Think its more of a commentary on who will be in better shape moving forward.Originally Posted by msstate7
Ozuna has made more money over his career I believe so I think there is more motivation for Soler to get another big contract after this one.

Unfortunately, Ozuna's shape seems to be getting rounder.

And you still need to print money for the dollar store?

Does that apply to players signing to their current teams? Unless Freddie has been sky diving since game 7 they should sort of already know what kind of shape he’s in.
Fckn Yankees man…go away.
Couple goons on Twitter reporting that the Yanks have offered Freddie his 6th year at $180m
I suspect if Freeman goes somewhere that AA will finally make that big prospect for star trade everyone has been wanting.
smells like salary floor
From the guy who just signed a $40m a year contract with a team that has one of the highest payrolls in baseball and coming from a team that has the highest payroll and revenue in baseball…
That’s like Colonel Sanders complaining about the obesity rate in America.

He's not wrong though. The fact that Max's salary is higher than 2 teams entire payroll is just said. No way a team should have a 50 million payroll or less.
Is max wants a more level field, go to a hard salary cap like the nfl
I understand…but it appears his position is the higher payroll the larger the opportunity it is for players to get bigger deals..only 16 teams in MLB has 9 figure payrolls.
Hard salary cap and hard salary minimum.
The players do not want a more level playing field or competitive landscape. They want more money, more money sooner, more control over what they chose to do with their career, & more long term protection to collect as they get worse personally. That is really it.
They get it from teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, Mets, etc. They want it from all the teams that start rebuilding and the bottom dwellers.
They want a salary floor. They want to speed up FA eligibility. They want to remove penalties for spending too much. That is all they want.

4-5 year FA eligibility and hard salary minimum.

That doesn't tell the whole story. Ozuna is out of shape and 2 years older. Soler looks to be in great shape with a bit more youth on his side. Ozuna had some glaring red flags with his statcast data and peripherals with his limited playing time in 2021... enough to be concerning.

Increase the minimum salary, which will create a higher salary floor and increase subsequent arbitration salaries. This should get more money into younger player’s hands sooner.
Order the draft picks from best non-playoff team down to worst team in the league, which will incentivize winning 80 games rather than losing 100+ games. This should incentivize non competitive teams to sign those midrange older FAs rather than just tanking.
Completely do away with any connection between FA contracts and draft picks. This has only served to weigh down the market of non-star FAs.
I consider those 3 ideas the best of what I’ve seen thrown around.

I'm just gonna take enscheff at his word on xwoba being the most important stat. When we acquired soler, I even said if the stat was good, soler would start getting better results soon, and he did. That and enscheff sold me on the stat.
