"not worthy of its own thread" offseason thread

Then owners had better find a way to spend on superstars. It’s insulting to hear BDW pleading welfare as payroll goes down, revenue goes up, a mega TV deal kicks in and they got a big payout from the BAMTech sale.

I think they already are (with Trout and Harper being the examples).

I think the Hosmers and Martinezes of the world are going to have to be more content with 4 year deals instead of 7 year deals, if they want the average annual salary they covet.

I’m not even sure that Harper and Trout are getting paid enough.

Both are taking a discount to lock in big money.

[MrCrowesGarden]

Never take a discount.

[dmarx114]

Never take a discount.

I wonder what Allen Craig thinks about that?

I wonder what Chris Sale and Christian Yelich think about it.

It is nuts. The BAMTech thing would pay for half of that JD contract offer (unless that report is wrong). Or you could have had 3 Addison Reeds.

Say what you will about the dollar amounts of contracts, but it's about time teams started getting smarter to the term of these deals.
