Dodgers signing Will Smith to a 10 year, 140 million dollar extension per Passan. Robbery.

Robbery by who?

He's a 4 WAR catcher that is about to turn 30 tomorrow. We just signed Murphy for 6 years and 73 million a year ago when he was 27.

I realize the Dodgers have more money than Jesus, but these awful contracts they have been handing out recently are gonna bite them in the ass sooner rather than later.

The Dodgers are awful for MLB

It's probably lower on the CBT tax, but 10 years seems wild for someone nearing 30, at a position like catcher. I do agree some of these contracts will eventually bite them in the ass though. Friedman wont be there to clean up the mess.

Flags fly forever though.

Flags fly forever though.

even the ones with asterisk?

[Carp]

Flags fly forever though.

And yet they have 1 flag in a COVID shortened season that everyone discounts lol.

It's gonna be so fun watching them choke again.

[Heyward]

If they geta legit one with this all in group, i guess its worth it though.

Especially given DH isn’t an option for him down the line …

Damn I didn’t realize he was that old, fools you with his childlike face I reckon

Also, how the freak are the Dodgers and Padres back to playing ST games after already starting the season? Who's bone headed idea was that?

What upsets me is it allows them to reset their rotation to get an extra start from their top starters. Meanwhile we need out 5th starter in game 5. Their 2 SP should atleast be inelgible for the next 3 game series to prevent that.

They’ve done that before. I remember back in, like 2004, the Yankees and Blue Jays opened up in Japan and then went back to Florida to play a week more of ST games. Never understood it.

Would be cool if they did an opening series in Japan, Korea, Mexico City, Puerto Rico, DR, and Curaco.

I know it would be a logistical nightmare, but you would have serious exposure across the globe as MLB obviously wants.....

That weekend, you would have the FL spring training teams playing the Caribbean series, and the Arizona teams playing the Asian series.

So players don't lose their timing before the season starts. It's important to keep your timing before playing in games that matter.

Oh, it’s important to keep your timing before games 1-3 of a 162 game season but not before the most important games of the year in October. Makes sense.
