Love going to that damn stadium man. Don’t get me wrong, Chavez Ravine is number 1 but petco is beautiful.

Oracle Park now
Can’t believe the Raiders might play the season there.
Word, Oracle Park?! And the Raiders might play there?!?! 2019 is crazy...

Jim Bowden made a good point. It might not be a bad move for Machado and Harper to be one year mercenaries and tell a team give me 1 year $35-40mil, and then go into Free Agency next year. There will be a team or two that it’s too good not to pass it up even if they are in the tax.
And I get the take guaranteed money now crowd, but they are not pitchers, as long as they don’t lose an actual arm or leg...They could go into next year and get a long term deal.

that sounds great on paper, but if you’re either of those guys, and you leave 150+ million on the table, you better hope you’re covered in bubble wrap and the injury gods don’t come see you

Yes. But like I said, they’re not pitchers, there’s very few injuries that would depress the market any more than it has been.
I guess honestly it comes down to what they’re actual offers are out there for them. There’s no way they can be much over $200mil right now if they haven’t signed to this point.

Been saying for weeks that I would be looking for a 2 year $90M contract if I was them.

What's to say this all just doesn't happen yet again in 2020?
At this rate, a 1 year deal isn't out of the question. Waste of time, but not out of their question.

It's happened 2 years in a row. My money is on it happening again in year 3.

Not a fan of this 3 batter minimum for pitchers being discussed.

I’m all for DH in both leagues but I agree the 3 pitcher minimum is a bit of a stretch right now.

3 batter minimum idea sucks. What if a guy throws a first pitch HR, then next guy hits another home run on the 2nd pitch.
Nahhh, that RP isn’t getting a 3rd batter or pitch.
Also I disregard the opinion of anyone who wants to see pitchers flailing around out there.

This. Much rather just universal DH and keep it moving.
If you really want a pitcher hitting, you make the necessary adjustments.

I wish the Mets would offer a 3 year 100-120 mill deal.

Watch a random team like the Mariners mess around and give Harper like 4 years/$180M.

Not a fan either but it’s also annoying seeing 5 pitchers in 1 inning. The analytics have managers over analyzing every single at bat after the 7th inning
