shiznak Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 So what’s the over and under on Vladdy’s next contract? 1B isn’t a premium position, so I don’t think he’ll get more that what people think he’ll get on the open market. My guess is somewhere between 250m-300m over 10 years. Just for comparison sake; Freddie is the highest paid first basemen (not counting Harper) and he got 25m per year. He was a little older when he signed, but he’s undoubtedly the best first basemen in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningback33 Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Blue Jays' Bassitt says closed roof contributed to poor start https://www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/blue-jays-bassitt-says-closed-roof-contributed-to-poor-start/ Chris Bassitt had one of his worst outings of the season on Sunday but the veteran right-hander has a theory for why things went south. Speaking to reporters after the loss to the Oakland A's, Bassitt said his pitches were affected by the closed roof at the Rogers Centre. "Roof closed, completely different than roof being open, wasn't really ready for it," Bassitt said. "I had to completely change my mechanics to kinda get the movement I wanted." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks164cup Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Wagner was doing really well in triple A this year, he deserved the call up and wasn't getting it in Astros, so this is a good opportunity for him and I think he's a good player, better than Biggio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
