bawfuls posted:Cricket is the perfect sport for people who bemoan the increase in home runs and long for the days of small-ball and great defensive plays. There are way more balls in play and fielding without gloves is aesthetically impressive. Alternatively, if you're a NEVER BUNT HIT DINGERS person, you can watch Big Bash League or other T20 competitions. Truly a sport for everyone

the dude has been incredible but he doesn't even have a full MLB season yet. I...cannot think of a comparable extension in that regard

Johnny Bravo posted:14 years drat Has there ever been a guaranteed contract that long for that much money in major sports? The NHL gives out long rear end deals all the time but never for that amount. The NBA gives out a ton of money but over the short term. Good for Tatis but if he blows a knee out in year two... yikes.

If Tatis is what he looks like that ~$24M AAV is going to be a hell of a bargain.

Jesus Christ. Like, Tatis owns and is great for the sport so I get why you'd wanna sign him, but 14 years? That seems insane.

14 years is long as hell but good for him getting a contract like that instead of one like Acuña's I'm curious to see what the Nationals would be willing to pay for Juan Soto now

I remember Bonds' 7/49 deal when he jumped ship to the Giants and how it was plastered over ever magazine cover as the greediest player to ever ruin baseball by wanting to be compensated as the... checks notes... first-ever and reigning 3-time MVP. That's a 7 year/$86m deal in 2021 dollars, or $12.2 AAV. For a three-time MVP entering his age 28 season. e: upon further research, he was only a 2-time MVP, and came in second in between. (he immediately won another MVP his first year in SF)

Does anybody know if mlb.tv will still be blacking out Jays games in all of Canada for 2021 season? Can't seem to find anything other than the policy was "starting in 2020". Checked the mlb website and used their 'check your blackout restrictions' thing and all it told me was I wasn't in the USA. Cool! I was using a vpn to get around it last season but it was kind of annoying and stopped working near the end of the playoffs. Not sure if they were cracking down on vpn's in general or if they were extra vigilant about it during the postseason

If he blows a knee or whatever and literally can't play baseball, the insurance on the contract will cover it.

Manfred and other owners must be furious how blatantly the Padres are blowing up their carefully curated “poor small market owners” narrative.

2400 hrs a year probably is being done for tatis but that is a stupid way of looking at it . Bauer is stupid so Also the hourly rate for work done at that level is probably closer to 2500-3000 an hour total including all the people and overhead etc

I guess Bauer is suggesting a union negotiated salary scale based on seniority which would drastically reduce his agent costs if he has one
