2026 MLB Season Thread

[アミーゴ]

The Mets already had one of the highest payrolls in the league in 2022 and those moves have shot them up to incredible new heights. Roster Resource has them at $344MM before even factoring in the Ottavino deal, with a competitive balance tax figure of $356MM. Since the Mets are second-time payors and are well beyond the fourth CBT threshold of $293MM, they are now paying a 90% tax on any further spending. Ottavino will add $7.25MM to that CBT figure, leading to an extra $6.525MM in taxes, meaning the club is effectively paying $13.775MM for Ottavino’s services in 2022.

Mets didn't have much of a choice. They needed to spend a lot with so many free agents on the team. And after a weird season that ended with 101 wins, 2nd place and losing the Wild Card, they had to make big splashes. But they still need a bat. So that number is presumably going higher.

Fixed.

 

[jpzx]

It is amazing that the Giants have signed Arson Judge and Carlos Correa, and will not ever actually have Arson Judge or Carlos Correa.

 

[jpzx]

Is the news conference still postponed or will they cancel it, I’d like to be there if it takes place.

LMAO.
