Baseball is just better when a gang like that can stick around. The CBT needs to be a lot higher, and really the last thing baseball needs is another expansion. If I had supreme executive power that wasn't merely given through some farcical aquatic ceremony, I'd probably go back to 26 teams. Baltimore would be one of them under the microscope. But hey, if they want to sign Correa for no good reason and weaken the Astros, I'll thank them for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit wondering - there's a financial reward in the CBA for teams that grow their market, they're able to keep more of the locally generated money that would originally have gone to revenue sharing. I don't know the numbers, but if a local market is sending $100 million to revenue sharing and they're able to keep an extra 20%...they boost their revenues and add in a big bonus.

maloney.adam Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Wow after looking at these contracts and the teams that are signing them, I think it’s best that Hahn holds off until the trade deadline. Just trade for one of Oakland’s pitchers and maybe sign Pederson and call it an offseason. edit: We’ll there goes Pederson as I was typing this.

Lillian Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) My suggestion of trading for a right fielder, on a cheap contract, in his last year before free agency, is looking more appealing, by the minute. These contracts are just nuts. Save the money, maintain longer term flexibility and see what we have in Colas. Some of these contracts might be shopped, in the not too distant future.

Maybe 3/$54-60 ish? Sox might be flying under the radar here. If Conforto is seeking an opt out, it 100% won't be with the Sox. JR isn't going to sign off on that.
