Wilbur Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 11 minutes ago, Bounce000 said: Teo to the Dodgers. And only 8.5 million deferred. I wonder what the Dodgers salary cap would be if they didn't defer any money? And why do I get the feeling that by 2030, when all this deferred money comes to roost, the luxury tax won't be a thing anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern_Nuck Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 14 hours ago, Bounce000 said: Teo to the Dodgers. Crazy thing is some baseball analysts have him sitting 7th in the batting order. I’d personally have him 6th. But imagine having a guy that will hit between 25-30 homers and usually bats around .260 as your 7th hitter???? That’s a crazy deep lineup. I really hope that Atlanta or the reds somehow beat them in the playoffs. Because they’re trying to buy another championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Teo and Freddie, but I hope their team crashes and burns..... Technically, the Dodgers deliberately left a ton of salary open for this offseason. They had a long-term (at least a year) plan in place, and they executed it to perfection. 38 minutes ago, runningback33 said: Report: Yankees agree to sign former Blue Jays P Stroman to two-year deal https://www.tsn.ca/mlb/report-new-york-yankees-agree-to-sign-former-blue-jays-p-marcus-stroman-to-two-year-deal-1.2061400 The New York Yankees have agreed to a two-year deal worth $37 million with pitcher Marcus Stroman, per multiple reports.

Interesting decision to put him in the rotation as well. In the limited games I saw him in, he throws bombs, but doesn’t have much finesse.

Is stuff has nice movement and he can usually locate in the zone. But he never really found his trademark stuff in Toronto beyond his velocity.

Blue jays are doing this deal as an overpayment to JR in hopes that he returns the favour when he has enough MLB Service to acquire free agent rights.
