The Marlins' top pitcher from 2020 will start the 2021 season at the alternate site. He was in the Covid protocol early in spring and didn't pitch until March 15th.

Unspeakably excited for a full season of Ke'Bryan Hayes at third base and Anthony Alford in center field.

Very eager to see what David Bednar can accomplish

Praying Keller puts it all together

There’s nothing to lose this season, and i’m going to enjoy it. plus i’ll get to be stoked about either Leiter or Rocker come June.

Uh....yeah. That's a complete joke.

I do wonder if some of this is the owners trying to see if they can bully some players into signing lopsided deals before a likely labor stoppage this fall.

Lindor has to take that then? There is no way he's getting a better deal during a strike/lockout offseason

It's unreasonable. He's not in the same league as the 400mm guys.

Honestly 10 year / 325 million seems like a solid offer for Lindor.

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Non-pandemic and non-entering a "gonna be a lockout or a strike" year I think Lindor would be looking at 12/400. But I can't see giving Lindor 35m more than Betts, who got 12/365m. Betts is simply a better player, and signed that contract at the same age as Lindor is now.

What's interesting to me is that the AAV is pretty similar.

e: Like, gently caress all owners, but 10/325 isn't a lowball offer.

He would be better off taking it rather than trying to hold out for $400 mil in a possible lockout year

I have been a Mets fan for several months now and I too think that 10/325 is a decent contract for Lindor.

TBH Lindor has been a 325m player for 1 season in his career and he's gotten worse the last 2 years. He's probably the worst of the big stortstop FA class next year and they will all get screwed on money coming off a labor stoppage.

Sorry I'm late
I love Lindor and respect him pushing for as much money as possible but if doesn't get at least the $325m in the end, he's stupid as gently caress.

It'll be great to have Javy, Rizzo,.and KB gone after this year and then we turn back into the pre-2015 Cubs franchise.

And by pre-2015 I mean the "100+ tears of ineptitude"
