Is there a better Of option they can add? Also Martian, not alien. Lol. I'm slow sometimes.

Well we *should* be listening on Tucker and the price should be astronomical. I'd stand pat if I were them and the only thing I could add was Bellinger.

Breggy on the Yankees would make me want to hurl. The NY media would eat him alive for his early season woes.

I don't see Bregman faring well in Yankees Stadium. He really needs a short porch for his pull swing. He's not made to lift it into that RCF jet stream and Mickey Mouse power alley.

Agreed, think it's a bad fit for both team and player. Boston or Philly make more sense.

And that's why I want him with the Yankees if not resigning here. I want them to waste money on an overpriced Bregman that won't produce like he's being paid.

If he goes to NYY I wish him all the worst

So maybe more players are willing to do deferred money after all?

looking at RoFlo's predictions...

didn't we discuss last year that only 10-20% of players who reach free agency (or are allowed to reach free agency)...sign back with their original team?

the vast majority move on to another club

Quote:

The deal tears up the final season of a two-year contract Edman previously signed and replaces it with one that runs from 2025 through the 2029 season. The contract includes a sixth-year club option for $13 million with a $3 million buyout and will give Edman a $17 million signing bonus, sources said. About one-third of the overall value of the deal is deferred, according to sources.

That's a ton of money for a guy who had one good year a couple of years ago.

He had a 98 wRC+ last year and an fWAR of 0.9.

He's averaged 2.9 WAR per over the last 4 seasons. 15 M a year is perfectly fine for that type of production.

He had one year well north of 5. That's skewing it by a bunch. Take that out and he is Dubon.

Well he hits in the playoffs so that's got to be worth something

The tards over on r/baseball are bending over backwards to defend LA's cap shenanigans while STILL complaining about the Astros and 2017.

Very refreshing to see a '15 with that kind of wisdom.

.

Let me know when more players are willing to do deferred money for teams other than LA and large markets.
MaxPower

I will say Edman and Snell look like overpays so the deferrals seem like a way of making the contract look bigger than it is. I don't think I want either of those contracts here if it's a straight money deal over the contract period. It wouldn't shock me if Boras is pushing these deals so he can say he got a bigger contract than he really did for purposes of negotiating other deals.

So when does spring training start? I am so done with Aggie football.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

The key is to assume we will be 8-4. That means if we start the season 8-0 there's no point in watching the last 4 games.

We have 2 generational players? I must be missing them.
