    Tickets AREN'T selling well though.

    Before he does that he just has to find someone willing to take on Eovaldi's remaining 40M or so at the deadline...
  3. Bellhorn04
    No I meant 'any pitchers left', period. Strictly a guess, but I think if he pitches well they keep him. We do need some starting pitchers for 2021. And by today's standards, 17 million a year for 2 more seasons is not huge.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Yuck. Honestly are there any pitchers left who don't have injury concerns?
  5. Bellhorn04
    Now some splits please.
  6. Bellhorn04
    This year he got a calf strain in Florida.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Who woulda thunk it?
  8. Bellhorn04
    At this point, if you can keep him healthy enough to DH it'll be a plus.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Correct, except that in the last CBA they made a change so that the approximate present value of the deferred payments would be counted for payroll tax purposes. So Sale's actual payments are 145 million for 5 years, but the present value was calculated at 128 million, and his AAV for tax purposes is 25.6 million.

    To quote the great scribe Shaughnessy: Swell.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Agree on all that.
  12. Bellhorn04
    His first game is Friday I believe.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe once he turned down that first offer, he decided he was going all the way with this. It became a challenge unto itself.
  14. Bellhorn04
    If they do that instead of a #5 starter, I'm OK with it. Any more than that and I wouldn't be happy.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Seems like there's some bad doctorin' goin' on in the Bronx.

    In yet another bit of unwelcome injury news for the Yankees, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Wednesday that Giancarlo Stanton sustained a calf injury while working in the outfield yesterday (Twitter link via Joel Sherman of the New York Post). Stanton has already undergone an MRI, which revealed a Grade 1 strain in his ailing right calf. Boone suggested that Stanton will “be down for a bit” and implied that the slugger could miss time early in the season.

    And then a home run. Good thing we didn't trade him after that dismal start!
  18. Bellhorn04
    No, deferred money deals like Sale's, Scherzer's and Strasburg's are totally legit. The players really are agreeing to substantial deferrals, and the present values are used for tax purposes.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Agreed. And this would be a very obvious attempt.
  20. Bellhorn04
    The Red Sox investigation is taking longer than the Astros. I think Manfred is losing it, basically.
  21. Bellhorn04
    IMO the problem with the last CBA was the steeply accelerated tax rates and other penalties targeting the bigger spenders. If the rates and penalties didn't jump so drastically, re-setting would not be such a big thing.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Bloom keeps things pretty quiet. And still a month to opening day.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Bloom's got $16 mill to play with, Nick.
  24. Bellhorn04
    It's a nice sound bite, but I'd like to hear what his actual proposals for change are. 'We really need to look at our CBA' doesn't say much, except... Maybe you should have looked at it before you signed it?
  25. Bellhorn04
    Their SP certainly wasn't their strength last year.
