So says ESPN.

Saeg hwaet??

Just don't fall into the trap of over-paying MVP and Cy Young candidates, when you could be over-paying journeymen or those with off-field issues for a lot less.
-
Oh, nothing much. Championships. Winning culture. Superstars. Daily sell-outs. Things like that. (Although as I noted before, none of that is as important to athletes as the money; so maybe being a crappy team doesn't matter!)
-
He's teh brother of that racist p.o.s. who plays (or did play?) for the Astros?
-
I'm not saaying there aren't other crappy organizations w/ nothing to offer besides money. I'm just saying the RS, incredibly, have become one of them.
-
Don't the RS have to do more than 'match' other offers? Since the way they have treated players and their usual cellar finishes don't really offer any incentive other than money. (It wasn't this waay as little as 5 years ago).
-
No gee, I didn't realize that at all! A company? No way! I thought sports owners were all individuals. I would NEVER use the name of an owner as a synecdoche for the team. And hey, did you know that the elipses at the end of your statement are ambiguous?????
-
No. Because the RS could afford Mookie. It's just that JH's wallet was more important.
-
As Charles Barkley said: "Athletes care about three things: money, minutes, and winning. ... In that order."
-
or "Meet the new boss ..."

I truly hope you're right, but he hasn't acted yet as if he's onto the second part.
-
Breslow acts as if his sole purpose were to rehabilitate the reputation of Bloom.
-
Are you the internet police? You don't like posts, then don't read them. You don't like certain posters, block them. No one comes here to be lectured on moral proprieties.
-
Well, you should be happy then. This is why we don't have Betts, or Bogaerts, or (going back) Lester. And because the RS are so firm in this theory which they share with you, that too explains the many last-place finishes.
-
Yup!
-
Ah, didn't notice. In this whirlwind of an off-season, all these new guys coming in, great FAs, brilliant prospects, it's hard to keep up!
-
Better start clearing a space in that trophy case! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39106491/red-sox-sign-long-reliever-cooper-criswell-one-year-deal Cooper FREAKING Criswell!!!! It's on, baby!
-
Who needs Ohtani?? We got our guy!
-
Say what?
-
I don't understand why thy would. They still charge the lux tax more or less averaged over the years of th contract, right?(since teams are not allowed to front-load or back-load contracts to manipulate lux tax computation). Why would the league care?
-
Yeah, the best employees tend to want to work for the highest paying and best-run organizations. Sad really. And completely unfair!!!!
-
i believe ALL players who 'play in California' are subject to tax, even players of other teams.
-
Exactly!
-
So how's that "we're-looking-for-value-and-not-signing-high-priced-FAs-or-homegrown-talent" theory working out?
