Gotta wonder if the same things will be said about Kyle Tucker in a few years

They should convince him to come throw out the first pitch so the fans can boo the **** out of him one day.

So he will end up being paid roughly $1MM per actual game played.

Easily the worst contract ever handed out. He literally is Mt Rushmore all by himself.

Tucker at least has lower injury risk. Rendon dealt with injuries way before that contract.

Rendon, MegaHead, and who else played out of their shoes for a title against the Astros, then did absolutely nothing thereafter. Gotta be someone from the Braves.

Davis, the Oriole first baseman, was terrible on a big contract. But he didn't quit.

For a guy that barely gets through 5 innings, a huge overpay

Major overpay by the Jays.

Can they still afford Bichette? And are they still going hard for Tucker now? I can't imagine they do unless they are trying to reach the LA/NY payroll amounts.

I think it eliminates all top free agent pitchers. Suarez and others will demand more than what Cease just got. Only option is trade, which is going to be difficult if they want Donovan.

deferred money must be eliminated in next CBA ..... or at very least count towards luxury tax
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

Wow does Framber get +/- 200 mil now. I can appreciate the seven years to bring the AAV down a smidge.

I don't think so. Their payroll was pretty up there last year.

Rotation needs attention ASAP.

I don't think Suarez gets as much as Cease. He's a poor man's Framber who has never hit 160 innings.

I agree this market eliminates us from the top tier arms but I don't agree anyone will get more than Cease. Suarez and Framber will end up 160-200 range.

The SP market is deep tho. King, Gallen, Eflin, Bassit, Martinez, and lots more. Plus all the trade options.

Didn't senior have more but the kids all got a piece?

I can also see them having to spend a bunch of money just to play 162 games a year.

Crane got how many extra games over the years to make the money back?
