Crazy that ARod's deal with Texas is now only the 16th highest.

 

[seattlefan75]

not true but locking for 10 or more yrs is dumb in any sport

In an article by the RAM Financial Group, a large financial services group that caters to professional athletes, their website states the average span of professional athletes are:

• NFL: 3.5 years
• NBA: 4.8 years
• MLB: 5.6 years
• NHL: 5.5 years

I will say this and of course this is all a gamble but I do like what my Mariners did and this may trend to other teams moving forward. Us signing Julio Rodriguez to a 12 year deal after his rookie season was an awesome move by our GM. Now we can avoid arbitration or the pressure of trying to sign him the extension when he is around the corner from free agency. giving a 22 year old a 12 year deal I am ok with but a 31 year old is crazy to me.

its the wave of the future with lots of teams starting to do this but it can bite u just like any long term contract

He certainly lived up to that one.

He certainly lived up to that one.

With some help of the intravenous variety

Was that the last one he signed or did he add more years after he got to the Yankees?

He opted out in the middle of the 2007 world series

Cashman, who said he wouldn't negotiate with him if he opted out, signed him to a new contract.

Interesting....

Agent Scott Boras calls out 'coup' within union as MLB Players' Association divide grows

A faction has rallied behind MLBPA official Harry Marino, aiming to elevate him into a position of power at the expense of Bruce Meyer.

www.usatoday.com

“The players who sought me out want a union that represents the will of the majority,” Harry Marino said Tuesday. “Scott Boras is rich because he makes — or used to make — the richest players in the game richer. That he is running to the defense of Tony Clark and Bruce Meyer is genuinely alarming.”

So is Scott Boras going to be the reason the MLBPA implodes? Not actually implode but give in to a salary cap.

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Diamondbacks and free agent left-hander Jordan Montgomery have reached an agreement on a contract.
The deal is pending a physical. Jon Heyman of the New York Post adds that it’ll be a $25 million deal, plus a $25 million vesting option for 2025 if he starts at least 10 games during the 2024 season

Seems like a good fit. They're a pretty young team so I think they have a lot of cheap guys. Getting a good established starter on a 1 or 2 year deal is a smart move IMO.

I’m not sure we see a cap

Owners would have to spend more money than they are now if they had a salary cap model like the nfl and nba

Trying to figure out how the orioles didn’t do this

Yeah coming of winning the division with a low payroll you'd think they'd want to load up for this year.

That’s not really completely true though. A salary cap hurts the bigger market teams. A salary cap would turn the league into a legit revenue sharing league. Would the smaller market teams have to spend more on payroll, for sure but a salary cap is almost always based off of revenue

Under an nfl/nba style agreement The current first cbt line would’ve been 300m

Which means the floor of 90% would’ve been like 240m

Most of the league ain’t close that already,
Not do they want to be

That’s why I don’t see it

In baseball it would be 300m? How do you figure that. Not saying your wrong I just haven’t seen any figure of a proposed salary cap is anything more than 200m and with revenue sharing that is easy for mid and small market teams to get to 150. There can’t be a 90% floor just based on how the sport works. One of the most exciting times in the sport is the trade deadline and a 90% floor would kill that.

It was posted a while back

Based on total baseball revenue

I think it was for last year cause it was talked about with the new cba

It should’ve been 300m last year
