Too bad baseball is losing money!

My eyes are toast.

Show me where I said you made it up? There's no use having a discussion with you. Bye

It's not easy, and you can sign the best of the best available, and still miss badly.
-
I'm done with you. It's not a fantasy to think we could have signed ERod, Jon Gray and Iggy. Or Trade for Montas & Trivino and sign Iggy If we can sign Baez and Wacha, we can do close to what I wanted.

The uniform? If Eminem wore a uniform, they'd complain?

The thing is, his "guesses" are almost always negative in nature.

Could be. If so, I'll still be eternally grateful to him for bringing me something I worried I'd never see. The guy is super rich. He has enough to spend big again on the Sox and do other things. Whether he does it or not is an open question. I'm not sure he will, but you seem awful sure he won't. Then, you act like it's Bloom's fault he's not allowed to spend- like he just needs to convince Henry to open the checkbook. While I have mentioned some "pie in the sky" suggestions, I usually say it's a dream on not likely reality. I am encouraged by rumors we are a finalist for Baez. If that rumor is true, it means we have a few tens of millions to spend, this winter. If it ends up being untrue, I'll still believe the spending will be back in 2023 or 2024. As it is, we'll still be a top 5-7 spending team in MLB i n 2021.

Yes, like concerts, too. Are you upset that gas prices are going up while industry owners pocket billions? What are you? Some kinda commie? (Sarcasm alert)
-
Indeed, and all the money floating around in the hands of just a select few in the world. What gets me, is how some seem to get real upset when an average Joe, who knows how to pitch, can make $130M, but pay little attention to the hundreds of billions others make- sometimes doing very little actual work.

Mariners to sign Robbie Ray. Rangers going hard after Corey Seager. Seager may choose, today.

They'll have to settle on 2nd best for once.

I'm assuming we follow the trend we've seen since Henry became owner. He spends big, re-sets the tax- often staying under for 2-3 years, then spends big again. Along the way, we stay near the tax line, so we're not penny-pinchers as some suggest. I expect the pattern to continue, but maybe the new CBA will change things.
-
I know. They cry poverty over their own spending woes.
-
I think, if there is no agreement made, they may decide to play under the old rules until one is reached. One might feel more secure knowing you have a contract. I did find this, which seems strange... However, players who are rehabbing injuries during the lockout will continue to receive pay and can access team facilities for rehab until the player is medically cleared...

Is Oprah worth what she made? Are actors worth what they make? Musicians? People pay tremendous amounts of money to see these guys. The owners make a ton of money. I just don't get why people get so upset when people make a bunch of money with their talent and not their daddy's checkbook.
-
Amazing. I was thinking $80M/2.
-
It's Bloom's wallet not his "speed."
-
Good word choice. It's hard to figure him out. The numbers don't tell the story, either. For instance, he seems to wilt under pressure, but he has a career .695 OPS Against, but it's .677 Late & Close. He's supposed to be a better 6th, 7th and 8th inning guy than the 9th, but ... .803 in 6th .666 in 7th .692 in 8th .655 in 9th I have less confidence in him now than I had over the last 4 years, but he is comin off his best career year, by the numbers. Of course, those numbers were fed by an amazing start to the season, but still. Best WHIP Seasons: 2021: 1.116 2017: 1.220 2018: 1.265 Best K/BB 2021: 4.20 2018: 3.10 2017: 2.96 It's not even close! Yes, "enigma" says it all!
-
He has a career .695 OPS Against and a .709 OPS Against in Sep/Oct. His August has been his worst month, by far, so you have a point. .578 July .902 August .709 Sep/Oct
-
The one year deal is the biggest difference. Hard to complain.
-
I really wanted Gray. I did not expect him to get that much, but I guess that's what he deserves.
-
So much for Scherzer locked into the Dodgers. Money talks. One of our biggest questions is how much money will Bloom be "talking?" Is he in on this rush to sign before the CBA expires craze? One might think he may find a bargain as someone is desperate to sign by Dec 1st, but these recent signings don't look like bargains.
-
If he looks great in ST'ing, he may open as the closer.
