Young players please stop doing that. I mean I get it, it's guaranteed money but 8 years is a really long time.

Also you know you're getting ripped off if the Pirates are like "yeah sure we'll sign you for 8 years at that rate".

Finally catching up with the baseball thread and all the offseason signings and stuff. Giants had a quiet offseason, I guess, but I'm happy we brought back Wood and Disco. I never believed in Carlos Rodon, I saw too many games where he was wild as hell, but can't argue that he was fantastic last year. Signing Joc is good for trolling Dodgers fans if nothing else.

Kris Bryant in a Rockies uni is bizarre.

Universal DH owns. Can't wait to see some of the lineups Kapler comes up with this year.

Oh and the players got hosed in the new CBA. Oh well.

On the plus side it's 40 degrees and wet at Wrigley today and the Brewers are fresh back from hot and sunny Arizona, so Kyle should have some help keeping runs low. On the minus side it's 40 degrees and wet at Wrigley today and the Cubs are fresh back from hot and sunny Arizona, and are facing the reigning NL Cy winner so lol.

Hayes is gonna be a goddamn stud if he can stay healthy, that's a loving phenomenal contract for the Bucs.

Not a fan of extending guys before they have sustained success at the MLB level. Puts a lot of pressure on them and makes it harder to send them down to work on stuff if they struggle. Hope he kicks rear end though.

Hayes is the everyday third baseman and has been for 2 years. They're not sending him down to work on anything regardless of what happened with the contract

Thankfully, the Cubs are running out of beloved players that they can trade away at the deadline, so at the very least, it will suck less on that front. The team will absolutely be worse than last year.

He hasn’t played a full season . Like in Total

Or do you mean he’s not a prospect because he’s never expected to be any good

Even in his limited playing time he's amassed 4.2 WAR, lol. Find me even one other player who's done that who you still consider a prospect and we can talk.

The Yan Gomes signing felt like the Cubs were getting ready to trade Contreras and it'll probably happen this summer which is really lame.
