  1. In my opinion, the biggest gripe Red Sox fans have about ownership right now isn't greed. It's incompetence. It's okay to make money when you're providing a good product.
  2. As we've discussed before, it seems to become a matter of ego more than anything. Plus the Players Association encourages players to get as much money as possible.
  3. I think those really long term deals look smart now but a time will come they won't look nearly as smart. It's a buy-now-pay-later mentality.
  4. What does your finish have to do with IFA additions? (I don't know the rules.)
  5. Letting players like Betts and Bogaerts go isn't so much because of the budget, it's because of the risk of getting stuck with albatross contracts.
  6. No, even the Raiders have to draw the line somewhere...
  7. Wendle is projected to make $7 million in his final year of arbitration this year.
  8. We'd all prefer Andrus at short and Story at second, but Chaim never listens to us. I wonder how much Andrus is looking for.
  9. But it has to be approved by the league, right?
  10. It's the truth. Devers has youth on his side, but in terms of actual productivity, Betts has virtually doubled him.
  11. Under what circumstances can an acquiring team be given a window like that?
  12. There is one indisputable good reason not to pay luxury tax every year, though - some of the penalties are losses of draft picks and international pool money, so it's not just costing money but prospects.
  13. They've allowed 13/14 year contracts to Stanton, Harper, Tatis Jr.
  14. All Mets Dollars have to be multiplied by 1.9 now.
  15. We didn't unload all of the $60 mill, of course. We were still on the hook for $16 mill of Price's salary. So the net increase in AAV would have been $44 mill. Talent-wise we'd have Betts instead of Verdugo.
  16. Put it this way: he's well aware there are a lot of Looney Tunes like us in Red Sox Nation.
  17. Personally, I don't have time to get everyone's opinion. Plus I think you get a pretty good range of opinions here.
  18. The Dodgers are cutting payroll this year, though. They let go of T Turner, J Turner, and Bellinger.
  19. I predict we start seeing some articles being penned about how this could be bad for the game.
  20. Richest guy wins might seem like fun for a year or two, but will lose its charm soon enough. Especially because Henry ain't the richest guy.
  21. It's certainly a head-scratcher they haven't added a starting pitcher yet.
  22. I think it's check one box, then spend 100,000 words stating why, making sure to repeat the same points insatiably.
  23. Richest guy wins!
  24. According to Forbes, the Mets gross revenue for 2021 was $302 million. https://www.forbes.com/mlb-valuations/list/#tab:overall So it depends where you get the numbers from.
