this would be the biggest series of the year if it was a 4 game sweep...and even more important in the midst of the gauntlet part of the season. Excited about Robert batting 2nd. him seeing more fastballs...?
that is fair. but that doesn't make it smart. Eatons of the world should be getting a vet minimum like the NBA. the good money should be going to the young and improving/peak entering players...and eliminating 2 years of arbitration would do that.
Do they plan on restructuring the arbitration process? IF they don't there are going to be so many mediocre players getting equivalents to the NBAs mid level exception and that will absolutely give 4th outfielders/utility infielders and non closing relievers even sillier salaries then they get now. People didn't like Eaton getting 8mil this year...oh boy...wait for what is in store. All good though...because screw the owners. Honestly the floor should be 115 and the cap 225 and the last two years of arbitration should be abolished.
