IGNORED

Rendon injured again, possibly out for season


Recommended Posts

Should be self-explanatory - dark red is already paid (not including 2024), lighter red is still to be paid/played (including 2024). Money is adjusted using an inflation calculator, from the first year of the contract to 2024 dollars.

I set it so that the $10M cells is slightly larger than 1 WAR, going with the idea that a free agent contract is "worth" roughly $8-9M per WAR, at least by market rate. So the idea being, that for a player's contract to be worth the money, the green part has to be about as tall as the dark red. All of these have fallen far from that, obviously. Matthews Jr produced -0.5 WAR as an Angel, but was paid $85M in 2024 money. But they're all bad, with Pujols being the worst so far. If he doesn't turn around, Rendon's will be similar to Albert.

hairline fracture of the left testicular region forthcoming.

Did you hear about the balding guy who cracked his skull? The doc said it was a receding hairline fracture.

I'm a dad now. This is me doing better. I can keep this up until my daughter starts the eye-rolling phase in 7 to 8 years.

Just a warning: Once that phase begins, it doesn't really end. Best you can hope for is "fond eye-rolling," but that probably doesn't kick in until late teens and maybe not until deep in their 20s.

They did, last season. And he split himself in two like a Popsicle and missed over half of the season. 

Freak accident,  kind of like Trout getting hit in the hand and missing the last three months of the season.
