White Sox signed Jon Jay. Apparently they think signing all of Machado's bum friends(Although Jay isn't terrible) will convince him to come to the south side.
If it works i'll laugh my ass off for about an hour. |

I don't think CHW will sign either of Harper or Machado. The recent history of winning isn't there and it isn't a cachet destination.
Predictions - Machado - Yankee Harper - Dodgers or Phillies Outside chance no one offers the 10/$300 stuff they envisioned then Nats keep Harper and anyones guess Machado. Cards get some scrub who hit 380 once in AA back in the 2009 season.

Brewers in talks with San Fran about MadBum. Giants want Corey Ray(one of the Brewers top 3 prospects) plus one of Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta.
I don't see that happening for 1 year of MadBum. If it was Ray+ other prospects, yes. Burnes and Woodruff should both be in the rotation this year and Freddy has an outside chance to make it as the #5. All 3 are young, proven to be able to pitch at the MLB level and are controlled for the next 6 years. I think that's too much for a 1 year rental. Granted you always start high when doing these deals, but i don't see him getting traded until the deadline. |

Granted you always start high when doing these deals, but i don't see him getting traded until the deadline. I doubt he is traded because teams realize his last two years are not ace caliber and want to get him for his current value. Which is also for a single year. SFs brand new GM doesn't want to have his first big move to be dealing away their "former" ace for less than ace return. Best bet for SF is to start next year with him and hope he returns to his more dominant self and then trade him to a team in need. |

If I had my druthers, and neither the union nor owners would eve go for it, it would go like this:
1) FA signings are from Jan. 1 to Feb. 15. 2) Whatever horse trading needs done has to be done by Opening Day, including moving around prospects and players that keep bouncing from the majors to AAA and back. You go to war with the army you have. Any gaps in the roster due to injures, illness, suspensions, etc., have to be filled from a team's farm system after that. 3) Payroll Tax is figured on the Opening Day average. Teams over/under that average pay a tax on what they do or don't spend above/below that amount. |

Winter is nearly over!!! Something Spent_Casing brought up was in a plan like what I, and others, brought up what happens to FA guys that don't get signed b the deadline? A) Tough shit. Lot of people can't find jobs in their field. B) Take it up with your agent because he isn't doing his job if he's overpricing you. C) Tough shit. Sell cars. D) Maybe you're good enough to get to the majors, but just not good enough to stay competitive with newer talent. E) Tough shit. Suck dicks at the truck stop for all I care. We all got troubles buddy and didn't make obscene amounts of money for a couple of years playing baseball. F) Become a talking head. G) Tough shit. Should have put some away for a rainy day. H) Coaching and managing somewhere are possible options. I) Tough shit. |

I dont want a strike but I think we're closer now than weve been since the last. Again strike is really bad for baseball and I dont want it, but I fear its gonna be inevitable in 3 years time.

I'm thinking the Luxury Tax and the Cheapskate Tax be something like 150% of the difference between the league payroll average and the actual team payroll.
Let's say the league average is 100m. This is the Tiger's payroll. The Red Sox tighten up their belt and come in with a paltry 250m for next year. So the difference between the average and their payroll is 150m. Times 1.5 means their tax alone is 225m. So their total is 375m for payroll. At the other end of the scale let's say the Rays spend a whopping 66m on payroll. So they are 34m under the average. They get taxed 51m for being cheapskates. Their total payroll is 117m. Something like that. |
