so the Cubs signed Arrieta to a one year deal, they better hope more providers pick up their tv station this season or they will be fielding nothing but AAA talent next season to cut costs (Marquee TV Network is why they shed so much payroll this offseason caus only 2 providers in Chicago actually carry it and its set them back close to a billion dollars to set up and run)

James Paxton went back to Seattle
Justin Turner went back to LA on a 2 year deal
Yankees look to be interested in LHP Justin Wilson and could snatch him away from Mets who I thought he was going back to. Would be a great BP piece to have since you have Chapman at Closer and Britton is the only other lefty in the pen

(For people in the US)
Anybody with a Sprint or T-Mobile phone contract, check your e-mails. They have just announced that their free MLB.tv deal is coming back for the 2021 season. Glory day.

14 years?! Good god. Might have left a little bit of money on the table if he is as good as he has the potential to be as this is the first and last big money contract he'll ever sign. Having said that, San Diego assumes ALL the risk. If he gets injured in 3-4 years, then they're left holding the biggest bag of all time. Like, look at Nomar's first 4 seasons and look where he ended up. Tatis is younger and has a higher upside, but it's still a possibility.

You can argue if he comes close to best player in the league level, he probably left at least $100 mill on the table However, that is a guaranteed $340 mill (assuming no opt outs) He got paid big bank and could probably fall off due to a bad luck injury San Diego is gambling big time on this

MLB is going to have a f***ing lockout in another year or two with deals like this. Lack of foresight.

14 years is a long f***ing time Yeah, good to get him locked up early, but 14 years is a lot. He could go like Chris Davis did for the Orioles and you've basically made him untradeable as no one is gonna take that contract

He could go like Chris Davis did for the Orioles and you've basically made him untradeable as no one is gonna take that contract It’s an insane risk by both parties to be locking into this. Who knows how thngs are gonna go, in 5 years his market value could be $35 mil. a season, or it could be $6 mil. Props to him, at least he set himself up but in 5 years or so I absolutely see this being considered either the best or worst contract in MLB

I mean you can overcome if he really wasn't as good as you thought but you committed big money down to him This can really go only a few ways 1. He's everything you want him to be and somehow this massive deal works out 2. He's not what you want him to be and now it will be difficult to trade him and you will most likely have to eat money on top of getting a miniscule return 3. You get cheap and decide to trade him cause you can't or don't want to put up with the contract

Oh great, and now everybody is wondering what the Nationals have to do to lock up Juan Soto.

The Padres lock up Fernando Tatis Jr. into a 14-year, $340 million deal This is either going to make the Padres a contender for a decade or will be the worst deal is MLB history since Bobby Bonilla.

Reporters throwing out these large ass multi-million dollar numbers without even blinking is why I can't get into baseball. NBA is almost just as bad, but they have a salary cap, at least.

Oh great, and now everybody is wondering what the Nationals have to do to lock up Juan Soto. And Soto has years under his belt so it is most likely going to be less years but around the same total 10/$300 mill I still think is fair It is also highlights how badly ATL took advantage of Acuna
