The big differences compared to 2007 is that most of that team was old. Except for Pence, all their starters were above 30 I believe. Biggio was...
I speak that trading a rookie that has 5 years of control left for future prospects is not an attempt to rebuild in the near future but for a...
Yes, let's start rebuilding for 2035. And then in 2030, we can trade all our rookies to start rebuilding for 2040. Neverending hope for the future!
From a practical perspective, given that the devil is in the details and the details are still in flux, I wouldn't trust what either side says...
There are a lot of other factors that go into this but Red Sox did not make the playoffs in 2024, did in 2025 with Bregman, and likely won't this...
Players will oppose it on principle. But that said, this is the way to fix the game longterm - and it works in the NFL and NBA and player salaries...
Or he's just working things out slowly and there's randomness in small sample sizes. In his first 2 starts after his IL start, he gave up 9 runs...

Tony Gwynn would like a word.
Sark just can't seem to keep his mouth shut - weird for a coach who missed the playoffs and struggled so much last season....
He's absolutely right, but he should be thankful for that. If the committee had watched Texas against Kentucky and Miss St and UTEP, they'd have...
He hasn't had a day off in forever and the next 2 series are against much better teams. Division opponent doesn't matter much unless its the team...
Who would you like him to play instead?
Yup - it just counts in current $ terms. So if Ohtani is getting $30MM in 2050 for his 2026 earnings, they'd see how much that is worth in 2026...
Several ways to handle it, but I would suggest: Graduated cap over a few years Teams above the cap can't sign any significant free agents until...
