  1. I believe that contract is over now anyway. And he could sign for whatever another team would pay him .
  2. I'd be just fine with them signing Bauer. Fuck the BFIB moniker. fucking morons generally.
  3. There should be no reason other than not thinking Trever Bauer wouldnt be able to perform to a contract to sign him. All this morality bullshit is just that. He got fucked royally by this woman and really by MLB. I hope he sues MLB, the Los Angeles Dodgers and anyone else who black listed him and he wins a shit ton of money from them. I also think on a 1-2 year deal, Trever Bauer is the kind of pitcher you go out and sign, fuck it, go up to 22 AAV to sign him and I see no issue from a baseball perspective. I would rather win baseball games, not morality points.
  4. Teams should be lining up at the door to sign Bauer, fwiw.
  5. Right but a vesting option doesnt normally change the value of the contract, just vests the option at whatever dollar amount there was for it.
  6. No performance based incentives is what the 4 million was. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/miami-marlins/jorge-soler-10723/ Per their data, the 4 million was earned in 2023.
  7. Sportstrac has the opposite, that he earned the money in 2023 based on things he did in 2023. Which is how it normally is end of day. If the salary in 2024 was tied to 2023, then that truly was a weird contract on many levels.
  8. I want to know how Avi Garcia didnt make the cut, tbh.
  9. i.e. they were to be earned in 2023 for what he did in 2023, not sure if there were any incentives for 2024 performanace, but you cant assume those.
  10. I believe he already received those incentives.....
  11. no, he actually declined the 9 mil option, which was ALWAYS happening unless he could pretty much not play baseball at any effective level anymore.
  12. Astros continue to just always do the dick move. Never stop Astroing baby!
  13. as long as its not your team right? lol
  14. I'm going to vomit if the only real pitcher my Cardinals sign is Aaron Nola.
  15. They will still beat the St. Louis Cardinals if the DeWitts are still going to be fucking cheap though.
  16. The Rays even tipped Joe off to that opt out clause if I recall, which obviously makes you go hmmmm
  17. But its true though. Brewers offer anything close to 8 mil AAV for him to manage, he probably stays. Bruce Bochy just kinda proved though that managers do matter when it comes to the playoffs, no matter what others might want to tell you, tbh.
  18. Brewers should have met the price and Craig would have stayed. It was reported that the biggest sticking point to Craig going to New York was family and leaving his upper Midwest home. Now he doesnt really have to do that.
  19. That would require Bruce Sherman to actually open his checkbook. If he were serious about changing the narrative, Luis Arraez for one is signed to a long term deal sometime before the winter meetings. I'll let Bruce show his hand on this one...
  20. Thats a fair approach as well at this point in time as well.
  21. I dont recall saying that. The Marlins ALREADY have plenty of payroll flexibility, they have nothing really bad on the books other than the Avi contract which in the grand scheme of things isnt that bad from a financial standpoint if you look at the BIG picture.
  22. I come from a mindset of the only thing that ultimately matters is that piece of metal as the Commish called it. Its wonderful to just get there for a few years, but at some point... you gotta have something meaningful to hold onto. Hooray regular season titles that nobody actually cares about. My biggest complaint is just that this sets up the Marlins to justify jettisoning players that are getting ready to cost money because it doesnt fit in with the draft and develop mindset. Just saying that dont necessarily expect to see big dollar extensions for any guy as they are entering into that time of their career. Thats how you build a system, the jury remains out on how successful it is if your acutal long term goal is to win a title.
  23. AKA, we want to have a lower 1/3 of payroll and this is how to justify said low payroll.
