Spotrac has 7 teams above $250M which would generate $454.895M divided between 21 teams. That averages to $21.662M per team they can add to their...
I guess I'm not explaining it very well. I'm saying teams need to have a certain minimum payroll to qualify which prevents owners from using...
1) Kikuchi is the most likely opening day starter. Since he is left handed, I expect Cam or Dezenzo to start in RF instead of Cole. If any of...
I posted this in detail 1-2 weeks ago. I do not suggest that all revenue share money go players. I only suggest this regarding fines for going...
Parity is necessary because fans pay and provide the revenue. Parity helps grow fanbases which grows revenue.
I understand that is the real world we live in. But baseball is a sport. Competition should be a much bigger factor than profits. I realize its...
Agree to disagree. And I don't want an injury to be the solution.
On paper what you say makes sense, but all 5 infielders and Yordan want and expect to play everyday. There is no place for that unless one of them...

I'm sure the Brewers would love to get Yelich's contract off the books, even in exchange for Walker. Yelich would be awesome for the Astros and...
Agreed. The position player roster went from a C - to a C That is because of Joey's versatility and ability to be sent to AAA if necessary. The...
If Vasquez was valued at over $2-3M he would have has a deal weeks ago. Pitchers and catchers have already reported and the...
Joey was actually projected to be in AAA. Toronto has a much deeper roster of position players, even with Santander's injury. Maybe he would...
I understand your opinion but this is the thinking that will cause MLB to lose games, maybe even an entire season, and fans. The game might not...
Maybe this gives enough salary relief that they bite the bullet and absorb some of Walker's salary to deal him? In a vacuum I would like to keep...
