole reason, but could help tilt scales.
  23. WrigleyField 22
    Agreed, not sure it changes much for the Bears, if true other than pushing up every non QB up the board one slot. In particular it could impact the Bears if they are looking WR at pick 2 or in trade down. However I'm highly skeptical. Scrounge up low end Rd1 NIL money? Maybe. Top 5 pick money? Really defies believability. And like 12+ players I think are hitting the portal for OSU. They probably need to spread that around a bit.
  24. WrigleyField 22
    Hes gonna text back!
  25. WrigleyField 22
    I don't know, most offseasomss have been really slow moving and thus relatively boring. Plus we'll never get a caliber of an Ohtani so there's less to be excited over ever again.
