The money some clubs are spending is crazy level $$. Something in the last year changed and it not just the CBA.

The league is about to more stratified than it's ever been. And that's not good.

That contract seems pretty dumb if he performs like the recent past

And not that brilliant if he's somewhat close to previous highs.

Why bother?

Wonder how much this affected Judge's HR record season…

What a racket

Why can't everything be the same?

Full thread, MLB tried desperately to save the Yankees season:

Bellinger almost got his $20mm

But GD that's ridiculous for a guy who can't hit the broad side of a barn.

I just don't get it. He's a reclamation project. A buy low guy.

That ain't low!

I mean, it's probably low for a former MVP if you think you can get him back to that level.

If any club can afford it, it's the cubs.

From the article, an active attempt to cover-up:
Quote:
While we accumulated 204 baseballs from 22 big league parks in 2022 more than Wills has obtained in any of her previous studies MLB also made sure it wasn't easy. One player told Insider that one of Manfred's top lieutenants warned a players' union official not to let players send any balls to Wills for "third-party testing" and warned that the league could fire any non-union team employees who helped her research. Nonetheless, we amassed baseballs from sources around the league, and supplemented our sample by purchasing balls caught by fans and from licensed vendors at ballparks.

That's ridiculous but at the end of the day nothing will come of it.

It'll get swept under the rug and no media outlet will touch it.

This will be the last we hear of it.

Wink wink nudge nudge
Quote:
The Yankees may be one of the few teams that did not meet with Manfred, according to pitcher and team union rep Jameson Taillon, who was still waiting for a meeting with the commissioner as late as October 2, the last Yankees home game of the regular season. Though he never got to speak with Manfred alongside his Yankees teammates, Taillon did recall one league official approaching him in the locker room during the second half of the season to see if the veteran pitcher had noticed "anything different about the baseballs" lately.

Wait. So Judge couldn't hit a juiced ball out at MM???

I. Can't. Stop. Laughing.

On a serious note I want a gambling group like Caesar's or Draft Kings to sue MLB for creating an artificial imbalance and knowingly alter the game outcomes.

This and similar meddling from MLB is why I laugh when people cry about gambling losses when it comes to the Astros.

There'd be some juicy discovery battles to get MLB to turn over their info and likely spoliation of evidence.

Why bother?
Not that I think he will get close, but previous highs was MVP & CF GG. So I'd say that would look pretty brilliant on their part.

Just for perspective, 1 WAR on the free agent market usually costs about $9 million.

In a year where they won't make the playoffs?

I think you'd want some additional team options if you're shelling out that much for a glorified reclamation project

Who are we looking to sign that's a Boras a client?
Rodon? Bellinger? Conforto? Gallo?


He's got Nimmo too... but we know we had discussions with him about Conforto this year

Any thoughts on going after Yoshida? Bats left, throws right. Career OPS in Japan of .957.
