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?

Markakis, one year 6 mil.
Markakis' deal, as @Ken_Rosenthal said, is a year with a club option. His 2019 salary is $4 million, with a $6 million club option that includes a $2 million buyout.
Dammit. Neck better not be our full-time starter.
Meltdown in 5...4...3...2....
Someone tell me what I'm feeling....lol
Markakis really? We are only on the hook for 4m in 2019 but still..... I thought we had like 60m to spend.... Weve spent 30m.
I think this is insurance.
Financially, this is a great deal. To me, this just screams we go after JTR or a TOR starting pitcher in a trade. For now, we're looking at Ender CF, Donaldson 3B, Freeman 1B, Acuna LF, Markakis RF, Albies 2B, Mac/Flowers C, Swanson SS.
Well.... I think NOW we can safely call the Mukaki rebuild a success.

I like playing it safe and never winning it all.

That’s a good deal for Nick. If it allows us to keep our position prospects for a year so be it.
There are more moves to come now.
Markakis signs the exact same deal as Tyler Flowers. Simple human nature had me hoping for an exciting new option in RF, but this is very clearly a good value. I can only hope that AA has made it clear to him that he's not going to play 162 games. He needs more days off against LH SP.

Ahem maybe we sign Machado, move Swanson+ for an ace, and possibly trade for JTR. Saving money by signing Neck May allow the money to be used on Machado.
We better have something else coming. No way we waited all offseason just to beat Nick down on price. If so, I’m utterly disappointed.
