That's an awful overpay. Who were they bidding against? |

Probably an awful overpay. 100% you don't give him 5 years. That's insane. |

I don't think the Dodgers were in on this, so who were they bidding against? |

The fact that the Cubs were never seriously linked to him despite Counsell being here makes a lot more sense if his agent got the Astros to choke that down. If I'm Jed Hoyer, I call David Robertson and ask him if he'd like $9M/yr to come back and set up for Alzolay, 1 year with a team option for 2025. |

I've heard speculation that Baltimore's new ownership group might tell the current ownership group to make more aggressive moves. We'll see if this move is part of a series of moves. |

I know deni$ loves to slob on the knob of Scott Boras, but it's interesting 4 of his major clients are still on the market. Bellinger, Chapman, Montgomery and Snell. I think the Boras era in MLB is over. The biggest deal in MLB history this year wasn't even a Boras client. |

I agree with you that it seems crazy, but we'll see what kind of contract these guys end up getting. Also, I assume he's doing this with their consent. If one of them said, "I'm tired of this, get me signed now," I suspect he'd do it. |

I think the Boras era in MLB is over. The biggest deal in MLB history this year wasn't even a Boras client. Boras is waiting on an owner to override his GM and offer stupid money. Like if the Phillies decided to make Bellinger an offer even though they have a perfectly acceptable young CF who is fine batting 9th. Or like how the Rockies gave Kris Bryant a Heyward-level contract to join a team destined to finish out of the playoffs for the entire length of the contract. I believe that Boras also represents JD Martinez, who is the guy I think the Cubs should go after if Bellinger isn't reasonable (and trade Morel to a team needing a 2B in exchange for young MLB-ready pitching). I also believe that Boras will start openly hinting at owner collusion pretty soon, which is funny because he's basically the ring-leader for collusion against the owners. |

Manfred is in favor of a short free agent signing period: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/02/ ... dline.html If Boras gets burned with Snell and Bellinger, the market will take care of the problem on its own. |

It looks like Giolito is going to be out for the season: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/ ... g-day.html I like the guy and was pulling for him to succeed, but he's had a bad run of luck since leaving the White Sox. |

What a stupid ass contract by the Red Sox, they could have had a Belli like deal with Snell. I guess they still could but their owner ain't spending. |

At least Jerry is transparently cheap; the Red Sox GM said they would be "full throttle" this offseason and their only FA signing was Giolito.

Snell, Montgomery, and Martinez still unsigned. I heard this morning that the chatter is that Snell is insisting on 2/66 with an opt-out after the first year if he doesn't suck. GTFO with that nonsense. Especially since he is going to need four weeks to get to game ready, so he will miss the first 10% of the season. |

The Giants finally caved, 2/62 with an opt-out although half of this year's salary is deferred out a couple of years for CBT reasons. Still, if Snell rejected 6/150 from the Yankees based on Boras' advice, he should beat the living shit out of Boras. |

Because once he casts the spell, you're done." Snell is completely happy. |

I know we watch players play and not general managers generally manage, but part of me just loves watching the players get told to f**k off when it comes to these huge contracts. |
