I agree that we will continue to see a trend of fewer long term deals for older players but I'm not sure it's going to become more pronounced than it already is. I am sure the Yankees knew the Judge deal is likely to end up badly and yet here they are.
I do think you will continue to see more young players extended which I think is good for the game.
You did see the part about the offense averaging almost a run more per game right?
And, as I am sure you are aware, I was talking about Cano going forward.
Obviously the unreal stretch he had early in the season was helpful.
I think Reinsdorf has a disproportion amount of influence and he's pushing for it.
I also think enough teams, to include the top markets, would push back on this.
I doubt anything comes of it.
