  1. 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.
  2. He's apparently looking for a 2-year deal, FWIW
  3. After which he'll have his arm amputated.
  4. Who is JD Martinez? -The Marlins (probably)
  5. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/josh-donaldson-announces-retirement.html Josh Donaldson is retiring. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/phillies-zack-wheeler-contract-extension.html Phillies sign 3/$126M extension with Zack Wheeler
  6. This reminds me of those yearbook quotes they made up that you never said.... you'd open the yearbook with a photo in the hallway, and it'd be like "I love math class, the challenge excites me!" Meanwhile, I hate math and would never say that lol.
  7. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/giants-to-sign-matt-chapman.html The four-time Gold Glove winner has reportedly agreed to terms with the Giants on a three-year, $54MM guarantee. The Boras Corporation client can opt out after each of the next two seasons Chapman will receive a $2MM signing bonus and a $16MM salary in 2024, plus a $2MM buyout on the $17MM player option for 2025. If the third baseman remains in his contract through the 2025 season, he’ll have an $18MM player option for 2026 with a $3MM buyout attached. Should he remain in his contract through those three seasons, Chapman and the Giants will share a $20MM mutual option for the 2027 season, with a $1MM buyout if either party declines their side of the option.
  8. At restaurants, I feel like you at least get more quantity, though, vs fast food Of course they are - I'm sure they faced immense backlash at that idea. Except at 5 Guys, they give you like 800 fries, so you're at least getting your money's worth.
  9. I heard on the radio/news yesterday that Wendy's is considering implementing surge pricing for their menu - if there's a lot of demand, they'll raise the prices, and vice versa. How ridiculous.
  10. Sounds like a Marlins thing to happen.
  11. We have for some reason for the last couple years. Why not try again ?? What's the definition of insanity - trying the same thing over and over hoping for a different result?
  12. Didn't seem like there was much of a market for him.
  13. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/marlins-vladimir-gutierrez-agree-to-minor-league-contract.html The Marlins are in agreement with right-hander Vladimir Gutiérrez on a minor league deal, reports Francys Romero (X link). He’ll be in major league camp as a non-roster invitee.
  14. I mean.....his mantra is also to sign ALL the players..... a broken clock is right twice a day....
  15. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/20/fubotv-sues-disney-fox-warner-bros-over-sports-joint-venture.html Sports streaming platform FuboTV is suing Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery over their recently announced joint venture, citing what the company calls “extreme suppression of competition in the U.S. sports-focused streaming market,” according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNBC. The joint venture, announced earlier this month, aims to offer viewers a new way to access marquee live sports. It’s slated to roll out this fall, but several questions remain around its pricing and structure. “These horizontal competitors are colluding to create a JV that will cause substantial harm to competition and consumers,” the complaint says. The lawsuit also names Disney-owned ESPN and Hulu as defendants. “Each of these companies has consistently engaged in anticompetitive practices that aim to monopolize the market, stifle any form of competition, create higher pricing for subscribers and cheat consumers from deserved choice,” FuboTV CEO David Gandler said in a statement. “By joining together to exclusively reserve the rights to distribute a specialized live sports package, we believe these corporations are erecting insurmountable barriers that will effectively block any new competitors from entering the market.”
  16. basically. Who knows, maybe we'll finally get lucky with one.
  17. I mean, 1.75 would've been fine too lol.
  18. I'm glad we finally did something. It's ridiculous that it took this long. That said, if he can regain form, it'll be a good move. Given the Marlins track record of signing this type of player, though, he'll probably implode further and be out of baseball halfway through the year lol.
  19. Even the Pirates are extending guys.... https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/pirates-mitch-keller-extension-five-years.html The Pirates and right-hander Mitch Keller are in agreement on a five-year contract extension, Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel of ESPN report. It’s a $77MM guarantee for the 27-year-old righty, per Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Kevin Gorman of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the new contract includes the 2024 campaign and runs through 2028. Keller had previously been slated to reach free agency following the 2025 campaign.
  20. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/eric-hosmer-retires.html I wish I could retire at 34 (my age in June) having made $175M....
  21. That's because we give overpriced deals to guys that aren't that good.... I didn't even bother opening that article - aka they're counting on getting lucky again, and calling it a day. Who?
  22. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/brewers-gary-sanchez-restructure-contract-wrist-injury-physical.html Rosenthal updated his story today to indicate that Sanchez will reportedly accept a $3MM base salary with the potential to get to $7MM via incentives.
