I figured that once the team moves to Nashville folks will stop worrying about Davis.

Braves tanked for three years (2015-2017). That's only if you consider 90 losses tanking.

We don't know that the team would agree to one.

Two years? Folks will be bringing up the deferred salary for the next decade.

All played in the majors before they were traded.

If a guy signs for second round money in the fifth round I question why he wasn't just selected by a team in the second round.

Play him on the road in every spring training game and then never let him off the bench once the regular season starts. Just act like he isn't there.

I predicted he was going to say something of the sort. Does that count as talking about it?

The opposing pitchers are also having a good time.

Why would a national scouting supervisor with the Red Sox take a job as an area scout with the O's? Wouldn't that be a step down?

I find it refreshing. Much better than what he was saying before.

I've been surprised how much support he gets on r/baseball. Maybe these current statements will change that.

Basically I don't trust the owners to act in good faith. I think they have a real opportunity to work out a deal for 2021 and the next CBA at the same time and instead they are going to flub it.

What I think is going to happen is that ownership will try and leverage this into a more advantageous deal for themselves. I also think that if they play a partial season at pro-rated salary that players will be pretty agitated from the start and will be less willing to compromise.

I know, when I stated it before it was three years. ? I feel pretty confident that I'd take an 80% buyout and be on my way. I wouldn't just walk away from it, they'd have to pay me.

And a potential lockout/strike in 2022.

Not if Elias won't promote them.

My hope for Chris this year is the same as last year, that he shows up to camp looking like fat Thor and dares the team to do something about it.

I've stated before that I would be more than happy to give 20% or so back if they would release me and I didn't have to show up for the last three years. In my eyes that's a great deal. Still get more money that you should ever need and can retire in your early 30's. I'd much prefer that over actually having to show up and deal with all that travel.

The sons maybe.

Yah!

He probably will. ?

Probably would have.

I looked it up decades ago due to the Gabriel song I posted.

That is saying that the difference is Jetsam was intentionally jettisoned and that flotsam was not right? Because that has always been my understanding.
