And money is falling out of the sky. $43 mil. will probably be more then the entire A's payroll  

If things stay the same it could be higher than the entire Orioles payroll

I listened to MLBN Radio for about 10 minutes around 11 AM. Steve Phillips said Yankees need to press hard on Judge. Don’t want others to fall off board before he makes a decision. Said Yanks like Nimmo.  They need to have fallback options. 
 

My guess is he stays in NY.

Well Orioles aside looks like a good week for baseball. Ton of action. Glad to see it. 

I think Judge will be next big signing.

I agree as far as position players go. You have all the big SS options. 
 

Rodon will be the curious one. I could see a team giving him stupid money.

If we had offered him 3 guaranteed years, he might have actually signed here. Oh well.

A guy at his age wouldn't have signed here.  He was simply looking at probably the 5 teams with best chance to compete for a WS, and then most money.

3 years at what 140 million?

Crane said he wanted the Scherzer deal. We should have made him turn it down.

At end of day they aren’t going to get anyone on a deal we all love. That’s the reality. 

Here's a litany of bad money gone over good/great players--the brutal reality of "the market":

And the Dodgers, Yankees, or Rangers will give it to him.

I'm in.  Let's go top flight and not worried about the injury history (this is my opinion, feel free to not like it).

One hell of a risk.

I would have made him turn it down all the same.
