    Deferred money deferential

    Dodgers have been doing this repeatedly at this point: Betts: $115M in salary is deferred ($8M/year of 2021-25 salaries, $10M/year of 2026-27 salaries, $11M/year of 2028-32 salaries); deferred money to be paid each July 1, 2033-44: $8M/year in 2033-37, $10M/year in 2038-39, $11M/year in...

    Soroka, Schuster, Shewmake and Lopez to the White Sox for Aaron Bummer

    Arcia had bizarre LHP/RHP splits this year, with an OPS >1.000 against LHP and <.675 v. RHP. I have much more faith that he repeats the RHP number than the LHP number.

    How Would You Fix the Playoffs?

    I can't even imagine the toxicity when you pick a team and lose to them.

    Official 2024 Off-Season Thread!

    This is a good team. We had a good season. Sometimes it doesn't workout, especially now that the playoffs are open to a million teams. It's a shame we didn't go farther, but excited for next year. Probably need to get some pitching. I get it, this is part of y'all's process, gotta get out the...

    How Would You Fix the Playoffs?

    I would be willing to believe that the layoff hurt our hitters timing, which is what Ender was pointing out on twitter. But even putting that aside, the expanded wildcard--when compared to the previous single wild card version of the playoffs--is a structural disadvantage to the top seeds...

    How Would You Fix the Playoffs?

    First time long time. Expand to 32 teams. Four division winners and four wildcards per league. Each division winner places a wild card. Division winners get a 1-0 advantage. Winning your division matters. Loser mid teams still get a "shot," which MLB seems obsessed with giving them for some...

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    Elder through the order once: 2 1/3 inning, 1 run AJSS through the order once: 2 2/3 inning, 1 run Hindsight is 20/20, but used strategically, these guys could have kept it tight. They both only got actually lit up on the second pass through.

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    What's actually weird about this, is that after the Marsh single (one batter after Castellanos) they cut away to the bullpen and AJSS and Yates were both getting loose. That's why it was double baffling when the Gulf of Tonkin came in.

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    This is not true. We won game 3 down 2-0 in the 2018 NLDS. In Atlanta.

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    Seems less than ideal that Forest Wall is our best lefty off the bench.

    Heaven forbid we just had AJSS ready to go instead of Tonkin.

    Oh my god blue the Phillies do not need your assistance.

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    Harper is amazing, but staring down Arcia kind of makes him look like a dingbat.

    GDT: Braves @ Phillies Game 3: No Mentum Like Momentum

    Riley has put two good swings on Nola, just missing.
