Pittsburgh signed Darell Morel for $1,778,600 and Johan De Los Santos for 2.25M. Fangraphs had De Los Santos as FV40+ and Morel as FV40.
 
It's annoying how dragged out the Saski thing was when it was painfully obvious he was going to the Dodgers.

Just another example of how fundamentally broken baseball is.
 
Not the Yankees before the luxury tax?

I don't think Sasaki to the Dodgers was a foregone conclusion. As good as the Dodgers are at maximizing pitchers, their pitchers are pretty fragile. Mariners would have been an interesting choice because they have some pitching coaching mojo going right now.

I think it has shown that the Dodgers are now the default team in our league, like a Real Madrid in Spain, Man City in England, Paris St. Germain or Bayern Munich.

It's a little antithetical to how we do sports in the US. But baseball is different, and Los Angeles does have systemic advantages (weather, pretty women, diverse population, access to direct flights to home countries) that other places don't have. The only downside are the taxes.

no the yankees were always so rich and stupid while the dodgers are so rich and smart
 
Yeah, I'm done with this league officially. It's into the NBA realm now, which is a league I haven't watched consistently in well over a decade. The NFL will be next up if I had to guess.
 
Blue Jays swung a trade for more international money so their pool is a little more than 8M now.
