The relief under the tax threshold is now there. A couple of nickel and dime moves here and there is fine. They shouldn't have to make it their main staple for 2018, as long as Arte is willing to get to right at the tax threshold.
That's what happens sometimes, when you have a loser lifelong criminal for a dad who probably thought he was another Clyde Barrow.
Still doesn't excuse ANY of this, but could have contributed to it.
Still LOL at Dipussy and gang seemingly acting like they found Johnny Bench, when Taylor Ward was available to draft, generally 2-3 rounds before he should have been.
We can only hope that Pujols doesn't have yet another off season surgery. That way, if he can have a normal off season, maybe something solid can come from it for 2018 at least?
This would be real close to the tax threshold. Upton's offense is critical. It would upgrade the pen, and adding Chatwood helps the rest of the rotation getting used to pitching regular innings.
Concern with Cozart is if his recent success is an outlier. 2017 Moose would be great to have, but was the offense explosion also an outlier?
Especially letting Greg Robinson go, and bringing in perennial All-Pro OL Andrew Whitworth as a leader on the OL
No bueno having a bye while being on a bit of a roll, but their next opponent (Giants) also has a bye this weekend.
Dave Smith had a LOL gag segment when he was on 830am much earlier this decade, where he talked about his all-time NBA team with his co-host (last name Allen) and only had white players on it.
Ugh on re-signing NoStuffCo, who never, eeever found the stuff he had in Aug/Sept 2016
Chavez is a maybe, but only if he never, eeever starts a game and only gets $2 million max for 2018.
Arte seems to be real huge on loyalty, hence the 10 year Sosh contract and the lack of new contracts with opt outs.
Can't say that's all bad. Loyalty is a good thing, and maybe contributes to better team chemistry?
