  1. It did quickly enter my head.
  2. No doubt. Anyway, I can see knocking the Rangers for overpaying, but if I was a Rangers fan I wouldn't be complaining about major efforts to make the team relevant. Not to mention coming up with that much money...
  3. Not sure if serious.
  4. If we confine it to trading JD, I might agree. Reportedly Bloom did shop JD, but did not get any offers he liked. Also reported he was asking for a lot.
  5. You think something has changed?
  6. Can we make it two in a row on Bloom signing guys we're asking for? Seems like a tall order...
  7. Let's see how it goes this year, though, after adding deGrom and Eovaldi. It makes them a more palatable team to watch, at least. And should boost their gross revenues.
  8. Nope, not happening. I know you're not a betting man, though.
  9. He's also in the band Sloan, who are from here in Halifax.
  10. The Yankees were over in 2022. They would have to reset in 2024.
  11. Well, the Rangers are adding some pretty good players. They're just wicked expensive.
  12. The Mets can't reset, and I predict the Yankees do not reset. They are over by $56 million this year. It'll be virtually impossible to get back under.
  13. Wacha will get less than Kluber.
  14. That was announced a while ago. MLBTR seems to have 3 separate announcements for each signing now.
  15. Wacha also had a 5.57 ERA in September with a .941 OPS and 8 dingers allowed in 32.1 innings. It appears he either ran out of gas or his luck started to go the other way.
  16. So can losing money. If you're going to argue that Henry's spending might be affected by the $8 million buyout to JBJ, you can't ignore the effect of attendance and viewership. If it wasn't for the fans, payrolls could have been a lot lower over the years and we might have fewer titles.
  17. I think there's a good chance he will. His peripherals were better than Wacha's and he also pitched more innings.
  18. Well, I do think the fans are taken into account, and I think they should be taken into account. If the team isn't worth watching the last two months of the season that's not good for business. The fans pay for it all. Higher revenues mean more money to pay players. We all know the reason the playoffs keep expanding is to increase fan interest and revenue.
  19. No, we haven't heard conflicting reports about the 6/160 AT THE TIME thing with Xander. The reports have been very consistent.
  20. I didn't think we had any chance last July, no. But I can understand why the Sox FO didn't want to bail when they were only 3 games out of a Wild Card spot and had some guys coming back. Sometimes things go from hopeless to hopeful in a hurry...and vice versa.
  21. Simple facts: The Phillies came very close to missing the playoffs in 2022. Made it to 6th game of WS. The Red Sox came even closer to missing the playoffs in 2021. Made it to 6th game of ALCS.
  22. It's one of the craziest free agent deals ever, no question.
  23. Safer bets have never been made.
  24. Or, Paxton starts the year on the Phantom IL and is ready when needed.
