The Cardinals let Wong go because they didn't wanna pay him 11.5m next year :v:

Everyone on a team option is about to get released and the owners are going to cry poor :rip:

I'm quoting this because this is obviously where we are going. Every single player with a team option will be released and the extra amount of quality free agents will suppress
the market. This will enable some teams to re-sign those same players to lesser deals. Also i would make un unreasonably large bet that this year not 1 player is offered the qualifying offer before hitting free agency. Only have one rule if their salary was already within 20% of that offer i'm not counting those players.

Edit: Just to use an example.

Braves paid Ozuna something around 18 million this year, the qualifying offer is around 18 million this year. If they don't re-sign him of course they will offer him the QO.
The amount is getting high enough that combined with loss of revenues no team will ever offer it again to a player they wouldn't actually pay....in order to get a draft pick.
Those days are over and of course next CBA it will be gone anyway.

What? This is great for the Mets. Unless i'm mistaken, suspended players do not get paid.
Incoming huge 1 year contract offer for Baur.

After the first heartbreak all the rest get easier, it's not so bad.

The NL central is legit all sorts of bad right now. Cubs your fine. Geesh, do any of you even watch baseball?
Not saying any of this is right or good for the fans. The division is full of teams under performing, losing players or making questionable decisions.
If i had to bet on a division winner right now, it might be the Cubs.

Is it possible he got hit in the head with a line drive? i remember legit thinking he was cool way back in 2003. I just can't understand what happened.

Possibly many of us on this forum were online gamers back then and were completely fooled by this asshat.
