  When you put it like that, yes, overpaid. What notable pro athlete isn't overpaid?    3-years of a 31-year old, switch hitter with some power at $20M beats the hell out of Hosmer at 5-7 years and the $22-25M he's commanding.

Schilling has the numbers, the hardware, and the big moments that put him into the HOF, easy. HOF is about contributions to the game, not how much the outside world thinks you're an asshole after you retire. If we're going to make "undesirables" ineligible, then might as well pull out Ty Cobb...

  Still the Pirates best pitcher but he hasn't been lights out in recent seasons. I saw MLB Network post something like he throws more than 70% fastball....whereas the Yankees pitchers last year relied on fastballs around 40%.  The belief is he'd fit well into the Yankees pitching philosophy, in...

The Yanks just gave him another $10M but CC is not serviceable as a starter for an entire season.

New, more Complicated QO system doesn’t require teams to surrender their highest draft pick anymore. Phillies surrender a 2nd round pick for the Santana deal but they gladly do it. Santana is a bargain deal when hedged against what Hosmer is asking for.

Yanks know pitching depth is what will put them over. Tanaka started the season with an elbow injury, they lost Pineda, and CC is no Spring chicken. It’s smart to plus up now. Will be more expensive to add starters in July.

He’ll be the best looking QB in shorts & a t-shirt

  Might finally be the offseason Boras's clients collectively lose. Like I said, many teams are turning to the trade market to address their biggest needs.  

Longo isn't overrated. He's played for a garbage market that only garnered national attention in 2008. He'll naturally regress heading into his age-32 season but the guy averages 160 hits and 80+ RBIs a season.  He's defensively sound and may stand to post better than 3.6 WAR for a couple...

Not a done deal but the Yankees will pull this off and w/o giving up Torres, Andujar, Florival, or Sheffield. Amazing job Cashman has done this offseason.   Joel Sherman believes the package to Pittsburgh will be Clint Frazier, Chance Adams, and Tyler Wade.

"Hot Stove" has been shit thus far this winter. I thought for sure we'd see a run on FA's after Stanton and Ohtani were done. More trade speculation that anything else. Thinking this is a product of Scott Boras clients and their unreasonable demands cogging the market.

Apparently the Cubs offered Russell, Almora, and Montgomery.  O's said no.  I'll say it now, the O's will get less when they panic and trade him at the deadline.

Jimmy looks fantastic but I'll reserve judgement. Even Matt Cassell looked like an All Pro in his first season as starter.   The 49ers still have a ton of holes to fill, but they are on the right track. I'd easily have taken chances with Jimmy over any of the QBs entering the 2018 draft. Foster...

  Seriously? College games are faster, higher scoring, and every Saturday features some insane finishes.  Even the atmosphere of college football beats the shit out of the NFL.    I love the Minnesota Vikings but the NFL is fucking garbage these days.  The game is softer, the networks litter...

Sorry man. Mets won’t be shit until the Wilpons are run out of ownership.

Dodgers are paying $33.6M in tax from last season. That’s a lot of f’ing money to surrender.

Cubs have plenty to offer, whether it be Addy, Schwarber, Caratini, Maples... I mean, is it your goal to just constantly go against the grain here?

It’s a dead rumor this point. Still think they end up with Billy Hamilton before Spring Training opens.

NFL really needs to add late-season bye weeks and get rid of this Thursday night shit.

Arroyo is from Tampa. He’s pretty stoked to play at home. Rays now have a huge surplus of Middle IF.
