The increases to the limits are pretty small - especially in view of the inflationary trend. But they're reasonable. The increases in the tax rates are kind of bizarre. It's almost like they're trying to put the clamps on the Dodgers...
-
With what's going on with NFL owners (like Miami's and Washington's) I am just about ready to join the club that thinks most sports team owners are complete jackasses. But I do not include Henry in that group, because to me he has treated Red Sox fans pretty well from Day One.
-
The increases in tax rates being asked for by the owners are crazy. Going from 20/30/50 to 50/75/100 - are you kidding me? To me that's a telltale sign this is not going to be settled any time soon.
-
Having read this latest "proposal" by the owners, it's pretty clear they are playing big-time hardball, and this season is very much in trouble.
-
The owners don't need money, but they do like it quite a bit, apparently. Otherwise they wouldn't be fighting so hard for some of these spending disincentives.

MLB proposed luxury tax thresholds: 214 mill 214 216 218 222 But MLB is proposing MONSTER increases in the tax rates. From 20/30/50 To 50/75/100 !!! Plus losses of draft picks. You can lose your first-round pick for going over a third time. Yikes.
-
Another "death of despair". All too common.
-
But if the reports are true, Lester was treating the Sox very much as a contender for his services. He even took the step of informing the Giants it was down to the Sox and the Cubs. Theo had to pay a pretty hefty premium to close the deal.
-
You're right, I beat dead horses too.
-
Not sure what this means.
-
Well, Theo kind of made sure of it by beating the Sox offer by $20 million...
-
Total speculation based on nothing. What's not speculation is that Mookie stated himself that he came very close to accepting an earlier extension offer (which was reported as $200 million for 8 years).
-
That horse is dead.
-
Pure speculation based on nothing. We already know that Mookie came close to accepting a previous offer for a lower amount, so there's nothing to suggest the Sox weren't bargaining in good faith.
-
That's just speculation. If it's true that he countered with $420M, maybe that was the real problem.
-
??? We did offer Betts $300M.
-
Devers.
-
Sale makes over $20. Devers would make it two. A team as rich as the Red Sox can afford 2 or 3 guys at $20 mill or more, I'd say. And that's it.
-
Yeah, when the highest paid pitcher in the game and certified sticky stuff user says that, it really makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
-
Unless one of the quarters is a collector's item.
-
The fact is that they won't keep both Bogey and Devers.
-
That's negative commentary on both the player and the park!
-
Beni really fattened his WAR at the end of the year. Arguably in 'garbage time'. His OPS was .689 on Sept. 3, 1.048 the rest of the way.
-
Baseball America's ranking is obviously the correct one. Keith Law can take a hike.
-
That's an odd example, since it has nothing to do with building the farm.
