2026 MLB Season Thread

So questioning him getting something this “creative” done is that wild?

I think across the league all gms would be questioned if they’d be smart enough to make that kind of move. You singled Cashman out though because onewearz comments had you feeling some type of way and you thought you’d get a shot off. Let’s keep it a buck

How does the $68 mil per year affect the luxury tax starting year 10?

I could be wrong, but I thought only $ for folks on the 40-man counted toward CBT.

I believe this is correct

You’ve had multiple fans of your own team trashing your GM, but you took offense to my comments on him…so yea…feeling some type of way, when you’ve said yourself he needs to be gone before . Okay dude.

Way to comprehend why we trashed him. You can acknowledge what he’s done but also criticize how he’s been. It’s not one or the other Took offense? Lol I simply commented back. You went digging up past comments. This isn’t that deep but it’s been a good laugh

If that is the case,

But I can definitely see something changing in the new CBA to only allow a certain amount of deferred money/counts towards the salary cap

I want to know what kinda dirt Boone has on the Steinbrenners.

Wow, Topps is printing his baseball card? Interesting.

Lord willing, we’re all still around to see this be a meme for the 10 years after the deal when he’s the highest paid player on the team, sitting at home in Japan

Bro this dude is really a Yankee. It really just hit me now watching him do a interview.

I’m just wondering why he would defer all that money with 0% interest accumulated. Even 1% is still $680k/yr.

Hopefully Jung is worth the money. Happy they finally made a move.

Lot of $$ for a player that hasn’t played in the mlb, but hopefully Jung can become the everyday CF/leadoff hitter of the future.

Cohen needs to make him an offer he can’t refuse

SF Matched LA's Shohei Offer

"Ohtani camp presented Giants the exact deal that Ohtani ended up finalizing with LA. "We were agreeable to it," Zaidi said. Then Giants were told it was in Ohtani's hands. Obviously, Shohei picked Dodgers." via Andrew Baggarly on Twitter

I want the Mets to get Yamamoto but LA seems like the logical choice if I were him. Less flight time back to Japan, Ohtani is there, huge Japanese fanbase, LA will offer a big contract. Cohen would have to drop $1 billion or close to it to convince him and that might not still be enough. The real questions are: how big is Yamamoto’s ego and is he about that Bonilla/Ohtani deferred life?

I’ve never seen Yamamoto pitch. He gonna live up this hype?
