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.
-
And that certainly does happen with some teams.
-
It'd be a lot of work, but I have no doubt there would be a significant correlation. Can you think of any way it would HURT to have a strong farm?
