lol, Brodie Van Wagenen hooking up all his boys with jobs. This is going to turn out to be really genius or a real big dumpster fire.

My vote is for dumpster fire.

It's the Mets so definitely dumpster fire but at least we have entertaining off-seasons again.

Being greedy at this point but if the Mets could some how move Lagares' money and sign AJ Pollack, they are a legit threat on paper.

1/11

More than I thought he’d get
Yeah, same here. Thought he'd get $6-$9MM, not double digits. I can see him incrementally earning that salary if he can pitch to a 4 ERA or slightly lower somehow in the AL West.

Am I crazy or are arbitration figures this year out of control? Can't remember guys getting pay bumps like this.

I think the big part of the arbitration bumps is that the best players in MLB are younger than they used to be.

No more aging sluggers going on a juice rampage.

The Phillies do that they might become the favorites in the NL. I figure they get Harper plus Kuechel.

The White Sox offer to Machado is for $175 million, over seven years. In some ways, their approach is like Boston's w/ J.D. Martinez last winter -- the Red Sox offered $100 million and waited for two months. If CWS offer emerges as best, a big ? is: Would Machado/NYY re-engage?

Agent probably threw that number out to olney so he could get in the room with more teams

Yeah, I mean if that's the best offer he's got on the table 1) it's shocking 2) there should be 20 teams out there that can beat that.


I do know that all the reporting I've read is that the Yankees have not even made an offer.

The Reds are making a really serious push for third place in the division.
