OT: Pirates Talk: That Skenes guy is okay at teh baseball

[ChaosAgent]

From a signalling perspective, doing this over $200k is terrible. It speaks to how penny pinching Bob is

 

[Pens1566]

I mean, it's a terrible look ... from an optics point of view. Not that the Pirates have ever given a shit about how they look ...

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

That list of incentives is hilarious.

Lol. Now we DFA these two bums?!?? Lol

It's gotta be to allow them to sign with a playoff team, right?

No it's exclusively so they don't have to pay that $200k bonus to Tellez. They can't even be picked up and put on a playoff roster this late in the year.

That sounds like someone who was caught doing something shitty and is now lying about it.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Omfg. I dont even want to be a fan.

Is Rowdy able to sign with another team?

Yes, he just wouldn't qualify for said team's post season roster if said team is in the post season.

In terms of the plate appearance bonus, I think the signing team would have to pay it.
