Probably not a big issue. Who's going to want to spend after this disaster? Sorry, Mookie...
-
You're saying they would have to re-set again?
-
If that's it, there are 22 to 24 who do. But I'm guessing there are a number of undecideds.
-
Big Papi against the shift? Maybe not tremendously exciting, but any hit by a Red Sox player is generally a good thing.
-
Bunting for hits is fun to see. Bunting for outs, not so much.
-
Not sure if Goodell is any better. I think maybe the NFL is just harder to f*** up.
-
Baseball is clearly the most f***ed up of the major sports.
-
A fluke is a fluke - I like Bloom but not even I will be crediting him for foreseeing a pandemic.
-
Now this is some sweet hyperbole right here.
-
Now I think you're getting carried away a bit. How are the owners 'demonizing' the players? Looks to me like they're just playing a little hardball on the salaries.
-
You can be wacky sometimes.
-
True enough. My position here is just that Cora's punishment was sufficient for what he did.
-
I'm going with that too.
-
I wouldn't call what happened to Cora a slap on the wrist. He was banned for a year, fired and humiliated. The washout of the season is just a fluke that has affected a lot of things.
-
Good stuff. I'm a big fan of HV III, love to see him win one, or make some serious money at least.
-
Which is so different from the other major sports, right? More evidence that baseball is a tough and tricky game, I guess.
-
I think Drew's signing was fine too.
-
If it was me doing the list I'd probably add back 25 million if the guy was instrumental in getting a ring - that applies to Price, Lackey & Drew. But not Lugo or Dice-K. Well, maybe 10 million for Dice-K.
-
If your list is meant to be restricted to free agent signings, AGon shouldn't be there anyway.
-
The list is too long, I think. For me the amount of wasted money is a big factor. Snow's 2 million dollars was a very insignificant amount.
-
J. T. Snow at #14? His contract was 2 million dollars.
-
A day late and a dollar short!
-
Kimmi already posted the story on the previous page?
-
And I agree with a lot of this. If I'm being devil's advocate for the owners I would argue what is being called sharing of losses is pay cutting, which is commonplace when businesses are losing money. I could also argue that players do share profits, indirectly, because when business is booming players are getting monster contracts - guaranteed contracts that will be paid even if the player tanks.
-
Interesting statement that deserves some analysis. My first question would be how and when have the owners actually socialized losses.
