Jesus way more than I thought. An older expensive running back. Good call 84

Yeah and what’s the difference between all those guys and Montgomery?

I’d be shocked if he gets more than a conditional. Plenty of free agent running backs that only cost money and veteran players always return less than fans expect.

Tigers win it all, ask me why in about a month

Coach who specializes in the passing game

I work across the street from msg so I made sure to wear all my gear. Now if I would have worn it Thursday instead of Tuesday and not gotten the date of the game confused, it would have been an even bigger hit

How is Bonderman's change up looking?

By a very quick count looks like 6 out of 29 starts were under 5 innings. So he should be good for five or six, some knowledge and good memories. You could do a lot worse for a backend guy

She is used to post on the old Mlive forum

we're still paying for 2017?! We were **** then I thought Miggy's contract was long over.

Damn cheap Chris Illitch strike again

Hell maybe!

If you have a bryce harper level talent you can create a bidding war among teams for his services. If he makes 10 million out of the gate, when he gets to pay years that will be the base. Versus starting at 500K

A bit of both. It doesn't behoove a sport to have unbalance where like Detroit and Pittsburgh sturggle for decades

Well he was selected by a committee, not the writers

A floor without a cap is terrible. Will just lead to bad contracts that hamper franchises or overpaying one young player and limiting free agency.

Love this McCarthy equals junk where as everyone loves garbage…despite their careers being identical

Any massive extension is almost always done during spring training, wouldn't worry about timing. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/9111981/justin-verlander-detroit-tigers-agrees-deal-which-worth-202-million-sources https://www.mlb.com/news/detroit-tigers-announce-eight-year-extension-for-miguel-cabrera-c70257040 https://www.mlb.com/news/vladimir-guerrero-jr-blue-jays-extension https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/30920472/14-years-340-million-make-fernando-tatis-jr-mega-extension-san-diego-padres

i think you're digging your head in the sand if you think they are non issues. They are the constant issues, and remain big, and any one let alone the wide gaps on multiple is why people fear a work stopage. Take salary cap for example, its been discussed. But now more owner want it because of crumbling RSN (something that didnt exist in the last few years) and they cant keep up with the Dodgers and Mets of the world. Paying players more sooner will also be a factor but owners will want to tie that to some sort of cap, which the players will hate. While they have bene tweeaked they are still major issues with wide gaps between the sides and major current and future financial factors at play. To think there is no large issue that should lead to an impasse is being obtuse and aware of the current labor situation.

I dont know if there will or not But just off the top of my head Salary Cap international draft free agency Service time Decreasing TV money on the horizon are all huge issues that could easily divide the sides into a long dispute. Thats not to mention there are plenty of reports on about how the association has its only problems between the haves and have nots and who to favor in any negotiating.

So, any Sukbal news?

What your talking about is different than "importance." You are talking likelhood. Its not important we resign Marcus at all. A million veteran DE are out there, and its not important to resign a guy who barely played for us.

Yeah but with zeitler they might have been a playoff team, and if we won the Super Bowl nobody would have cared about having an extra 7 million in this years free agency. Can’t just portray it as well we don’t sign this guy so we could have more space in 2026, could that be the right move? Maybe. But there is more to it than you present. and we signed the top corner cause we lost a top corner. So it’s not like we were actively upgrading much, more of a replacement. Again context matters.

No winning accomplishes absolutely nothing. Lower pick, harder schedule

I think a lot of this post lacks context. Williams played, but had a 1 TFL all year. He made very little impact and seemed like a luxury pic at the time. Ratledge is fine. TeSlaa was burried at fourth on the depth chart all year, and while he had a couple catches, its the problem of drafting a 4 wr development project, and trading up for one, when again there were other needs. The rest dont matter becuase the same could be said for pretty much any 4-7th pick on any team. Thats why people call it a failure. Little impact and when given context its gets worse.
