Like The Curse of Oak Island LOL

It's pretty hard to say how much psychological stuff factors into guys not living up to their contracts. With all that money comes big expectations, and it must be hard on the head when you're not performing like you did, and you know that a lot of people are disappointed in you or even hating on you.

Who the hell knows? The finances of baseball are one of the world's great enigmas.
-
Never once did he actually say so. Which doesn't mean that he didn't. But Mookie is too smart and too classy to say anything like that.
-
Perfectly stated.
-
Texas had income of almost $100 mill. The Mets had a loss of almost $100 mill. Pretty wild disparities.
-
We've been clamoring for the team to spend some money. They did, and it looks like they did so in a pretty smart way. What more can we ask? Of course there's uncertainty, there always is.
-
And of course Suzuki cost $70 million.
-
Moncada was sort of a special case, as he cost us 63 million to sign.
-
It's called optimism. Even Chaim Bloom has it, or he wouldn't have signed Paxton...
-
That seems reasonable.

You mean after 1 more bad game, or right now?
-
Answered your own question.
-
Not quite a match for 5GG's prediction. As you know we are very strict here with rulings.
-
Nifty dig there, Alex. -
Cantstandya!
-
Not trying to be snarky, but can you think of examples of that kind of surprise in recent seasons?
-
Agreed.
-
So where was he on Correa?
-
Apparently a lot of people really like the ghost runner as a permanent fixture.
-
You guys are sick LOL
-
Story probably wanted a bit more than $140 M, too... There are only so many crazy owners.
-
Well, come to think of it, the ill-advised jettisoning of top talent all started with that Ruth guy.
-
And is he really worth 150% as much money as Story or more?
-
You're exactly right, and you can go back even before free agency. Reggie Smith being a prime example.
