What’s baffling to me is not wanting to add a guy to your lineup with a slash line of .286/.380/.552/.931 over a guy with one of .073/.078/.091/.170
Just fake a blister every game and come out whenever you want with unlimited warm up pitches, could be someone's calling card
If you think that is what I said, you are not reading for comprehension. It also does nothing to answer the question I posed, which was why you, and a few others here, seem to be so upset that one league has not changed its rules for one position like the other.
They still owe him like 65 mil on his current deal. Total baseball earnings will be around 575 million.
Only bad part about this is he doesn't get the pub he would be getting if he was further east. Might be the best player in the history of the game before all is said and done, is the exact personality baseball needs to be face of the game, and is on west coast.
