Not so sure about that. Its a big money deal with an opt out after two years and Colorado expects a big return.
Last I had read it seemed like there was no going back. I'll defer to ya here.

Pretty much a regular
I'd seen same, I saw one of the major guys say it was when not if too
Arenado feels disrespected

Reds have been a trendy pick this year for a big improvement, which usually foreshadows bad
But I like what theyve done

Good night, Duke, and sweet dreams!
Yep. I got suckered in on the Phils last year. Feels like the Reds and White Sox will be over inflated this year.
Wasn‘t really sure where to put this but i find it funny

Sources: Red Sox trading Betts, Price to Dodgers
The Red Sox have agreed to trade outfielder Mookie Betts and starter David Price to the Dodgers, sources tell ESPN's Jeff Passan. Boston's return includes outfielder Alex Verdugo and starter Kenta Maeda goes to the Twins in the three-team deal.

I think the Red Sox did quite well. Betts was not resigning there and getting Verdugo and the fat pitcher with the big fastball for one year of Betts is quite a nice job by the new GM Bloom.

I am just counting down the days till my team has to trade Yelich so I know what your going through. It really sucks being a fan of a small market team in baseball. Hopefully they somehow get a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement but I'm not counting on it.

i agree in theory but team like Yankees don’t care. If that what they have to do to have their ace for next few years they do it and just eat the money on back end.

Seems kinda curious they not doing much that I’d call aggressive while they have a superstar in his prime.

I was one of few around here incredibly happy cards didn’t trade for him: I honestly don’t think he worth what he making. You seen his splits away from coors?

The Brewers don't have the revenue stream to push payroll to the levels you are suggesting. They had a record high payroll last season and lost money.

Voice of Reason
I wasn’t really suggesting they add huge free agents just not letting all theirs walk. Unless they have young pitching I don’t know about coming soon I don’t think their staff good enough anyways. Just seems criminal to have the best player in the nl on such a team friendly contract and not fielding a winner.
what was that franchise record payroll? 120 mil? And they losing money? Jeez, Think I read each team got like 118 mil in revenue sharing in ‘18 so that doesn’t make sense to me.

They let Moustakas and Grandal walk and I can't say I blame them for not committing that much money or years to either of them. Every year the so called experts bash what the team does in the offseason and they usually outperform what is expected of them. At this point I trust whatever David Stearns does even if the moves look questionable on the surface.

i dunno what exactly they have accomplished to have so much faith but guess it cool you happy with them. We expect more around these parts

They are the smallest market in the sport and have made the playoffs two consecutive years and were one win away from playing in the World Series two years ago. David Stearns has done a remarkable job with limited resources. If this sport ever had a salary cap we would really have a great chance to be good most years.
The media can spend all day praising the Yankees, Dodgers, and Cardinals for being winning teams but the credit belongs to teams like the Brewers, Rays, and Indians who compete well with limited resources. The NFL is the best league because each and every team has the same chance to win unlike baseball where the Brewers have no chance to resign Yelich and the Indians the same with Lindor.

Cardinals payroll is rarely if ever top 10 so don’t think it fair not to give that front office credit. They have won with primarily home grown talent w some smart trades/acquisitions (in the past, not recently).
rays and Oakland are the class of small markets and it not even close Imo. Put either those teams in the nl central and they would own both our clubs!!
I was mostly just goading ya a little pal. Don’t take me too serious on the subject. Lol

Yelich is signing an extension with the Brewers.

Voice of Reason
i heard that. He still had 2 more years left on current deal didn’t he?
brewers888
Chicken Little
Actually three when you consider the option year.

Voice of Reason
so does the extension kick in after end of current deal or effective immediately?

I’m pretty certain that it just adds years to the current contract.
