Let's call it what it really is - tanking.
-
The $2.5 million figure is the correct figure. The $300 K is full of crap. I worked it out myself. To pay $11,951,091 in tax we needed to be over by $42,481,746. $20,000,000 * 20% = $4,000,000 $20,000,000 * 32% = $6,400,000 $2,481,746 * 62.5% = $1,551,091

Replacing Joe Kelly's 4.39 ERA is not such a big deal, is it? I thought you were an ERA guy.
-
Do you, or does anyone here, have a link to the final, official calculation of our 2018 payroll for tax purposes?
-
Settle down. As if Chavis was sure to give us the same results as a proven veteran like Pearce.
-
It's only the thought I was referring to, not you.
-
It's in the books, Kimmi. Your second sentence is a nasty and needless thought.
-
But they did win the World Series, so, you know, I think I've seen worse mistakes.
-
2 years pre-arb + 2 years arb makes sense to me.
-
Well, they do have a new manager.
-
Well, hopefully this Harper/Machado shakeout is helpful to us in terms of being able to retain Mookie.
-
The problem with the logic of waiting until the deadline, of course, is that it's 2/3 into the season and we're in the same division as the Yankees and it does make a big difference now to win the division.
-
Of course there's a spending limit. Henry said not long ago that there are constraints. He said the constraints are not necessarily dictated by the tax, but by 'how much you're willing to lose'.
-
I'm pretty sure DD does not have carte blanche.
-
Right. The 'Roster Resource' numbers linked by Jacko have another number tossed in for 'estimated other players with non-guaranteed contracts', about 3.75 million. No idea exactly what it represents.
-
You might say he has to 're-establish' after not pitching for 3 years.
-
It sure gives up something to yack about the next month and a half.
-
The deal kept Stanton around for a couple of years at a relatively cheap price before the sale took place. I thought it was actually kind of smart, in a sleazy way.
-
Why so?
-
Well, Jeff Loria's real plan was to sell the team and leave the Stanton issue for someone else.
-
That's 100% correct. But this is the nature of thresholds and marginal tax rates. What is the incremental cost of the next addition?
-
In the dark part of my mind I can't help thinking there's a panic option built in here somewhere too.
-
And now he's got Brian Bannister, who seems to be gaining a reputation as quite the pitching guru, to go to work on these reclamation projects.
-
The question is whether that decline in attendance is offset by the money pumped in by all the stay-at-home fans watching on their team's network, Extra Innings and MLB.TV.
-
Maybe the success with Brasier convinced them they could turn sow's ears into silk purses.
