Jerry's 83 years old and shows no signs of selling before his death. I believe I read there are estate tax reasons which make it foolish to sell. My point is it's foolish to think Jerry isn't a die hard fan just like any of us. I believe he will spend the money as it's his last chance to build a lasting dynasty type team.

By no means are opt outs given in all cases. Yes...some players ask for and get them because of circumstances unique to the situation. In my view...if a player doesn't want to commit to the team...we don't need him.

There is no player I would give an opt out to. The team is taking the risk when giving out mega deals. The team is entitled to certainty of control of player in exchange for certainty of income.

You are right...in 10 years no one will remember which of us is right about Moncada & Madrigal. I have been one of Madrigals biggest supporters on this sight. You tend to be Mr. negative about most things. These are just opinions we have. No one is right or wrong about anything we discuss. Just because you like to be more confrontational doesn't make you any more right in your opinions than anyone else. JUST OPINIONS.?

Madrigal will be playing winning baseball when Machado has hung em up.

Just announced that McCann came in 2nd. Not surprised but disappointed.

No reason to abandon the catcher option. He has looked fairly decent behind the plate IMO.

Interesting!

With both Anderson and Moncada out I can't help wonder if Madrigal is going to get the call. With Garcia playing short...maybe Robert gets brought up also. Sure would make games more interesting. Might as well bring up Cease and get it over with. Just a thought...I know the arguments against these moves.

Inquiring minds want to know...was he a good tipper?

Thanks for the info. Your idea might be worth a try.

Has Palka play any first base?

More worthy than Alonso is not a qualification IMO.

I doubt any world series caliber team has a spot for Alonso.

Thank God we dodged those bullets.

Palka and Jimenez would be a disaster in the same outfield.

No!!!! He's good but not close to 5 stars good.

We will not see this unless Ricky wants to fend off the mob trying to get at his throat.

Some of us have been encouraging a McCann extension for quite a while. Others have taken the no rush approach. Now we are going to see that it will get quite expensive to have waited. Oh well...not my money.

I know it not worth much...he did pick up his third win.

Bummer!

I think he is saying better than hopeless.

That is very true...but his recent bad streak has made him look clueless. Pitchers haven't needed to throw strikes to get him out. In general I have been a Jose fan but there is no denying how bad he has looked recently.

EzPeeze!

Maybe if we start a petition.
