bmags Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm gonna guess no other team offered pollock that 5th year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 12 mil per year ain't bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 5 years and $60M is super interesting. obviously longer than what everyone wants, but I was thinking he'd get closer to Cutch's 3 years $50M. I'd definitely take the extra 2 years and $10M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 if pollock only got a 12m AAV...Manny at 28m and Harper at 30m is really looking possible. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I hope what Middleton meant by "stupid money" was that he was going to overpay McCutchen by double, because that was stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Did NOT think he'd get less than McCutchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southwest Sider Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 FINALLY SOMETHING HAPPENS At first glance, this looks like a pretty darn good deal. On the surface, this definitely could hurt the arguments of Harper and Machado for record breaking contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think it is a head nod to the difficulty of the harpchado negotiations. Contracts have been turned on their heads the last two years as agents worked to squeeze more money out of players that performed while guaranteeing the highest possible floor on market. It's incredibly difficult to even say so and so is signed for 4 for 50, because it's like a choose your own adventure contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I can see why Pollock might have signed this deal. Same total money that most predicted for him. Gets to play in LA. Gets to compete for titles. Likely won't even be able to walk by the time the extra year he has to give them comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Damn, I was open to a 3/$50M deal if we landed Machado. This is a fantastic move by the Dodgers and keeps space for a Kluber or Realmuto addition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There was talk about a $100m ask from Pollack at the beginning of the off season. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Obviously great price here, but this should 100% gurantee Dodgers won't be in play for Harper so that's good as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's been mentioned so many times you would think people would spend the extra half a second to notice. Yet here we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows who everyone is talking about, it is a pain to edit on the phone, and it quite literally changes it from what people originally typed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 There are not multiple Pollack, Pollock or Pawlucks that were signed recently, I think we are okay everyone. We all know what you are saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
