I'll bet a ban on ever visiting any baseball-related website for the rest of my life that he gets more than that. And if you're now saying you didn't mean that, why even bring it up as a possibility?

Dammit. See you all.

If he owns it when he’s wrong— like calls himself out— it’s fine.
He lives in NYC. He can't help it. Being an insufferable ass is part of living in that wretched city.

Yup, that's all it was. Just having fun.

And I am on record as saying mikolas will have a better season than darvish. So feel free to make sure no one forgets this.

How easy?
Congratulations.

Be sure to be as loud and proud when the Cardinals team physician announces that the ganglion growth on Mo's ball sack is technically called a dmarx.

We know there wasn't much interest in him at the deadline.

If he tops out at 3 years, $36 million, taking the qo becomes a possibility.
Mike Leake got 5/$75 million...and you think Lynn is going to come in at half the total contract price? I doubt it.
I don't think you read my post correctly.
No, I read it correctly. Due to the market, I think Lynn will command significantly more than 3/$36m and is a lock to reject the QO.

I will say that there isn't a whole lot of wiggle room in their payroll for 2018 (looking at BR) so I doubt they sign Lynn to come back. I think the Cardinals will make him a QO, and just take the draft pick. I also doubt there will be any big acquisitions (ie: big bat, big arm)...and this will be another year to fill from the farm, give our youngsters a chance, which is fine. I just wish they'd come out and say it.
Must be a different market.
Eh, I was half-ish correct...Good call dmarx114
