I’ve heard his family wanted to live their and obviously his post hoops business interests are there too. Cleveland’s a great city and a good place to live, but it’s not hard for me to see why someone who can earn a living elsewhere may want to live elsewhere. As soon as my stepson is in college I’m trying to get out of Ohio too. Nothing wrong with it, just other places I’d prefer to live and ready for a new “chapter” if you will. Perhaps that’s where he’s at.

I could have told you this a long time ago.

I don’t think he wanted to have LAL give up the assets I’d guess.

Hold on to your butts as in totally nuking the roster or making moves to try to win now?

Eh, he was coming off a nice season (.312, 11 hr, 76 RBI) and someone put a contract worth 50 million in his face having earned less than a million total thus far as a pro. The 26 million base is enough to never have to worry about money again if he’s not an idiot and he’ll be a FA again before 30, if he doesn’t work out an extension that ups the final year or two of that deal in the mean time. Hindsight being what it is obviously he left some money on the table, but I’m curious to see how many here would turn down 26 million guaranteed and opt for a few more seasons of 500k a year.

What a schmuck, I got it for free.

And some I know far too well.

Yeah most places will let you use PTO. I took 3 weeks, which tbh was long enough. Any longer and I’d have been DVRing Dr. Phil and day drinking.

Sucks man, sorry to hear that.

I head his actual quote was “Ain’t no fun if the homies can’t have none.”

And they say money can’t buy happiness...

Haha no, it’s an absolute steal.

They all are really, just being nominated is humbling and appreciated. Goes to show just how great of a forum we have. Im not familiar with all these guys but I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for their posts moving forward.

Yeah I don’t mean to imply that it’s not hurtful or the like, but at the end of the day anything worth doing has some inherent risk. ”I want to go to that college, but I’m afraid they won’t accept me.” ”I really want that job, but what if they don’t hire me?” ”That looks like an awesome hike, but what if I can’t finish it?” If you live your life doing everything you can to avoid rejection, you’ll miss out on a lot of awesome stuff as most people will surprise themselves with what they can accomplish. If this chick politely declines, in 10 years you’ll likely have forgotten it. Of course if she doesn’t, for all you know this could be your future wife and mother to some kids.
