The team that makes that deal may be more ****ed than the Judge deal.

Just had this conversation with a coworker who said he’d rather have Turner or correa if that’s the price

Let’s say the giants land him at 300/8 or whatever. Not ideal, the problem is Judge sure as hell won’t come with a player optout. Turner or correa almost certainly will. And probably after like 2 or 3 years which means the giants would likely have 1 year of total **** with them, 1 or 2 years of viability then watch them leave for the open market

At least with judge it’s 1 year of ****, 3 or 4 (fingers crossed 5) years of viability, then the remainder of the contract is past his prime sunk cost. They need a star badly but not one who will leave by the time they’re ready to be a contender. We signed rodon and what ****ing good did that end up doing

It's actually Amazing how often guys have an opt out and teams resign them when they shouldn't.
Perfect examples were Arod and Sabathia (the Yankees extended him to not opt out)

When they opt out they're often effectively giving you their best years at a contract they never would have signed originally (29 year old sabathia is never only signing a 4-5 year deal for example)

Degrom to rangers for 185/5

that’s an absurd amount of money for a guy who’s arm is going to fall off

My guess is no state tax played a role in his signing with them.

Mets probably give rodon something like idk 200/8 and come out of this so much better off than if they retained degrom

86/2 verlander to the mets

That’s….a choice

lolMets.

Uncle Steve prolly bid against himself on that one.

The Mets sure seem to love paying guys for what they did last year, rather than what they’ll do next year.

Hope isn’t a plan.

It is a virtue though.

Trea Turner to Phillies for 11/300 and a full no trade clause

Wow

Also reading rumors the Cubs are in on Dansby Swanson

Looks like 360/9 is the giants offer to judge

If that doesn’t get it done you can’t say they didn’t try

jesus, they're in the judge convo.

Ya I’ve always hated you, Heyman

Arson Judge is trending on twitter because he typo'd the orig tweet

it's fairly amusing

The sweet spot balls were mostly for Judge at-bats.
MLB giving the Yankees and Judge an unfair advantage...shocking.

Haniger to the giants

****ing love the signing. Now get judge too

txdome wildly postulating about an "unfair advantage".

At least he's consistent

Mandred hates baseball more than I hate soccer

Judge 360/9 to yanks

****ing die Heyman

And **** judge too that juiced ball using fiveheaded mongoloid

lol never a doubt he was staying

The Aaron Judge Sweepstakes!
