Bobby bonilla styles

What a joke. Who comes up w/ these $$ figures?

[champlain]

How is he overrated.
What part of his game is lacking up to this point.





What do you think, he's going to hit .346 with 30 plus bombs every season?

Last season is pretty much was what he is,
That being a .290 - .300 hitter with 25- 30 homer power, a run scoring machine that wins gold gloves in the outfield.

He's not Trout, but Trout is a once in a life time rarity.

Nash, he plays in friendly parks(home and away) and in a loaded lineup. 2017 is an outlier. He’s a 900 ops kind of player in a friendly hitter environment. That’s very good but not even close to Trout.

[Stryder]

Fishboy best player all time

[Mr KLC]

[DOM-Ganador]

Ichiro?

Loved that guy. World class pussy hound as well. Canon. Too bad he didn`t get here like 6 years earlier and got to play for a contender.

[Stryder]

If Fishboy decided to opt out this season, his jersey was going right in the trash

No more pussies needed

Guess Black Lives do matter

You can platoon any OF position for less than $6mm combined and get .285 / 25/ 80 rbi

You would suffer a bit on defense but to save $30mm a year this contract is obscene and has no basis in reality. Noone driving to the park to watch Mookie Bets.

[Mr KLC]

Deal includes $65M signing bonus, salaries of $17.5M, $17.5M, $20M, $25M, $25M, $25M, $25M, $30M, $30M, $30M, $27.5M, $27.5M. Total of $115M deferred. By contrast, PA values Gerrit Cole’s deal at straight $324M (9 x $36M) because contract does not include deferrals.

[stake1]

That is a sick bonus. Weeks ago? Owners all broke

[EasyCover]

Who is the only American League player to win a Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, MVP and a World Series ring in the same season.

Mookie Betts

Mike Schmidt dit it in the NL for the Phils in 1980.

[jjgold]

He took a knee

Loser anti American

[hehfest]

Mookie is a dam good hitter. Without a doubt. Problem again, they just make too much dam money to hit a baseball and pitch and field. They want to bullsh*t all of us with equality right? BLM, BLM, Washington Football Team.....why don't we just make everyone get about the same money regardless of what they do too? That would only be fair right? I mean most of us are f*cked right now. I am kidding. Teachers, doctors, different trades....should make more. Not the same as each other. The sports is absolutely out of control.

BLM, BLM, BLM

Washington D.C. BLM's (replacing Redskins)

National Anthem - Black guy Dodger's game

I've seen enough. It won't last long before I not only don't watch, but probably won't bet. I still haven't bet since March.

[jjgold]

Betts

Phoney like all
Black athletes

Lives with whites gated houses

Guy will end up like the rest. Overpaid bust

[mjsuax13]

Mookie with a nice bases loaded strike out.

I can't believe SBR lets an ignorant racist like JJ represent them. Sad.

[thechaoz]

I don’t know what these teams think hitters never win titles and these contracts prove to the epic failures

JJ with the true nugget.

Same thing happens when you over pay a QB

[thechaoz]

Deal includes $65M signing bonus, salaries of $17.5M, $17.5M, $20M, $25M, $25M, $25M, $25M, $30M, $30M, $30M, $27.5M, $27.5M. Total of $115M deferred. By contrast, PA values Gerrit Cole’s deal at straight $324M (9 x $36M) because contract does not include deferrals.

Imagine signing your signature on a piece of paper and that alone giving you 65 million


Damn man.

[jjgold]

JJ with the true nugget.

yep teams over react on hyped players

Mussina's Yankee contract paid off nicely though.
But for every ten long term contracts nine of them are dogs.
But Moose pretty much made every start for the Yanks on his long term deal, most of them being quality starts.

[slayer14]

Dodgers wont win nothing for a long time if they pay stupid contracts like this.

[jjgold]

A good Dominican player would do the same as Betts for 2 million a year

[slayer14]

Now you got Kershaw and Betts on Dodgers team the top earners in team it will create jealously among the other players you would think. Not good for team chemistry i think.
