  1. Just to clarify, his actual 2021 salary is $6.6Mil, but the tax hit is $5Mil. It was 2 years for $10Mil, his 2020 salary was $3.4Mil.
  2. Right. But trading Beni for a prospect wouldn't even be an upgrade for this year's team-actually a downgrade in all probability.
  3. It would be shocking if Bloom does nothing before the season but make minor moves like we've seen so far.
  4. It's all fuzzy rumors...but it's all we got right now.
  5. What happened to 'only a tiny % of free agents have signed'?
  6. It certainly sounds like Bloom has multiple offers to consider.
  7. Alex Speier reports that one of the teams interested in Beni has discussed trading 'big league pitching depth' for him.
  8. Yeah, I have heard that some guys do this. They make sure the charge shows up on the credit card as something totally innocuous, so their wives don't know what they're up to.
  9. I know. That was a rare technical error on your part.
  10. Maybe what happened was, Ben and Larry struck a deal that each one of them got to make one $90 million signing. And to make it even more fun, they didn't tell each other who it was until the day of the announcement.
  11. I have never believed that Sandoval was signed strictly because of his postseason numbers. IIRC, the Giants made an offer to Pablo that was equal to or close to the Red Sox offer. If they had only signed he or Hanley, it would have been forgivable. Signing both was just asking for it. They were both kind of mercurial performers at that point.
  12. We know he bulked up between 18 and 19, supposedly looking to add power. It slowed down his foot speed radically. Appears it messed him up in other ways too.
  13. I wasn't saying it was better, just defending it.
  14. I like saying Recency Effect, personally.
  15. Not those misers.
  16. The Recency Effect has cost teams a lot of money, in other words.
  17. I think it's standard procedure in these cases. What else would you propose?
  18. Fighting words. Excellent!
  19. Seems to be intensifying. I'm sure Bloom won't sell too low on him. The teams that are interested know he has upside.
  20. You fellas appear to have even more free time than me.
  21. (Attempted notin impression) So just a listing of best players, then...
  22. In my books, it would be Xander except for one thing: that damn opt-out hanging over our heads.
  23. Velocity has to be a big part of it. Spin rate too, I suppose. (Also maybe zooming in on his face for any signs of discomfort...)
  24. It's all just for funsies anyway.
