Still crazy Keuchel is floating around. Just give him his 3 year/ 60mil and get on with it. Is there really going to be much better pitching at trade deadline ehen you have to give up valuable prospects instead of just cash?

Would Kuechel even take that?

Eh guess he would. Thought he was better than that.

I don't really have anything to say that hasn't already been said, but wtf is this ozzie albies deal? That is just such a brutally bad deal for him it's unthinkable how this got signed.

The players union should block that deal somehow. ****ing criminal. I'm fine with the strike in 2 years.

Supposedly he's looking for 4 or 5 years at near 100 mil. That isn't happening.

The only thing I can think of is that it locks up some money early via signing bonus or something.

Yeah for sure. Higher present-day value (i.e. signing bonus and more up front money) for someone who didn't lock up life-changing money when he first signed makes it slightly less unreasonable than if it's a typical structure but this is a huge steal regardless, especially for a team that didnt spend anything this winter.

Gotta say it's fun to watch the Angels play well. Of course it won't last but let's live in the moment.

Easy money again tonight. Take Mustgroove(9ks, 6ip) and Pirates against Cubs/Q.

I actually liked Quintana before the trade as everyone did, and have no idea how the Cubs ****ed him up, but I like Musgrove more. Guy was filthy with the Astros and he looks like he walked straight out of a trailer park. Also, cubs are a mess in eery aspect.

I'm the biggest defender of not giving out stupid money and of teams but the Albie deal is indefensible. Wtf??? He would have gotten more in arbitration

His family has been poor forever, so the Braves get to exploit that in negotiations.

Also, this for po countries' players being exploited.
