Teams should make it a buy out instead of an opt out.

Sure, you can become a free agent after three years, just pay us the 9 million and buy out the last three years of the deal.

Yeah the opt clause seems more like an extensive clause then anything if we both like what your are doing we can extend the deal another year but not really opt out of any money due except like a vry small penatly. I thinks Sale's is like 500k or something.

No idea why someone would want to join the class of '18.

I think this would put Cueto coming out after 2017, if he exercises the option. The big group of superstars that will be heading into free agency all in the same off-season will be after the 2018 season, I believe.

I doubt he would is the problem

It depends what he does the next two or three years. If he puts up back to back 40-50 homer season and hits .270-.280 he could decide to and then as a team you wouldn't but if he hits .220 with 30 homers he wil just keep the contract. This opt out clauses are hugely an advantage for the player. I should have try to get my wife to do one of them after 5 years if I feel I could get a better deal i could just opt out but if i go down hill she just has to deal with me. I am not sure how well that would go over though.

      Snell vs Burnes

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      I also went with Burnes because of his better durability. Since 2019 Snell has pitched more then 128 innings in a season one time (180 innings in 2023). While Burnes has pitched over 167 inning or more every season since becoming a full time starter in 2021. Burnes is also two years younger so in theory while a six year contract is riskier it would end at the same age as Snell on a four year deal. I'd be happy with either one, but my preference in Burnes.

      Adding that I would go for Roki over either of them.

      I'd go for Snell. He has true Cy Young stuff. Burnes is really good but his K rate keeps dropping and the years scare me. The box score for his playoff start was solid but he actually gave up a lot of hard contact. I just don't trust him enough to commit all those years and dollars.

      I go Burnes because to me the higher floor is very important with this sort of deal. I feel like Snell's skillset is more on a razor's edge-- if you didn't like how Burnes pitched in August, Snell is almost certainly more prone to stretches of poor performance like that. Even if he is more dominant at other times to balance it out. Plus, the extra length of Burnes' deal is offset a bit by being 2 years younger.

      Snell is injury prone and Burnes is a tough workhorse.

      Didn't see the video? The ball went maybe 15 feet before it bounced, it was rolling by the dugout.  It was nothing and the Dodgers look soft. Was he supposed to let the discarded ball stay on the field?

      Rojas pulled from the bases in the 3rd inning after he couldn't manage 2nd to home on a Mookie single (and Ohtani couldn't 1st to 3rd behind him) as the Dodgers try to dig out of 6-1.    Rojas' limited mobility hurt the Dodgers defense on a Bogaerts ground ball where Merrill was too quick going first to second, and Rojas ended up getting no outs on a routine ground ball. Manny with a cagey zigzag baserunning move during the Padres 6-run inning off Buehler, getting into Freeman's throwing lane to put Buehler into the jam. Teoscar grand slam brings it back to 6-5 in the 3rd inning...get your popcorn ready.
