  1. Well, he wants a 2/$60M with a 3rd year option essentially...
  2. While it seems unlikely this year will repeat last year, you use payroll to sign guys and trade them for prospects/additional pieces for next year if/when you're out of it, especially pitchers, which are always needed at the deadline. --- @TaiwanMarlins posted it above, but I was going to mention the deals the big remaining FA starters are reportedly looking for: Clevinger - 1-year deal, not sure of value Lorenzen - 2-year deal, has already turned down 1-year deals in the $5-7M range Snell - 2-3-year deal w/ opt outs and AAV in $30M range Montgomery - 7 year deal
  3. Don’t worry. Our pitching plans won’t change. They won’t sign anyone because why improve the team?
  4. More that there are potential options to upgrade some of the lesser players for not all that much but we’re rolling out the same group
  5. The pirates signed Michael Taylor for 1/$4M and the A’s just signed JD Davis for 1/$2.5M + $1M in incentives.
  6. Who'd have thought rolling out essentially the same lineup would produce similar results? Shocking!
  7. Yankees are now apparently interested in Lorenzen.....so now the miniscule chance we had there is gone. Also, Braves signed Duvall for $3M.
  8. Put Chipotle's salad dressing on the bowl, it makes it much better.
  9. I've been saying the same thing every year. And I feel this year may be even worse/that it's more needed given all the younger guys with innings limit issues and coming back from injuries (which I've been saying too). But he's the only one that's ever thought of it!!
  10. I did. It’s uncertain every year and every year they refuse to make preventative signings.
  11. Yup. We don’t need more pitching…
  12. Haha reminds me of the talk of....was it Olympic stadium where they supposedly turned the air on when the other team was up, and turned it off when the home team was up?
  13. AT BeeeeeeeeeKaaaaaaaay HAVE IT YOUR WAY, YOU RULE!! Yes, their ads are obnoxious
  14. Eh, I haven't been to BK in years because it was so bad. Maybe I'll try it again one of these days, but I'm just not overly inclined to.
  15. Yeah, that's what a lot of people have been saying. I guess so? It seems like it based on that image.
  16. Burger King is garbage - their fries are perhaps the worst on the planet - by far the worst of the fast food chains at any rate.
  17. https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/athletics/as-focus-on-fan-comfort-in-new-strip-ballpark-design-no-retractable-roof-3011874/ The 33,000-fan capacity stadium design features a fixed roof and tiered seating with unobstructed sightlines from every seat. The roof’s design features five overlapping layers, inspired by traditional baseball pennants, with the wall behind the outfield featuring the world’s largest cable-net glass window — facing the Tropicana Avenue-Las Vegas Boulevard intersection — with the Strip serving as the backdrop. Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) is the design lead, with HNTB serving as the sports/hospitality designer and architect of record on the $1.5 billion project. “We wanted a design that was unique and would fit in with the incredible innovations and excitement that is the Strip,” A’s owner John Fisher told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “Bjarke and I actually came in a little over a year ago, and we walked to the site, we went up to the Tropicana and we looked at the Strip from the roof and looked south, east, north and west and were just thrilled with the opportunity.” Plans call for the ballpark to feature an 18,000-square-foot jumbotron, which would be the largest stadium screen in major league baseball. The New York Mets currently have the largest — 17,400 square feet — at Citi Field in the burrough of Queens. They've smartly (IMO) dropped the retractable roof feature - I doubted they'd ever open it.
  18. I'm still stuck on the fact - of all the unhealthy faster-food type places you could eat at - especially with his income - why McDonald's? There are far better places.
  19. How does one go to McDonald's daily, especially as a professional athlete? Like really? You have access to literally whatever food you want, and you choose McDonalds.....every day?? And I get we all have our food vices, but that's crazy.... 1) McDonalds isn't good. 2) To me, no matter how much I like something, having it every day would take away from liking it after a while.
  20. Only the 857th time you've given up.
  21. Yup, I just posted at the other place, if his market has been limited, we should offer him a 1 + option year deal (maybe with some incentives to sweeten the pot for him), and hope Mel works his magic for improvements? Then if we're out of it this year, we can trade him for some prospects, and if we're in it, you keep him for the run.....and then if he opts out of the deal, oh well, we got that performance out of him for this year when we have a lot of innings question marks (IMO) with younger guys and injury guys on innings limits.....and then Sandy will "replace" him next year.
  22. He's apparently looking for a 2-year deal, FWIW
