I can see why the Cubs tore it all down

They should've been able to keep those guys. Baseball is just better when a gang like that can stick around. The CBT needs to be a lot higher, and really the last thing baseball needs is another expansion. If I had supreme executive power that wasn't merely given through some farcical aquatic ceremony, I'd probably go back to 26 teams.

Baltimore would be one of them under the microscope. But hey, if they want to sign Correa for no good reason and weaken the Astros, I'll thank them for that.

Joc to Giants

 

 

 

 

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

What is going on?

Legit wondering - there's a financial reward in the CBA for teams that grow their market, they're able to keep more of the locally generated money that would originally have gone to revenue sharing. I don't know the numbers, but if a local market is sending $100 million to revenue sharing and they're able to keep an extra 20%...they boost their revenues and add in a big bonus.

Wow after looking at these contracts and the teams that are signing them, I think it’s best that Hahn holds off until the trade deadline. Just trade for one of Oakland’s pitchers and maybe sign Pederson and call it an offseason. 

edit: We’ll there goes Pederson as I was typing this.

More importantly, which teams still might have interest in Conforto?

My suggestion of trading for a right fielder, on a cheap contract, in his last year before free agency, is looking more appealing, by the minute. These contracts are just nuts. Save the money, maintain longer term flexibility and see what we have in Colas. Some of these contracts might be shopped, in the not too distant future.

Conforto may have to settle for an opt out deal since boras gonna ask for 5/125 now after this deal

Yeah, giving 4 years to Conforto doesn't seem so crazy now does it Hahn?

Find a cornerstone and build around him. Sorta reminds me of what the Nats did with Werth

I was assuming they were out having signed Schwarber.

Hahahah there goes another backup plan.  Just sign Conforto already.

Notwithstanding Bryants deal, I'm starting to think Comforto might go for a 3yr w/opt out after 1st or 2nd yr. Maybe 3/$54-60 ish? Sox might be flying under the radar here.

 

 

If Conforto is seeking an opt out, it 100% won't be with the Sox. JR isn't going to sign off on that.
