And they’re actually paying him a pretty affordable amount anyway because of what the Marlins cover. Yankees are on the hook for $26 mil a year I think? Anyway, I just figured the Yankees wouldn't want to carry both Stanton's contract and whatever Harper would get...not that they CAN'T. Also there's a matter of where people will actually play...

Not sure of the names yet. I think so to.. I saw one of the "big mlb reporters maybe Rosenthal"? say something about harper. saying he may sign a short term(1-2 yr) contract and hit FA again since the huge contract "isn't there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Rosenthal is pretty knowledgeable. Hope he is right on that 1. He or whoever said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyguy1609 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Keep an eye on Phillies in JT Realmuto trade possibilities. Sounds as though there could be some traction there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least cueto is actually good, albeit injured at the moment. A healthy cueto is much better for the giants in that ballpark than ellsbury would be. Cueto would have value to flip to a contender if we eat money (once he pitches again, even if that's 2020) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The Player's Union is trying to get the DH position for the NL THIS year. Nuts. The MLB wants a 3-batter minimum rule for starting pitchers and they want to reduce mound visits to 4 this year and then 3 in 2020. Wut. EDIT - It's not just starting pitchers...it's all pitchers. Manfred sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for them to ruin baseball so I literally have no sports left that I enjoy watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I mean seriously, making the draft penalize losers and incentivise winning? Why even have a draft anymore. Just let everybody sign everybody and make it so small market teams literally never win again. Or, here's a WILD AND ZANY theory. Maybe your billionaire ownership group should just ******* pay to put a baseline MLB payroll out there instead of putting out as little as possible and pocketing as much cash as possible.

The MLBPA should be in favor of a draft that penalizes losers, because it provides additional value to free agents, especially the middle class of free agents that has gotten obliterated in the last few free agent markets. That said, they shouldn't be negotiating period. Negotiations are between 2 parties operating in good faith, and the owners have spit on that notion repeatedly.
