Are there good apps to stream Japanese and Korean baseball games?

Could sign some young guys to long term contracts.
Who and for what?

Question about how they calculate the luxury tax. I know they don’t factor in deferments and take the yearly average. But how does the following work? Howie Kendrick signed a two year/10.5M deal. But the second is a team option. His first year is 4M, his second is 6.5M. They owe him $2.5M if they don’t exercise the option. So he’s guaranteed $6.5M. What is his number for luxury tax purposes? I know you weren’t expecting math, but is it $6.5M or $5.25M or $4M?

Gregorius to Philadelphia for $14M. Wonder if they move Seguria.

245 Million for 7 years of a 31 yo pitcher who has only topped 175 innings in 2 of the last 6 years.
Anyone think this contract will look good in 2 years ? Will it look good next year?
When will teams learn to stop paying for past performance and keep away from all Boras clients.
The bold is incorrect.
-
Just like the Werth contract set them back years. And then the Zimmerman extension crippled them financially. Then the big overpay for Corbin.
Take a look at Tyson’s. The Lerners aren’t running out of money.
Strasburg’s contract most likely will be an overpay in terms of WAR vs dollar, but it won’t stop them from spending more money, won’t prevent them finding international FAs, and won’t prevent them from drafting and developing.

Orioles options beyond a reunion with Cashner
Bettis is a guy one can root for in this lost season.

I guess they ran out of the money they saved up when they were bad.
Philly spent most of their prospect capital on Reamulto. I’d like to see how this works.

Oh, I think so. Mark Lerner said the other day they really couldn’t afford both. And at that price, I can see why.
Despite what Lerner said, they can still afford Rendon if they do a short term contract.
They got under the luxury tax last season and had about $90M to spend to match last year. Scherzer comes off the books prior to Soto and Robles go to arbitration.

7/$245 for Strasburg’s return to Washington.

I lol’d at Jackson wearing white sleeves yesterday.

The bar is really low, but they jettisoned a league average starter. Doubt they replace that. Is it fair to expect more from Means?

Marwin Gonzalez was a super utility player last season and he only had 425 ABs. I'm taking the under on Villar getting 500 ABs in 2020.
It’s about health. Gonzalez was unavailable for 18 games in late August/September first half. And was unavailable for another nine game stretch earlier in the season.

Think I’d rather have Freddy Bynum.

You can't carry any more than 13 pitchers. Which is kind of like a law saying that you can't have any more than 11 kids: philosophically annoying, but realistically it only impacts crazy people. If the Orioles were planning on carrying 14 pitchers we'd have bigger problems.
The team that won the World Series carried 12 position players for the majority of the season.
I was wondering if teams had that roster flexibility, especially if one group was heavy with non-option able players.
Thanks for answering the question.
-
Since this guy has positional flexibility, I’ll pose my question here. Does the new 26 man roster have conditions on it? In other words, is a team limited in the number of pitchers it can carry? I believe I read something about that, but wasn’t sure if that was the final rule.

if we're talking about ex-Phillies infielders, how much would Cesar Hernandez cost?
I would think he would be on the higher end of the nontender group. But I can’t figure out this 2B market.

This post would have been gold if you ended it with “than I’m doing ok”

Dodgers are looking at him.

This is a great article that shows the nuances of the calculation and its limitations, especially on the defense and base running side.
But the best part is that it discusses Drungo’s All-American JR House.

Should be a good return. LAA has a top 30 farm system.:"
He's right, Angels are definitely in the top 30 of 30 teams.What is this from?
-
The White Sox no attendance game.
Good examples mentioned above.
-
Aaron Sanchez was part of a package that brought back Derek Fisher at the deadline last year.
