  • Off season free agents

    It's amazing how much money there is to spend on these dudes. Gerritt Cole: $9,200 a pitch. Unbelievable.

    Yes, teams with loads of money will do almost anything to win. However I am
    sad the Dodgers were not able to score him. However they might get the
    former Giants ace Madison Burmbarger.

    I like him too. He could really help out. It seems like the Yanks, BoSox and Angels break the bank every year, and get to the dance, but not the crown. Middle market teams seem to do better to me.
    Bring your kids up from the farm, and after their 3 years and want the big contract, trade for more farm kids. Then do rent a player if you're in the hunt.

    If the Dodgers get MadBum, then maybe the Dodgers can re-sign Puig... (A
    free agent, I believe) (-;

    Maybe they CAN get along...

    Looks like he went with the D-backs. Not as much money as I thought either. But
    there was talk he was slowing a bit.

    I think our state taxes scare off free agents.

    It can be something to consider when offering these large contracts. Or it could be so big, what a million here or there? Texas doesn't have one, but you are sales, inventory, capital gained, state feed out the wazoo.
