    As I said, Speier pointed out that there are other penalties in withheld revenue-sharing money. All money.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Those penalties are negligible. Your Budgie license is hereby revoked.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Huh? If the luxury tax payments are the smallest part of it, what's the big deal about re-setting?
  4. Bellhorn04
    I think a lot of it has to do with the lux tax structure and the fact that Year 3 is deadly. Alex Speier also pointed out that there are other penalties in withheld revenue-sharing money for teams who go over the threshold 3 years in a row.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I'm referring more to the entertainment here on the forum.
  6. Bellhorn04
    One thing that gets overlooked a bit about trading Mookie is that it will actually save the team $40 million or so, including the tax, assuming that if we kept Mookie we'd be over the limit by about $20-25 million.
  7. Bellhorn04
    I want the Clay man too. Though I admit a lot of it is for entertainment purposes.
  8. Bellhorn04
    One of your better humor efforts.

    Al Hartz drives the truck and has for a long time. Just found that out this morning.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yep. He'll be back in NE.
  11. Bellhorn04
    LOL. And I promise I will never again disparage the team doctors.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Hey Lawrence, remember when you said this?
  13. Bellhorn04
    You are too much, Lawrence.
  14. Bellhorn04
    That's the $400 million question.
  15. Bellhorn04
    I'll say this, if it comes to Mookie being a free agent and we're in on it, as a fan I'll certainly be hoping we have the highest bid.
  16. Bellhorn04
    But you probably won't like the $35 million AAV for those last 6 years so much, when those years inevitably arrive.

    Peter Gammons @pgammo Three different NL folks today predicted Betts-to-L.A. is "inevitable." Consensus deal:Alex Verdugo, Inf Jeter Downs, pitcher, maybe A prospect. Think P is LH Caleb Ferguson, 95 MPH FB/CB guy, 113-39 K-BB in 93.1 IP, eventual starter.
  18. Bellhorn04
    That's a whole other debate.
  19. Bellhorn04
    So what you're really saying is that the people who run the teams are stupid, and that an opt-out might save the team from its own stupidity through sheer luck.
  20. Bellhorn04
    It's the old prizefighter syndrome. They don't quit till it's too late. Why? Because combat is their life.
  21. Bellhorn04
    And in the case that the player could get more money on the open market, you'd be better off having him because you'd be able to trade him. Thus it's a fallacy that the player opting out benefits you.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Well, I agree with 700hitter (I think) - all things equal, opt outs are not a plus for the team.
  23. Bellhorn04
    700hitter's point comes into effect if the guy has a strong year before the opt-out decision. Then you would be hoping for him to opt in, because in theory he'd be tradeable for at least as much as what was left on his contract.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I didn't say that. mvp said we were similar to 2018.
  25. Bellhorn04
    They're trying to trade Price too, of course.
