did the team finally get him some lexapro?
-
that's not saying much. an oft injured backup catcher as the main return for the best pitcher of this generation. Al Avila strikes again.
-
maybe even deal boyd for gleyber torres!
-
also from the athletic: there are a lot of presidents who are more interested in waiting to see if the ACC breaks up than paying for oregon and washington. monetarily, that makes more sense. again, grabbing florida state and/or miami makes more immediate monetary sense than any of the other west coast teams. you already have the west coast because you have USC. but to get into the acc, you have to break the grant of rights. and i am reading that it might be able to be broken if half the acc teams agree to break it.

from the arhletic today: Feldman: From everything I’ve heard, TV does not want to pay more for this, nor do some of the schools already. Why would they give up stuff for places that they weren’t jumping in the picture for?
-
rogers is not young.
-
yup. dude signed a big contract with you and then disappears for half the season. he couldnt work out his "family issues" before he got a huge contract? of course not. then he backtracks at the last minute and screws you out of a trade. he's a flake and injury prone and unreliable. no thanks. good luck in your future somewhere else.
-
does the tv contract change if you add more games? are they paid by the game? i havent seen anyone write that adding these four teams would alter the tv contract or add significant additional value to the tv contract. all i've seen are articles saying the big ten didnt want them originally because they didnt bring enough value and they werent interested in adding them for the same reason. until now because the pac ten is about to cease to exist. if youre reading something different, i'd love to see it. in fact, florida state probably adds a lot more value than cal and stanford combined.
-
how do they bring you $200 million if the tv money stays the same?
-
"they" being the big ten.
-
they have a clause in their current tv contract that increases the amount of expenditure if they add one school: notre dame.
-
i read one of the big reasons they didnt initially move for washington and oregon because they didnt move the tv money needle. or didnt move it enough. im not sure adding four more teams - especially teams like stanford and cal that do very little to get eyeballs on screens - does that either. it eventually works if you can get the big fish: notre dame.
-
as much as i dont think "tv markets" makes as big of a difference now that they have the biggest fish in USC, i bet the big ten presidents are salivating at the thought of adding stanford and cal to the big ten. its an academics' wet dream. honestly, oregon is the school that doesnt fit the profile. but they took nebraska...
-
yahoo reporting big ten is now putting together a group to look into further expansion with the pac 12 falling apart. oregon, washington, cal, and stanford being considered. it'll come down to whether the networks give them more money with the new teams, or whether the new boys take a lower rate. or both.
-
yes, but the real question is whether his wife is a fool, as it seems she is the one who makes the decisions for him.
-
buddy's back baby!
-
wait a second, you mean the guy that disappeared for almost an entire season for "family reasons" is actually a total unreliable flake? wow. i'm stunned.
-
so did everyone else.
-
get ready for lots of national stories giving the tigers an F for this trade deadline.
-
twas a joke, but there's a bit of truth in it. but if harris had a deal with LA and erod nixed it, that seems like a mistake. but we dont actually know what happened.
-
us: it was such a bad idea to trade jd martinez for the poo poo platter. also us: how could we not trade erod for whatever waa being offered?
-
in other words, henning has no sources in harris' front office.
-
ftfy
-
the dodgers probably wouldnt agree to extend him at the number he wants, so rodriguez nixed the deal. which is why you put teams like that on the no trade list, it gives you leverage.
-
so he's nick madrigal?
