  1. He's a bully, that's a deal-breaker https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20230105002600315
  2. After what they paid for Busch I don't want Hoskins anymore. Kid is 27, give him his chance now.
  3. did jed just call him shingo
  4. Thanks I'll check it out. I mostly go for snacks, everything is usually cleaned out by the time I head over haha
  5. Lmao I go to that market place all the time but I have no clue what he looks like. Probably walked past him
  6. That stroman deal can go up to 5 years depending on his innings pitched. Smart move after all for him opting out
  7. Ferris is a steep price to pay for a AAAA guy like this. Hopefully he works out better than McKinstry
  8. I think they might be in on Hader if his market doesn't take off. But if they sign Chapman thats probably off, don't think they would sign two QO players
  9. I really hope Imanaga outperforms Yamamoto, aside from helping the team win those Dodgers fan tears would be satisfying after all the money they spent
  10. That contract is pretty weird. Wonder if it's an injury thing or that his market just cratered. With so many teams dropping interest in him the last couple days, I'm thinking it was injury concerns.
  11. Was no one gaga for Imanaga then? That's a surprisingly low aav. Kind of concerning if no other team stepped in on that
  12. Solid first move, still a ways to go for the team to even get back to the level they were last year. Replacing Stroman and Bellinger just gets them back at being a fringe playoff team. Still need bullpen and 3B and 1B
  13. Feels like the Dodgers have spent more money on total contracts this offseason than the Cubs have spent the last decade combined
  14. He's 29 this july
  15. I think anything that generates excitement leads to more revenue, like in season ticket sales and merchandise. The Dodgers crazy spending made news everywhere for instance and that probably got regular people into looking at what was going on there. I think a condensed wild spending spree like that would get people talking. People go crazy for the nba free agency and it basically ends after a day or two. But yeah it is definitely more leverage for the owners, would need a concession like a spending floor without a hard cap.
  16. Yeah MLB offseason is too damn boring. Bet Manfred will look into how to make it exciting, his changes shortening game time did wonders, gotta keep the young ones interested in the sport.
  17. About to sign with the padres according to heyman
  18. So the Cubs are spending all their money this offseason on coaches and executives. While every one of the other 29 major teams is spending on money on players. Is Jed ahead of the curve here? Are players overrated?
  19. I'd like the Cubs to try and get Pasquantino
  20. I think they only have 14 mil more space before the highest luxury tax tier. So I don't think they have a big swing left in them. They could trade for Bieber and his very reasonable salary.
  21. Imanaga to the Yankees now I suppose? What other teams would be in on Montgomery then? Hoyer might end up getting a steal by being the cheap bastard he is.
  22. Sorry didn't mean to offend
  23. Just like that the Dodgers have completely cornered the Japanese market. I think a 27 mil aav will end up being a steal for them.
  24. Yeah I'm guessing Yankees too, looking forward to seeing him pitch. He put up some insane numbers in Japan.
  25. Probably unwilling to go over 2 years
