Either that or wants to be a closer.

Braves made him an offer but he wants two years and to be a closer.
Has anyone else noticed the rise in what have to be AI authored sports articles? I'm talking about articles like this:
https://www.newsweek.com/sports/mlb...ected-91-million-outfielder-this-year-2046882
I mean this has to be AI generated right? There isn't a semi-serious baseball writer in the world that thinks Kelenic is getting a 7 year deal worth 91 million at this stage of his career. And I can't imagine anyone would dig this far into internet oblivion to find a useless contract projection to use as support in such a terrible article. This article looks like it was written by someone taking a high school journalism class.

He lost his fastball last year.
If he gets it back he's still pretty good. Big if.

Yeah, I assume every single article that says "Team X to sign/cut/trade for player worth 100 billion dollars" is AI slop. It's clickbait for ad revenue (people wondering who the player is) and by making it sound like something important it intrigues people. Then they bury the lede halfway down the article after spending 1000 words talking about how the history of the team and maybe namedropping GM and coach.

I think Kelenic would be worth 7/91 million personally.. Pay him 91 million to go away for 7 years.. I would be good with that.

Kimbrel is obviously still striking out a lot of guys, but I suspect he's the kind of pitcher for whom that doesn't really tell us that much at this point in his career. He's always going to strike guys out, just like Rickey Henderson was capable of drawing walks when he was half a decade past being over the hill. He's likely still toast.
Agreed. I see many articles with the exact same formula. Spotrac makes algorithmic contract projections for every player, so it’s pretty easy to parse that data for stories.
It may or may not be AI generated, but the authors clearly playing the “rack up clicks” game for max compensation .

My MSN feed that comes up automatically every morning is either video clips from news outfits or some sports headline that is something to the effect "Bengals considering Packers' former Pro Bowler." Some really off-the-wall stuff especially during off-seasons. Lots of trade proposals that make no sense except that they roughly match "value-to-value" on paper. If it's not AI, it's a junior high writing assignment, as in, "make up a trade proposal that really benefits your team."
