Yea they just have a few cameras pointed at the tarp from a few angles and also the scoreboard screen. No announcers nobody talking just the rain falling on the field and the sounds of the field lol it is so stupid
Hmmm I thought once you clear waivers that the team that releases you is on the hook for the entire contract. But admittedly I don’t look into those rules very hard anymore
Correct, Oakland nullified the vesting option by cutting him before the required amount of at bats that make it vest, but paying the rest of this years contract in order to do so.
Lol come on man. You have to look into it a little harder, he doesn’t come with a contract if he was released. I know you are always insanely depressed about free agents but this is a no brainer, it’s minimum unless another team trumps it
I don’t think Boras matters nearly as much here as he does with his prime years clients. He isn’t gonna he negotiating too much here, just find the guy a team and get a nice little mortgage payment
Who were they gonna put out there, Leury is on one leg, Eloy was replaced by Engel, Robert is being held out, pollock was already in. They didn’t have many options
Baseball is fucking hard at the professional level. Not saying the other sports are easy but as baseball progresses it gets more technical and less about overall physical talent, playing the chess game with the opposing pitcher or hitter. A lot of times the players that make the HS jump in NBA are men among boys at that level. In football I would say a QBs journey is probably the most similar to a MLB players in terms of progressing and just having to learn more and more to stay at the top of their games.
