True they need to cut salary so they can afford Judge's contract

They're going to sign Dansby to OPS+ 98 for 6 years or whatever.

With Bellinger and Swanson, that Cubs lineup is never going to draw a walk and stirkeout like 30% of the time. They'll have a good defense I guess.

STAC Goat posted:

Bellinger getting a second chance to prove he wasn’t a fluke is such a no brainer for some team with room to carry him I’m shocked it’s even a conversation.

I'm fine with it. Just not if this is your big offseason signing for the offense. This is a bad offense that is looking considerably worse with the loss of Contreras.

Per Manfred, the Angels are trying to have a sale finalized by Opening Day. That seems a bit unrealistic to me, but I guess it's at least a sign that they want to get this done as soon as possible.

Agreed. Go to the Brewers, hit 43 dingers, get bounced out of the first round, no harm, no foul

300m/11yr contract with no trade clause on a shortstop is absolutely loving insane and they're gambling hard that he's going to decline slow when he does start declining. Frankly I think it's a crazier contract than the Judge deal even if Judge is getting paid more.

they just haven't broken out the one two three punch that will make every other team give up before the season starts: signing Xander Boegarts, trading for Sean Murphy (Oakland will accept four rookie ball prospects due to Fisher being a terrible human being) and Kyle Hendricks can dial his 4 seamer up to 90mph :cool:

At this point Cubs getting Boegarts and Murphy would be the best outcome I could ask for.

Yeah, there is a much better team 5 miles south that hasn't done anything except sign a #4 starter and watch their window slowly close.

Yankees had to bring him back after his season, had to, but man they are in a bind because no one bat is worth this, especially in the out years. I guess Hal is just ok with paying the tier III penalty until 2031

e: sportrac has it at $360 over 9 which, yeah he's gonna get 40 aav, but the years man

As a fan of the team who has had to deal with the Yankees in the post season probably the most over the last like decade of sports I can only hope Judge's waning years are an albatross around the Yankees' neck.
