interesting move by acuna at his age to forgo some arb and FA years for a 100 milly guaranteed...he'll be the youngest player ever to sign a 100M contract...looks like great deal for the braves right now...not a ton of downside to pay 12M to a guy that put up his numbers in his first year...
Feels like panic selling on the part of the players.
Sawks Bogaerts 6/120 was cheap. He is a Scott Boras kid and he skipped the open market. Really?
$20m in 2025 sounds like a pittance unless you KNOW it isn’t.
If you read the tape you are being told what’s up. How could free agency drastically change in the future?
All these surprisingly underwhelming deals make the Kershaw new deal the last idiotic signing of this era.
