What is the point of a salary cap if you can pay off a small fine to make it go away? (NM) - Marlowe Feb 5, 06:48 1
- It's weak. The taxes/penalties do get rather high and harsh because you also lose draft picks but it's still something teams can get - Krusty Feb 5, 08:10
I'll read it in a second but to me this trade is a clear sign that MLB is broken. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 05:16 6

  - I know Betts said he wants to be a free agent but how hard did they try to sign him to an extension. If they offered $40m and many years -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 5, 05:34 4
    - After Harper / Machado / Cole deals. Who wouldn't want to be a free agent? -- nm* - budice Feb 5, 05:43 3
      - I get that and I can't blame him for wanting to see what's out there in FA. But if you're the Red Sox you have to go hard after keeping him - Krusty Feb 5, 05:52 2
        
        Just be happy that you guys have a cakewalk division now!!!! -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 06:09 1
        
        People are sleeping on Tampa Bay. Things will be much easier with Boston throwing in the towel but Tampa is a very good team. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 06:26
