We're not that close to the luxury tax threshold. Hard to cry poor when you've got $16 million in space but can't sign an OFer for less than $10 million.

After bad defense in RF as well as almost no offensive production from that spot helped doom us in the playoffs, Hahn really thought the fix was 2 utility players and 3 relievers. It's fucking baffling.

Incompetence

Pederson opted out of $10 million to stay in Atlanta to sign for $6 million...makes sense.

I'd rather have Leury play 2B and sign Joc than Harrison.

There goes the one guy a lot of us thought we'd end up with.

What is going on?

I can see why the Cubs tore it all down

I wouldn't trade $50 million for the prospects that the Rockies got.

Just baffling. Should have just kept Arenado.

They finally get rid of one big contract in Arenado...only to give that money to another big contract 2 years later.

And both might get over $100 million if this Bryant deal is any indication of what the market is.

I don't think they wanted to give Bryant and Harper a combined half a billion $.

I don't think they have the money to keep him.

Haha yeah, we're not getting an OFer.

Someone must have told the Reds they can't completely tank.

That's a lot of money to Greinke.

Visiting players who aren't vaccinated can play in NYC. The Sox don't play in Toronto until May 31. Hopefully, COVID is done with by then and Canada retracts their vaccine requirement to enter the country. Even if they don't, I wouldn't worry about losing a guy for 3 games when you're talking about a 4 year contract.

I don't think Burger is a ML ready hitter yet. Yes, he hit the shit out of some fastballs last year. But he looked utterly lost against any kind of breaking ball.

The other NY team has no problem spending, but the Yankees are crying poor. Oh how the turn tables.

He probably wanted to go back to Atlanta. But they were so adamant about that 6th year that Atlanta said fuck it and traded for Olson. Now he might not get that 6th year with another team.

I think the point of signing any extra OFers is so that in case anyone gets hurt again (which we know probably will happen again), we won't be picking guys off the scrap heap to fill in.

The lockout totally made me forget about this.
