If we're (and by that, I mean baseball) going to allow the cheating scumbag Astros to keep their tainted title, no reason to not allow Clemens, Bonds, A-Rod, etc. into the Hall.

Knock off the charade and the fake outrage over them while ignoring the most blatant incident of cheating in the last 100 years in MLB.

Not to mention that the writers themselves mostly ignored the steroid issue because it gave them easy stories to write every night.

Sports writers are mainly loser nerds who hold way to a high of an opinion of themselves.

Tampa locks up Wander.

Update with more details: Wander Franco’s deal with Tampa Bay is for 11 years and $185 million. There is a 12th-year option and the total value could jump to $223 million. @TBTimes_Rays was on deal being done, and @YancenPujols first reported talks between Franco and the Rays.

Wade Davis — a three-time All-Star, two-time reliever of the year finalist and World Series champion in 2015 — has retired. A storied Royals career. A level of dominance that will forever be hard to match.

Do you have salary escalators that kick in after a couple of years of control? Like $5 or $10 for Year 3 or something?

He's also small framed. Doubt the end of that contract is pretty.

Salary escalates $4 a year. I’m in good shape for the next 2-3 years and will try to add 1-2 cheap keepers in each draft.

May keep Logan Gilbert instead of Montas for $7, but Montas was SO good down the stretch and likely headed to a contender via trade. I’m hoping NL rather than AL East…

Why is that?

This extension covers his age 21-32 seasons. Drop-off is unlikely to be drastic at 31-32 because of his profile. Plate discipline and bat control and contact skills all typically age well, and those are his strengths.
