Why spend all that money on Dbag Machado when Arenado’s going to hit the open market next offseason?
True story.

The Orioles had the best record of all AL teams from 2012-2016 but sure, I guess they "sucked" since they didn't get to the World Series.
Gotta love Red Sox fans laughing at a big free agent signing and saying they never work out when you got JD Martinez and Manny Ramirez who both got 9 figures from Boston and helped them win 3 World Series.
But all those stories from last week about baseball owners potentially colluding don't make any sense now....lol
If they can sign Betts for that, I'm all in baby.at this rate, Dr Creepy may as well go lock up Betts at 10/300 now and save some future bucks
I guess it is a bit refreshing that other teams are at least attempting to buy a title like the Sox and Yankees do
There's nothing wrong with buying a title. As long as there's no hard salary cap, if an owner wants to go all in to win, they should. Would you rather see teams like Tampa getting the revenue sharing dollars and not investing it in their team?
I would have bet Machado would get a 300 million dollar contract, but over 8 years.
I think there's definitely some soft collusion going on.
Over/Under on walks for Kershaw this season?
What a putz.

Mookie is as good as gone. Another Ellsbury. If $300 isn’t enough, see ya. There is going to be s correction soon. No way can we see $400 million.Machado is overrated. Good player, but I wouldn't have lost slept over the Yanks signing him. Now they will get Arenado next year. Harper? Great talent, but also very much overrated. What makes him (more) enticing than stars like Machado is his brand. More attention around the baseball universe and so on. He's gonna get 10/350m.
Let's have fun and offer Mookie the contract Machado got. Will be fun for a second, he's gonna reject and will go to free agency, damn.
I think at this point in his career Kimbrel has earned a multi year deal. I mean Addison Reed got a better contract the kimbrel is going to get- I wouldn’t call that greed necessarily
He’s just getting ****ed by the owners attempt to fix the market. Only people greedy here are the owners, they had record breaking revenue come in last year. Why should they make more money on the backs of these players while paying them less than they have in the past?

I love living in a world where an ERA+ of 160 is an adventure
He wasn’t completely dominant. Still decidedly elite
Even with the sketchy small sample size in the playoffs he didn’t blow anything
Again, last offseason Addison Reed got a bigger contract than Craig will probably get for multiple years. The owners are being greedy and seeing how far they can take it. There will be a lockout imo
I would honestly think about taking half of the year off if I was kimbrel. Rest the arm, chill with the baby who has been through some ****. Sign with a contender close to the deadline
For a closer it is. His career ERA+ is 211 and has years of 399, 311 and 319.
Most closers in their best seasons have an ERA+ above 300
