Gonna be up to local jurisdictions

I ... kinda like Wentz. Bears aren’t in a good position regardless, it doesn’t really hurt long term. And the situation was legit awful. If he ends up being a 12-14 QB and you want to move on, you could have a great contract with no guaranteed money to send out. I just really don’t trust NFL fan orthodoxy anymore. And I’ve just not really seen a qb as good as Wentz was lose it to that point. I also think the complete dismissal of Mac Jones as just a product of the talent around him has a good chance of being the new big draft groupthink that ends up wrong.

I don’t understand why Oakland did that

And the mets offer was 3/105 so I think @southsider2k5 wins the thread.

exactly this.

Most of the national writers like morosi, feinsand, etc fall into the trap on stuff like this of thinking about what would make sense for white sox to add at the expense of them considering what the white sox are likely to add when you consider their owner. That said, I think Ozuna did an incredible job last year, but I would be incredibly annoyed spending 15 mill plus on a DH rather than using that toward another good reliable pitcher or some additional toward a more reliable outfielder.

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
