  1. The time frame of the opt-out(s) is pretty important here, no? Guaranteeing a guy 13 years and 600 million and giving him an opt-out after 1-3 years? I don't think any team would agree to that...well, except maybe the Jays because they really have no other good cards to play.
  2. OK, my wild ass guess, which I expect is also a fairly common one, is they go about 20 mill over the first tax threshold.
  3. Boras and his clients seemed to get burnt to a crisp by his waiting tactics last offseason. Of course none of them were Juan Soto. It looks to me like Soto and his team are getting down to business very methodically here, and I think he'll sign by Christmas. I think they understand that everyone is waiting on them and that there are certain obligations to the game itself.
  4. The "we're back!" vibe has improved my mood for the time being, but we shall see what we shall see.
  5. Yeah, we'll have to wait and see (says Cap'n Obvious), but it'll be interesting to see if the winning contract for Soto has much in the way of bells and whistles. Cole's contract had just the one opt-out after 5 years I believe.
  6. How does this relate to Snell?
  7. Maddie is probably going to be a little surprised next time she checks the status of her article/thread. 😁
  8. If we didn't win the Series in '18 with Price contributing, I too would deem it a disaster. But we did.
  9. Blake the Snake, man. Of course I'd love to have him. But only on the "right deal". (LOL LOL)
  10. I'm actually feeling optimistic now, because why not? It makes no difference how I feel anyway.
  11. They should only trade from the places we have a legit surplus. Which we do have in the outfield and middle infield.
  12. We're in on everything! 😀
  13. There are also times the opt outs reward performing players, like Xander. The players can't lose either way.
  14. Campbell may have been pitching hurt. Who knows? It was 6.2 innings. He pitched pretty well in his 28.2 inning sample in 2023. I thought it was a good trade by Breslow.
  15. Seager's not at the same level as Soto, I agree. I just thought you were dissing him a bit too strongly, that's all.
  16. The Mookie story could be around as long as the Babe Ruth story. Mookie has 2 rings since we traded him and we have 0. It's not going away.
  17. JH explained in detail to Red Sox fans the history and the reasoning behind why they traded him. He brought stories about Stan Musial into it. Still not enough to convince you he was directly and prominently involved in the decision?
  18. And he's going to be paid enough to feed some small countries for a generation. 😁
  19. No idea what you're talking about with that last sentence, frankly. Please read the series of posts again. My only point was that Seager has been close to Soto in terms of performance. I really didn't know notin was including health histories in his comment.
  20. Your comment about Seager suggested he didn't even belong in a conversation with Soto. Now you're pivoting to their health histories. OK.
  21. That's great, but we have 4+ months to fill with our jabbering before games start again. 😄
  22. He explained in great detail the reasons Mookie was not extended and why he was traded. No one could read that and deduce that the trade was something Bloom did on his own.
