No the issue is money.

I think the bigger issue is not being able to scrape together $3 million if their scouting likes a guy to rebound.

Bye bye jose ruiz

I mean lopez or Crochet with Rodon moving into bullpen. It's eating this flex fifth starter position which is about whether people believe that Rodon deserves that handed to him.

I don't know. This doesn't seem optimal to me but also isn't like, obviously bad. It's just very risky.

These contracts don't seem that bad to me. You don't take on the signing bonuses in a trade.

I mean, I picked guys that were likely to make 3 million or less. So in that case, I suppose we take Rodon. I'm just not ever going to be nice to hard carl.

I think that was partly resolved last weekend it just got crushed because of the snow storm. Saturday was pretty good.

take a bow sir.

Only two left. And they were the two that may very well not have working arms.

baseball isn't a business

I never thought when I made that trash heap pitchers thread that it was actually a bunch of guys that were too expensive for the sox

also good.

also good.

pretty good.

So yeah, teams that listen to how star free agents value themselves are able to close deals. Teams that try to "read the market" with star free agents don't.

Is he a person worth paying attention to? Another question to all: Have there been other QBs that fell apart like Wentz did then came back to be their initial selves? I can't really think of any. Matt Hasselback had some down years and up years.

lol this is hilarious

Disclaimer: I am surprised that his numbers in 2019 were good. I thought the discontent over Wentz started last year. But his Y/A did start to crater that year, so maybe it was the beginning of his gunshy stuff.

I don't really know what to think. I thought there was a phrase one time "once shown, twice repeated" with the implication that after you show you can do something once you should be able to do it again with prospects. But i think I made it up which was sad, because that means it is not based on anything. When he was great, Wentz was incredible on third down, improvising, feeling the pressure. But his offensive line then was maybe top 3 in league. Then we saw him behind average to bad olines and he looked like a shell of himself. So is he this bad? Is he a rebound candidate? Is he a mid tier 12-18 QB that is dependent on talent around him? I don't know. But I just don't know, he looked awful. Here is what it could mean for bears Carson Wentz, PHI, 28 Traded before March 19 $33.8M of dead cap to the Eagles ($853k saved). New team acquires a 4 year, $100.4M contract, with cap hits of $25.4M (GTD)/$22M ($15M GTD)/$27M/$26M. Released before March 19 $59.2M of dead cap to the Eagles ($24.5M lost). Traded between March 20 - June 1 $43.8M of dead cap to the Eagles ($9.14M lost). New team acquires a 4 year, $90.4M contract, with cap hits of $15.4M (GTD)/$22M ($15M GTD)/$27M/$26M. Released between March 20 - June 1 $74.2M of dead cap to the Eagles ($39.5M lost). Traded after June 1 $19.2M of 2021 dead cap ($15.4M saved), $24.5M of 2022 dead cap ($6.72M saved) to the Eagles. New team acquires a 4 year, $90.4M contract, with cap hits of $15.4M (GTD)/$22M ($15M GTD)/$27M/$26M. Released after June 1 $49.6M of 2021 dead cap ($15M lost), $24.5M of 2022 dead cap ($67.2M saved) to the Eagles. Courtesy of spotrac. So if they have a handshake deal to execute it before March 19th, the bears have essentially a 2 year $47 million deal. If they have a handshake deal to execute it on March 20th, it's basically a 2 year $30 million deal.

.6% of IL population vaccinated in a day yesterday. Starting to really cook

What are the FS guys thoughts on Davis Martin? Will he be in bullpen this year or do they keep trying him at starter?

Phew I was kinda sorta starting to get worried after that whole tejada jr thing.

Someone needs to tell Lucas the truth that he is not good at naming things before this gets out of hand.

So this was basically answered. The Angels are only paying Fowler 2.5 million of his salary.
