Offseason Hot Stove 2024-25 Thread

That is true only if the player is a nonresident. If he claims his main residence in the off-season, in say Minnesota, then he is taxed the California tax rate for 81 home games. If his residence is in California then all of it is taxed the California tax rate.

Likewise, Atlanta players are taxed at California rates for games they play on the road in California.

I work with the US Treasury and DOJ on cases like this all the time. It’s quite interesting. If you’re a nerd like me.

I saw a good article discussing this a few years ago when the whole Harper and Philly/LA contract was going on. I’ll see if I can find it

That's interesting to me and I didn't know that.

I would have assumed they would be taxed in their state of residence regardless as it's a salary rather than a per diem or single event contract.

Is that specific to professional athletes?
 
Heard a report that the Mets may be willing to go to 800 million to get it done with Soto. If that is true that will be the worst contract in sports history
 
Jesus christ thats an insane contract. I think the Yankees wanted him back, but thats an absurd price to match.
 
15 years bwahahahaha dumba$$ move. Soto isn’t gonna age well at all. I’m guessing they bring back Alonso soon to.

Idk if they'll bring back Alonso, with Soto. But hopefully the offseason can now begin with Soto off the board.
 
Yankees bid 16 years for 760M. He must have wanted to be a Met if the money wasnt much different.
