Jensen Huang quote?

Now imagine what Morejon will get. $40-50 million for three years...

Now the SeC has to enact $7-10 million luxury taxes for its fb teams with over $60 and $70 million rosters...and still there are cutouts and hedges.

If Evan Phillips is worth $10 million plus, May will surely get $15 million, if not more. Ofc that's still a relative bargain compared to Cadtillo.

Would be Sox #2 starter, at worst, a 3.

Paging Pete Gray…

Cubs owners borrow more than $65 million on Wrigley rooftops 2017年6月30日 — The Ricketts family's new loan comes amid its $850 million Wrigley Field renovation and development that is changing the look of the... "Independent estimates place the Cubs' combined baseball and Wrigleyville district operations at generating annual revenues well north of $600 million, with net operating income often in the range of $70 to $100 million depending on attendance, media carriage fees, postseason performance, and the performance of ancillary assets like Hotel Zachary, Gallagher Way events, and the DraftKings Sportsbook." MICHAELDONNELLYBYTHENUMBERSThe Chicago Cubs' Business Model: Team Revenues, Wrigleyv...A clear look at the Chicago Cubs as a business. Team revenues and media rights, the Ricketts family's Wrigleyville holdings, and the capital investments that created a baseball-centered district of al So you've basically got all the borrowing, $1 billion for ballpark renovations beginning nearly a decade ago...now this ongoing dispute with rooftops and then the Ricketts/Wrigleyville debt/developments to all consider.

Maybe Passan was onto something pairing him with the Cubs?

Spending time at XYZ famous pitching lab/training academy working on offspeed arsenal and following Freddy Peralta program to regain FB crispness...instead of hanging out in the DR the whole time.

Feels like $75-85 million...

Dodgers, Mets, Padres, Blue Jays emerge as Tarik Skubal suitors as market for top MLB free agent takes shape“It’s very clear that it’s a dominant and strong Sku-bull market,” agent Scott Boras said, offering one of his signature free-agency puns.

The Cubs with payroll constraints? Weird, since $143 million is in Brewers' territory...and Passan wants MIL to trade Megill in order to keep beefing up their elite farm system (and/or keep Contreras). But the Cubs adding another undersized Japanese starting pitcher with Suzuki and Imanaga both likely gone? Strange times. Who would have thought the possible payroll floor of $170-180 million would be too much for Ricketts? (Ofc, it's really not.)

Nice veteran bullpen piece. Closed a good number of games for the Reds the last two seasons.

Closer vote with Cash than expected...111 to 98. Some idiot voted for Boone. Not much of a consolation prize for losing his dad this week.

Nick Pivetta seems more like the kind of buy low starter the Sox would court...very solid 2025, but all kinds of question marks attached, like a Brandon Woodruff. "The reason his free agency was surprising is that he had a club option on a team-friendly deal that could have been picked up, but the Friars chose to decline it. For any team that signs Pivetta — and the Padres can very well be that team this winter — it is worth noting that he missed nearly five months of action in 2026 dealing with a flexor tendon strain in his elbow."

There's just no way they're serious players for Skubal... "(In addition to Skubal) The Athletic's Dennis Lin (subscription required) hears the Friars also are showing interest in several Japanese stars, including right fielder Seiya Suzuki, corner infielder Teruaki Sato and starter Shota Imanaga. Reliever Yuki Matsui is the most notable Japanese-born free agent the Padres have signed under general manager A.J. Preller. However, the team has long tried to expand its reach in Japan, courting the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Suzuki in previous free-agent cycles. mlb.com Deep pocketed new owners have to make a splash to sustain attendance/interest...likely losing King, Pivetta and Morejon, leaving only Vasquez and recovering Musgrove in rotation.

McDougal is more realistic than anything to do with Cannon. As bad things got in the second half and post season they still didn't realistically consider Thorpe or Cannon all that highly.

He already has a QO, so they would have to go 3/$60 million or something like that, 2/$50-55, etc. Not happening.

Sounds about like another Todd Ritchie trade...although Detmers has more promise, the odds of remaining him long-term under JR are slim and none unless there really is a salary floor instituted.

Jenks came from the Angels, fwiw. But a ton of really good and cheaper relievers came from other places...and had lower acquisition costs. Marte Crain Foulke Howry Santos Thornton to name just a few. The times they got in trouble were buying FAs like Linebrink/Dotel (overreaction to 2007 struggles) and Kimbrel/Graveman/Kelly. Robertson they bought at peak value and was just a tier below elite...Hendriks was good until hit by both injuries/illness.

New owners have to sustain that huge attendance/interest somehow.
