uggy posted:Just casually speculating that the woman who also worked for the mlbpa and who got Bauer the first 40m a year contract is bad at her job It was an Andrew Friedman dream deal, the exact kind of contract structure he’d been trying to get good players on for years. And he got Bauer on it cause Bauer famously, arrogantly proclaimed he would take 1-year deals to maximize his AAV and bet on himself. It didn’t take some masterful achievement of negotiation on his agent’s part to get that deal.

In fact he said he’d let his friend shoot him in the junk with a paintball gun if he ever signed a multi year deal Then of course he said the player opt outs made it not count when people trolled him on Twitter about it

Anthony Rendon got paid several hundred thousand dollars so far during spring training, in which he is 0-2 at the plate, and with no fielding chances.

I was at an antique/vintage/craft fair doing some Christmas shopping and there was a booth with a bunch of old sports apparel. I was loving psyched when I saw a red and black starter jacket. Less psyched when it was a Wisconsin Badgers starter jacket.

The Cubs are 0-2 with a 13-0 run differential since it was announced they would get Bellinger back. Makes you think.

Hirez posted:imagine going to work for no pay, sickos This is why the owners continue to push for expanded playoffs. MLB salaries are paid out from Opening Day through Game 162. Teams in the playoffs get a share of the gate receipts but no further base salary, so all that parking and beer and hot dog revenue is free money for ownership.

It's less about getting a handful of extra games without paying out salary than it is about getting extra TV revenue

opinion and a question 1. players should get the full series worth of bonus pay regardless of how long it goes. i guess it's possible that it's already worded that way. 2. do the umps get paid per playoff game?

Yeah players getting paid so much more now is a nice buffer against gambling related scandals. How much would you have to pay the ace for a playoff team to make it worth the risk of being banned from the sport How are you going to make that money gambling on a single baseball game without raising flags
