For me, I personally thought A-Rod was exceptionally unlikable until it came out just how badly MLB and the Yankees were railroading him. All of that bullshit basically put me firmly in his corner forever.

How likely is it Stanton opts out after 2020? Whether he's on the Marlins or another team. He'd be walking away from 7/$218. Thirty million dollars a year will probably still be among the highest salaries in baseball.

Thirty million dollars a year will probably still be among the highest salaries in baseball. I mean maybe Harper really does get that record shattering 10/500 deal that sets a precedent for absurdly high AAV, Stanton continues to both stay health and play at an MVP caliber for the next 3 years, and he opts out for a better deal. My best guess is though he's not exercising it unless he's willing to throw away a significant sum of money to go somewhere else. Still another excuse to add to the pile for GM's to lowball the Marlins on trade offers.

Stanton will opt out if he remains healthy and continues to put up 6+ WAR each of the next three seasons. So, how likely do you think that is?

If I was Stanton I would stick with the guaranteed $218m, but then I'm broke as gently caress and furious my parents didn't mold me into a baseball playing ubermensch.

mlb.com posted:MLB sources have confirmed to me that the Cubs have spent significant time and money in their pursuit of Ohtani. The club has sent multiple scouts to Japan for weeks at a time and they have watched him pitch and play the outfield and they believe he can indeed do both on the north side of Chicago.

Predictable Ohtani short list: Dodgers Giants Mariners Cubs Yankees Some combination of big cities with Japanese populations, a track record of successful NPB->MLB transitions, mostly competitive now. Seattle and SF aren’t as good right now but have significant cultural factors that help. This could all be completely wrong if it turns out Ohtani doesn’t care about winning now, or being in a big city, or has a strong preference for one league, etc.

 OTANI BREAKING NON NEWS! HEADLINE - Otani, secretly-visiting LA! Meets with secret US delegation. Actual news - Otani secretly left japan last night, and arrived in LA were a car provided by his agent I would guess whisked him away. He has the Nippon Ham interpreter with him. The secret delegation is his agent, the Japanese media speculates he is having a preliminary medical check done by a agency doctor. Posting is expected to start on 1st US time, and take a maximum of 21 days. https://www.sponichi.co.jp/baseball/news/2017/11/30/kiji/20171130s00001007064000c.html https://twitter.com/nikkansports/status/936048520733253637 ScottyJSno fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Nov 30, 2017 |

bawfuls posted:Stanton's default state is collecting $295M on a team that is bad. So why does the threat of that continuing carry any weight with him? Well among other things, the Giants aren't run by cheap assholes who immediately decided to gut the payroll the second they came into ownership Which is why no one wanted to play for the Astros either (apparently Andrew Miller turned down more years/money from Houston to go back to NY)

She's already assumed that the Cubs will have clinched by then, that the White Sox will be bad, that Cubs fans will be gloating and that she will "have to start some poo poo".  This is funnier given that she's 5'9" or 5'10" and 120 pounds.

Reading his tweets today he was arguing with someone and said that Barry Bonds is the greatest of all time and should definitely be a hall of famer. That wasn't an opinion I'd expect out of him at all.
