I find this Skubal conversation fascinating. I think Boras starts the bidding at 8/550, with a settlement at around 6/450 by the Dodgers. He will never sign for a paltry 200 mil.
I second this sentiment. This year has the possibility to be one of the most engaging seasons we have experienced for some time. The battles for positions looks like they will be very intense.
This is like the high school girl who shows attention to a beta male to get an alpha male she's had her eye to be jealous and act on it. We dodged a bullet. I am glad we can move on.
