    Great deal for the Phillies, but his agent should be fired.

    It's awful and probably based on teams not paying players who deserve it, fucking gross

    Looking at the whole deal it does appear he got pretty nice financial stability.

    FUCKIN SAVAGES IN THAT FUCKIN BOX Prestigious

    I'm not sure how much of a robbery it was, wish I saw his arb projection before he signed but I'm guessing it would probably be like 6-8 this year? I'm not sure. Imagine it would also have looked like a robbery if Matt Harvey signed the same deal at that point in his career.

    Def on players side, and a guy with that season should obviously have a way to make more money than the current system allows. 2nd to last year of arbitration for deGrom, he agrees to 17 mil after making 7 mil during his historic season. It's crazy

    Sounds like Ellsbury's feet still were bothering him during his rehab, still won't show up for weeks to spring training. Be surprised if this guy even plays another game

    Makes no sense. For a bigger contract in Cueto I've seen most often. Seems likely Ellsbury will start on the DL, nothing makes more sense than just cutting him once he's healthy and insurance won't be covering his salary anymore

    Not to mention he's shown zero budge from his no-trade which makes everything meaningless lol

    Imaging a timeline where Nola gets TJ or thoracic outlet syndrome and his career derails and he never gets that payday, it’s hard to fault him. It sucks there’s not a better way for players who just put up great seasons to get paid more. However, hard to fault him for taking guarenteed life-changing money

    Also, are signing bonuses immediate payments? Does Nola get a nice 2 mil once he signs the contract?
     
  19. no but i would have said that about the pre-fascist version of CHC. they just extra don't deserve it now

    @dotkevin

    I'm not really sure the Yankees want Ellsbury to play at this point. And the feeling may be mutual for all we know.
     
  21. Is there gonna be an organized FA-only spring training camp like last yr?

    Pretty sure you could field a team better than the Marlins with the FA's available

    Just like Tulo, that guy is also a huge bum. So glad my Jays dumped him.
