Hi. Guy who doesn’t follow baseball much here so this is probably a stupid question. So Aaron Judge, an unquestionable superstar and one of the faces of the game on the biggest team in the game has been in the Majors for like 6 years and is now 28 but only makes $10 million a year. The gently caress is up with that?

So you can be a bonafide superstar but you have to wait until you’re just about 30 to really cash in?

But then you have that kid getting a 14 year deal out of nowhere? Why is there no rhyme or reason?

FlamingLiberal posted:The team is gambling that he will continue to produce down the road, and in theory they will save money by paying more upfront, so you lock him up cheaper now and have cost-certainty. And the *checks notes* New York Yankees can’t do that with their generational talent? I mean I know that a small market outlet like the Yankees is hard up for cash but hey sometimes you need to take risks.

R.D. Mangles posted:there's a weird dynamic in baseball where only like 4-5 teams are trying to win and the rest are just cutting payroll and either blatantly tanking or gambling that the teams in their division are bad enough that they can maybe make the playoffs. The Padres are one of the teams going for it and they are spending money. For example, they traded essentially some teenagers and a mediocre pitcher to the Cubs for Yu Darvish because the Cubs are pretending to be poor because the owners spent a lot of money buying every building in wrigleyville and serving as the funding arm for donald trump. then everyone went nutso so they paid to bring back jake arrieta for a few million. Yeah how the gently caress did the Cubs go from looking like a budding dynasty in 2016 to reverting back to being the Cubs?

Intruder posted:Tatis is significantly younger and plays a more premium position Well the Yankees could have broken the bank when Judge was younger and it was obvious what they had.

Stanton was on the Marlins and everyone knew him because he could hit the ball 500 feet.

more falafel please posted:Outside of baseball fans? Speaking as someone on the outside I’m pretty confident that most people don’t know that Mike Trout is great because it seems that it’s all measured by analytics that most people don’t give a poo poo about. Like I watched this video the other day https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=92ItQ5h0rSU And absolutely nothing about it stuck with me and I was just waiting for the dude to tell me what his batting average is and how many hits and home runs he’s on pace for. But I freely admit I’m a simpleton.
