Yeah I think they'll hang on for one more year since the court seems to be determined to let them breach one contract at a time. And I can't see a way around that. It'd be nice if they'd apply a theory of anticipatory breach, or constructive breach, and put them, us, MLB and the teams being...

Eight years in the league. Over 100 innings twice, averaged 72 innings a year for the last seven. ERA a touch under 4.00. FIP is good over the 300 innings he's managed over the last FIVE years. HR rate over 1.0/9. 30 years old. Clearly Los Doyers are smarter than me, a common fan, and have...

Warming up to him a little, are you? You’re right. He’s a good gamble. Could be a dud; could be an incredible get. Only cost money to find out.

What are you looking for in a fourth outfielder that Pillar doesn’t give you?

I hear Kevin Pillar is available.

That doesn’t make any sense.

True enough. In ‘23.

The second statement is true but the first is not. There’s no identified account that they can point to and say they have a superior right to other creditors. So they have a contract, Ohtani or another deferred player has the ability to compel payment through a judgement if necessary….but they...

True, as long as they're controlled by Guggenheim, for whom they're almost a toy. It's worth pointing out that the team filed Chapter 11 as recently as 2011, though that was under Frank McCourt's stewardship. And when he sold the next year, he got $2.1 billion for the club. So despite having...

Jesus, are we really talking about scrubs like this? If you're not going to move the needle, keep the money in your pocket. We crapped out pitching-wise the last two years in the playoffs because of Strider's oblique, Morton's finger, Fried's virus and blister. If they're hurt or sick again...

I agree with this analysis. Ohtani is actually taking an unsecured promise to pay instead of current compensation and if it were secured he would be currently taxed. The tradeoff is that if the promisor (the business) goes under, the deferred comp participant waits in line with the rest of the...

No, the Doyers make an unsecured promise to pay in the future. The substantial risk of forfeiture means he’s not yet in constructive receipt of the money. As long as they follow this well-established structure, the tax is pushed out until the money is received.

Doesn’t Stroman have a big dick or something? We need guys with big dicks, amirite?

All you guys clamoring for a superutility player, you got him. Plays anywhere on the diamond. Can’t hit anywhere he plays, costs $6M per, but here he is. Assuming the Angels absorbed all of Evan White, I’m okay with it. Hope we can shed Stassi. He’s a nice catcher, so somebody ought to bite...

Remember all that **** about Ohtani wanting to go to a team that wins? Consistently contending for championships? In the last 30 years, Toronto has won one division and made the playoffs 5 times, never a WS. Why not just say you’re following the money?

Soto hit .242 with a .452 SLG in ‘22. Seager, .245/.455. I think the more likely explanation is Morosi is retarded.

Gonzales and cash to the Bucs for a duffel and a tin of Skoal.

Making contact is the thing that keeps a lot of guys back. Me. Maybe you. I tease, but of course that's it. I lived in Seattle most of the last decade, and have watched a lot of their challenges up close, and the reason I think this could happen is he did it. He did it for a short time, maybe...

There should be a clear Cy's Mom opportunity here

Sounds like a guy I'd like to play poker with
