2026 MLB Season Thread

I definitely thought it was an overpay as far as years. 13 years was wild. But he's been balling the past couple seasons.

13 years is wild no doubt i believe it was 10/330 at first but he wanted to help the team and bring in players so they added the 3 years to help lower the AAV

it helped lower the luxury tax and overall value of the contract

but tbh phillies front office aint doing a damn thing to try and help this team lol but contract is looking decent right about now

IMO they nailed it so far esp with how contracts continue to rise

phillies had no action (although we still missing playoffs) harper atleast brought the hype back to baseball in philly

Why did Baez only get $140 million? Seems like he would have got more.

Phils should make a play for Correa. I want the Red Sox to too, even though it would be tough to root for dude. But oh well.

Ultimately I think he goes to NY or LAD.

I don't know much about the technicalities of beisbol. School me on how different balls affect free agents?

different balls = different stats, so it gives the teams room to argue contract dollars ie. you dont deserve 20+ mil a year because you only hit .xxx or threw xxx strikeouts over another player with similar stats who makes less money

Major League Baseball lockout appears imminent after negotiations end abruptly

A lockout of Major League Baseball players appeared imminent after talks between the league and union ended after just 7 minutes of negotiations Wednesday afternoon, less than 12 hours before the expiration of the game's collective-bargaining agreement.

www.espn.com

...leaders for both sides met at the Four Seasons Dallas at Las Colinas. When the meeting adjourned minutes later, officials from the league left the hotel and players were told talks were done for the day.

yikes. expecting a flurry of signings before the deadline in a few hours
