What's crazy is 40% of this video is just his playoff highlights and it wasn't like they only showed his homers in the regular season, they showed plenty of other hits and great plays in the field.

If we kick ass the next three years the windfall profits might just convince Crane to open his pocketbooks a little futher.

I know I'm crazy but I just watched 20 min of Philly postgame from game 3 of the WS. They ripped us. The KNEW a title was coming to Philly. Called us the Buffalo Bills. Hyped their fans over and over. I might have find game 4-5-6 now.

If either stay I lean Tucker. I think Crane would be more willing to pay the younger guy all those years vs Breggy who is hitting FA late in his career due to the early extension.

I had a feeling Philly blew its wad in Game 3 and that they'd get overconfident. Then Houston's pitchers did their thing and choked them out by allowing only 3 runs in the next 3 games.

Funny how all those talking heads discounted Houston's experience so quickly rather than expecting us to forget about that one immediately.

I think of Tucker like I did Carlos...The writing is on the wall that he's gonna leave. He just has mind set on hitting free agency.

Just sit back and enjoy the last few years we have. Maybe we sign him as a FA but an extension before then just isn't in the cards.

I think Bregs has more ties here and that will play into it. I know it comes down to money but it also comes down to the players and their family.

I think the more likely scenario is the Mets being underhanded, which has been the read I've gotten on the whole situation. Cohen knew he could take all the leverage away from Carlos by quickly agreeing with Carlos to whatever Carlos wanted and then using the medicals as an excuse to set the narrative that Carlos had a bum ankle. Cohen wanted Carlos on the cheap. He knew setting the narrative around long term health concerns by confirming what the Giants had already said screwed Carlos as no team would then be willing to pay for a long $300M plus deal after that.
I know Carlos was just trying to get paid and play in NYC, but I'm not surprised by Cohen's tactics. Hedge fund manager slime ball.

Such ****s, the lot of them. Did they also say "nobody comes into the bank and wins. They have no idea what it's like to play in the bank!!!"

The Phillies definitely skyrocketed up my hate list after the WS.

Go to 14:08 and the dude with the gf and the fake cans and how dejected he looked after the ball left the bat. I remember later that game they were no longer there (I was seeking them out for "research"...and by "them" I mean the cans).

My theory, dude used his gf and said cans to get past the usher to those premium seats and finally were escorted out when the actual ticket holders arrived. That or he's that big a d-bag to leave an ALCS early with $2000/seat tickets (maybe higher).

Bregman should be attainable still. He will be 31 when he hits FA and if he keeps at his current regular season pace we can get him for about what he's making now per year

That doesn't exactly instill confidence that an extension will be reached if they are that far apart with debating over the MLB equivalent of chicken feed.
Maybe they are trying to get him at his projected value to make the extension look that much more appealing. Unfortunately he is worth more than the Crane is willing to pay and Crane may have folded his hand and decided to keep Tucker as cheap as he can to have more cash to extend some pitchers.

If camp Tucker is stonewalling, I wouldn't doubt Crane isn't willing to return the favor. Not saying I agree with it, but Crane has gotten what he has wanted most of his life and to get stiffed by a player may be a thought pill to swallow.

C'mon dude. This isn't it at all.

Crane is an extremely successful businessman and team owner. He knows it's all business and doubt he takes anything personally.

Not to mention he didn't inherit his business but built it up himself.

Hey Marvin, not sure if you saw my follow up post the other day, but if you do have a medium, orange Springer jersey you're willing to sell I would be very interested in buying it.

I had a bad premonition of Tucker as a Yankee. He'd hit 45 home runs at Yankee Stadium

Offering Tuck $5M is an insult. They should have matched his $7.5M deal and offered to work on a long term extension during the offseason.
