You keep beating on a drum that nobody else can hear, because it's an imaginary drum. It doesn't exist.

[Broad Street]

I know we don't have enough to go out and get Strasbourg, but I could dream.

[Lou]

damn,B.

beat me to it

[Angel Oracle]

Wait a year, and if Zimmerman is an available FA, sign him if it's not for an outrageous amount.

 

Good luck paying $210 million Nats, for a guy with 3 good seasons under his belt.

Insane contract. So glad halos are smarter these days. Keep adding young, cost-controlled arms, Dipoto

Nats moved up in Vegas to 5-1.

Dogs are 2nd best with 6-1 and the Angels are 8-1 to win it all.

What about the cubbies

[Brandon]

They showed the top 10, but I just saw where the Angels were and left.

I'm sure you can pull it up on a sportsbook.

I'm glad LAD didn't sign him. Then Arte would have felt obligated to throw $175M at Shields.

 

I really don't think that Arte is going to commit to another mega-deal contract until he's settled his situation with the City of Anaheim. 

[Sherlock31]

A stupid deal if you ask me.............

 

Fister, Strasburg and Zimmerman are just as good as Max and they are younger

 

Why trade one of the younger one and give someone who is probably have only 3-4 good years left to a 7 years 210 Mil?

 

Max is a power pitcher, he's going to become the next Verlander not Maddux.

when has Arte thrown obscene amounts of money at a SP after the dodgers signed one to a huge deal?

Zimmerman and Fister are FAs after this season

[Sherlock31]

Zimmerman and Fister are FAs after this season

I don't think those 2 are asking for 7/210

 

I'd spend the money on those 2 rather than Max if you ask me

[Lou]

signing Scherzer doesn't mean that they won't keep the others.

 

that's why they structured the deal that way, imo

[Lou]

Fister is about 6 months older than Scherzer

for those not familiar with Bonilla's deal...

 

 

"It's July 1, so that means Bobby Bonilla got a check for $1,193,248.20 today, just as he will every July 1 through 2035. That's due to a deferral clause from when the Mets bought out the final year of Bonilla's contract before the 2000 season.

The deal was signed by the Marlins in 1996, but Bonilla was traded to the Dodgers in the 1998 blockbuster that involved Gary Sheffield and Mike Piazza. Bonilla was later flipped to the Mets. He then only played 60 games in 1999, hitting .160/.277/.303, so the Mets saw fit to get rid of him before the 2000 season instead of paying him $5.9 million that year."

 

[TheHeathen]

So what does that come out to, like 40 mil?

Yep. 42 million.

He's a troll, don't take the bait.

[Sherlock31]

And he's not the one that's on the trading block.

[Lou]

you never specified which of the 3 you listed you were

referring to so i assumed you meant all 3
