Chicago White Sox Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I got to be honest, baseball kind of sucks when the Mets can roll with a +$300M payroll. Really fucking lame. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Sox with Jerry as the owner have no shot in this environment. Mets also just signed Robertson. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The AAV seems pretty fair but I don't think a lot of people saw a 30 year old Nimmo getting 8 years given his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams at the bottom who refuse to spend are a much bigger issue for competitive balance than what the Mets are doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to boo him and not attend games. Fans need to take a stand. Jerry's penny pinching is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra year doesn’t matter. It’s a way to keep the tax total slightly lower, if it helps you to think of this as $150/6 or even $150/5 that’s fine, anything after that is a bonus. The goal is to put a successful championship team on the field in the next 2-3 years. If they do, this more than pays for itself, and you’re already paying Scherzer and Verlander for those years and on them this is a rounding error/ The White Sox should have been in a position making moves like this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but at the end of the day it’s MLB’s CBA that allows poor teams to cake in revenue sharing money and for rich clubs to spend without limits. It’s beyond broken and I say that as fan of a franchise not horribly impacted by that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Ok, I understand my team is cheap but this right here is drunk spending. No way this guy should have got anything North of $120 million. WTF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Yeah I woulda bitched a little if he signed somewhere for 120 or under…but no way we could/should have competed with this kind of offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 $18 million for Grandal is a lot more palatable after all the drunk spending happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
