Oof. They will have $105MM tied up in Trout, Ohtani and Rendon. Guess which one will make the most?

30 M is top 10? That doesn't sound accurate.


It's not. 2023 salaries

1. Scherzer $43.33MM
2. Rendon $38.6MM
3. Trout $37.1MM
4. Cole $36MM
5. Seager $35.5 MM
6. Bauer $35.3MM if he gets paid and he is suing for it.
7. Correa $35.1MM
8. Arenado $35 MM
strasburg $35MM
10. Lindor $34.1MM

Ohtani will be 16th.

And that doesn't count Judge who will get a billion.

Yep. A lot of cash tied up in a broken player.

What's their thought process here? Give Ohtani a bunch of money this year so he's not pissed off and might sign a long term contract later?

Just another Saturday in the fall where I'm extremely thankful for the Astros.

The same Astros that could only manage to "back into" being by far the best team in the AL?

Might be all BS but this seems somewhat sensible:
Quote:
Normally, a deal to avoid arbitration would be handled in January, while the two sides were negotiating a bigger extension for beyond this season. But because a true extension has become increasingly unlikely with the Angels, they did it today. Now, the Angels can head into the offseason with some additional cost certainty on the payroll side of operations as they approach a sale of the team. Also, they are securing some cost certainty on the Ohtani-specific side of the ledger, as they contemplate a trade.

His case was always going to be expensive, but it was also going to be extremely complicated. And that would have left (trade) buyers with next to no understanding of how much they'd be on the hook for right off the bat. This makes that a whole lot simpler.

Would they even trade him before January? Unless they think arbitration would have given him more than 30 million, I don't understand the urgency.

Maybe convincing themselves it's a Hail Mary that could keep him from leaving, if they showed him the love now.

As I said, the whole explanation in the linked article might be BS. As for how arbitration, how do you predict how it will go with a two way player that is a two way all-star.

Aggie football. Nothing if not predictable. You pay a coach a big load of cash and watch him burn.

The stress of days like this ended a long time ago for me. Used to let it ruin a whole weekend.

If I was a betting man, I'd put money on that not happening.
