December 23, 20241 yr Author The Athletic has a blurb about us flirting with CBA trouble and risking a MLBPA grievance.We’re required to carry a luxury-tax payroll more than 1.5 times what they receive in revenue sharing. We’re getting roughly $70M next year, so we’d have to have a luxury tax payroll of $105M at the end of next season, and we’re currently at $83M.They go on to mention 45% of that $83M is unrelated to the current roster (players not on the team anymore or player benefits, pre arb bonus pool etc.).So at some point we’ll have to actually spend money. It’s ridiculous.

December 30, 20241 yr So many in Marlins Twitter land itself ejaculating themselves over the Mervis acquisition as of its really that significant for a rather insignificant piece. This should be a back page deal that is becuase its the Marlins front page news.

He’s still better than Brujan somehow though, another daddy dix stroke of genius
