Upton is done. Even the Angels can find no use for him and you can bet he has been shopped. He is getting what? Something like 25-28M so do you think that $700K (which would reduce LAA payments) really makes a difference to him at this point?

Brewers need an impact bat more than they need pitching, notwithstanding today's game. Surprised they werent more involved in the FA market with some guys but takes two to tango.
Anybody else think Judge was insane to turn down that extension?
Even if he’s healthy and has a great year, I can’t imagine getting more than what the Yankees offered.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

I do think Judge can get 230-250 million on the open market. But if he has no issue with staying in NY, I don't get turning down this offer. Is 20-35 million really worth gambling over? Surely he must know he isn't a 275-300+ million type of player right?
Figured this might be something to keep track of during the early part of the season. Miggy is 11 hits away from 3000. Also 22 RBI away from being in the top 20 all-time.
And while unlikely, Pujols needs 21 homers to reach 700. Needs 18 to pass Arod.

I'm rooting for both of them. In this post-steroid era of baseball there seems to be a lack of generational stars, probably because guys are not playing as long as they used to. Even before the steroid era, stars would regularly play well until age 40 - I'm not sure what happened to halt that.
Which is why you see pitchers seeming to flame out much earlier than they used to. Constantly throwing 95+ on a frame that support 95+ tends to not work out well long term. Gone are days of pitchers going 300-400 innings and throwing 5+ complete games per year.
Sadly, Verlander may be the last of his kind.
