Official official offseason thread

This guy who predicted Schwarber, Story, Verlander before it happened is saying Judge will go to SF. Has some details on the contract too.

CA income tax: 13.3%
PA income tax: 3%

Turner gave the Phils a ~2% hometown discount. I suppose we can start applying that to all contract projections for guys who owned a Glavine jersey as a kid.

I used to deal a lot with income tax policy and this may have changed, so my comment can be ignored if it no longer applies. As contracted employees, I believe baseball players, like entertainers, have to pay income taxes in all states in which they have made money. In other words (and it used to be this way), the accountants for every Braves' player has to calculate the revenue earned in each state. As example, the Braves play half-a-dozen to a dozen games in California each year. I don't know how the days would be calculated vis-a-vis the contract, but basically the player would pay taxes to California for the amount of money he earned in California.

The other angle on this--and I have personal experience with due to the first Ms. 50# selling her business and moving to Florida after we divorced--is that if you spend less than half a year in a state, you can claim residence in another state regardless of how many days you are actually there. I think that's why so many players establish their residence in Florida, where there is no income tax.

I guess what I am getting at--and this may have all changed--is that the whole "high income tax state" issue isn't as large as some make it out to be when it comes to players' contracts.

Then where does that yankee money go, Correa?

Sounds like they're deep into Carlos Rodon. Offensively, i'm not sure. The shortstops are the only elite bats. I guess sign Beni or Nimmo and trade for Reynolds.

Bless your heart Huddy, and I mean it in the worse possible way. Just put your fan badge away. Nobody's got time for that. The Braves just drew 3M so I am not sure anybody should out of their price range if they really want them.

AA is not gonna overpay period and he’s said so. And last time I checked this is a fan page retard.

Since you have nothing to do, go look at the Phillies and padres schedules to determine the tax burden for both places. Assume turner lives in Florida. We REALLY need to know what this discount was.






Haha, of course I'm playing

Well just get ready for a rebuild if you support breaking this team up this quickly. You couldn't re-sign Dans so somebody like Correa seems like a pipe dream.

Our core is locked up for the next 4-5 years. We'll rebuild 5-7 years from now, i've kind of assumed that. Right now, nope. AA has some plan if he's letting Dansby go. What that is, is anyones guess.

I think if you research deep enough you will find that it depends on the state laws. I never earned a dime in Maryland while in the Army and after retiring maintained family and residence in NC but worked 4-10 days per month in Maryland where employer was based and checks came from. Because of no reciprocity between the two states my entire income was subject to MD taxes.

It’s called value. AA isn’t gonna overpay for a guy that just had a career year and is a mediocre hitter. Yeah that’ll age well.
