    What's the definition of "own players?" What if you traded for the player the previous deadline?
  2. mvp 78
    I have no answers. It's hard to pick apart what the owners want.
  3. mvp 78
    It's obvious that the owners are making good money off of these teams. Why else would there be a rush to sign FA's prior to the CBA expiring? Does this show that the owners believe the luxury tax penalties will either go away or at least the threshold would go up higher? It seems like there are a few strata of baseball owners: 1. large market, flushed with cash (LAD, BOS, NY, SF) 2. mid level teams that alternate between spending and being thrifty (TOR, ChiSox, TEX, DET, SD) 3. smaller market teams that rarely spend anything (PIT, TBR, OAK, MIA, CLE) How do the ownerships work together when it seems like there are competing interests in terms of how to manage payroll? Why would teams like LAD ever be ok with a luxury threshold? Is there something the lower level teams have in their back pocket that keeps their interests at the forefront?

    He's referring to Austin Wells, a beefy C who isn't great behind the dish. Maybe he sticks there for a while like Gary Sanchez, but he has DH written all over him without Yorke's hit tool.

    I forgot about that bad contract. I guess the Betts' deal is a steal these days!

    @NBCSEdgeBB Report: Correa asking for $330-350 million Betts 37.2 fWAR prior to signing his deal. Correa has 25.1 fWAR. Honestly, I'm not sure I'd give him $250M.

    @ChrisCotillo Some Red Sox news: Maverick Carter has been added to the Red Sox Foundation’s Board of Directors.

    On Yorke: "He's potentially a double-plus hitter with average power who can stay on the infield" If he can stay at 2b, that is the biggest win for this org.

    @BeyondtheMnstr Nick Yorke is now the No. 31 prospect in all of baseball, per @BaseballAmerica
  11. mvp 78
    Giants wouldn't make that trade.
  12. mvp 78
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-baseball/supreme-court-wont-hear-challenge-to-baseball-antitrust-immunity-idUSKCN0RZ1JV20151005 The Supreme Court stated as much with the A's/San Jose situation.

    So no games until 4/16 at 12 AM?
  14. mvp 78
    The Oakland A's aren't allowed to move to San Jose because the Giants have a poop in their diaper and are cranky (aka antitrust exemption). If you take the poop out of the diaper, the Oakland A's could move to San Jose if they wanted to.

    The parallels between Congress and MLB Owners: universally reviled can't budget need to be saved from themselves laws don't apply to them move slower than molasses love saber rattling take the general public for granted
  16. mvp 78
    It's not about a second league coming in for competition. Getting rid of the exemption would allow bargaining power to MiLB players and it would be easier for teams to move to a more lucrative market (the A's for example).

    Looking forward to his cards exceeding Jasson Dominguez level.
  19. mvp 78
    1. I don't trust Tony Clark because he f'd up last CBA. 2. I don't trust the owners because of their history of bad management.
  20. mvp 78
    Yes, cheap teams will either keep arb players as long as possible. Extra years on the back end allow for them to either give below market salaries or trade the player with additional remaining years of control that increases trade value.

    Single game tickets go on sale this Friday at 10AM!
  22. mvp 78
    They could have afforded Mookie. They didn't like the sticker price.
  23. mvp 78
    If he's still turning profits, it's probably in part due to revenue sharing. Hard to say without actually seeing financials.
  24. mvp 78
    I agree. Right now they are in a lull period of the offseason. Pitchers and catchers are supposed to report sometime the week of Valentine's Day. Talks should probably heat up the first few weeks of February. They should have a deal done within 30 days of that point.
  25. mvp 78
    Who do the Jays retain? Do they build the team around Vlad Jr and Bichette 2? Would they be able to even keep both?
