  1. deal. i'm happy to pay for joy. won't be the first time.
  2. honestly this is the playbook since Jan 1993 with Rush Limbaugh holding down the fort before Fox News was even off the ground. It accelerated with Fox dominating the mainstream broadcast news industry in the decades since.
  3. same. I'm still excited for new beginnings and the new season, but even my homer-vision is cloudy for 2025. I don't see this lineup going very far and it's more likely this is an 82-win team or less that misses the postseason than a 90+ win team that challenges for the AL title.
  4. I've been talking about this for a long time to friends and acquaintances whenever I hear them laud Elon and Tesla. It's especially relevant now that all these Elon incels are breaking shit right and left under the guise of "dEeP stATe" bullshit and only have the ability to do so because of Elon's massive wealth, which (as I've argued many times) is inextricably linked to TSLA stock which is wholly dependent upon these passive income carbon credits, all of which would not exist but for the Deep State's Clean Air Act and regulation by the EPA.
  5. erm ackshually.....more like 3.5/4 year difference. Correa didn't turn 28 until Sept 22 2022 so he was playing most of that season for the Twins as a 27 year old. Bregman turns 31 on March 30, three days after the Red Sox season opener. Correa's situation afforded him more leverage at that age than Bregman. But yeah I think he's betting on himself to kick ass in 2025 and eyeing an opt-out next offseason with a bigger payday.
  6. my 18-team fantasy football dynasty league does this. It's a fun twist on ff.
  7. yeah the one that got away was Uncle Charlie
  8. he's not getting those deals at that age though. He might get one 12-15 mm deal but no way is he getting the numbers you're throwing out here. Go look at that list.
  9. recent history disagrees with you. very few 33/34 yo non-pitchers get 50+ mm dollar deals in free agency. (as I wave at Christian Walker..) https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/contracts/_/position/b/sort/signed_age/dir/desc In the end he probably did us a favor though as it looks like our offer was a massive overpay.
  10. not happening at 34. Very few 3b command that kind of contract at that age. His best bet is having a monster season this year and opting out for a Matt Chapman-like deal that pays him 5 or 6 years at an AAV of 25 million per year.
  11. assuming he doesn't opt out in any of those years, he will hit free agency again at 34. I don't see him commanding a multi-year 36 million or more contract at that age unless he cranks up his performance significantly.
  12. we put more money on the table so yeah I can
  13. Maybe, but I disagree and think he's gonna fall off a cliff. He hasn't sniffed his All-Star days. He's a good player but he's also 30. He had a guaranteed 156 in hand and took way less to bet on himself as an aging player instead of staying in Houston where he's loved.
  14. In which case it's smarter to take the Astros offer. He didn't want us anymore. Fuck him.
  15. Fuck you Alex dead to me
