All you do here is set the Yankess and Dodgers up to win every single year. This would be awful.

There was some weird hypertext in your post, which I just deleted. Sometimes if you copy from a different source the hypertext comes with if you don 't utilize the plain text option when you paste it here.

This exactly. Dude is going to paint anything as a win, even if it wasn't. Its quite literally his job.

Honestly, the most likely scenario is that both Hahn and Boras wins here. Scotty gets him more money than the QO, but they Rodon turns in the same injury riddled seasons that he has for most of his career.

The irony of course being that the teams that spent the most to "compete" all got bounced early.

I don't believe the last part.

I am sure he's right. Because he is a marginal FA in terms of contract and market place, not having a draft pick attached to him, it only helps his market.

I can't see them trading for a 2B unless it is a minor deal. There are plenty of FAs there. I think trades go to RF, SP, or RP.

I know there is a lot of discussion about this that references Carlos Rodon, but let's not forget that Dylan Cease just made a similar leap and seemingly did it pretty flawlessly. Rodon gets more attention because of his higher achievements plus his fall off at the last month of the season, but Cease had just up a big ramp up.

That's an oddly specific period of time. Why 2.5 months? The season doesn't start for 5 months. Spring training starts in about 3+. Why 2.5 months?
