2022-23 MLB offseason thread

The most hilarious thing about this is all of the Giants fans screaming about how “This means they have $360 million to spend on guys like Correa and Nimmo now, and have more money to give Ohtani next season, too!” When it’s obvious to anyone with a brain that the Giants aren’t going to end up with any of those guys. 
 

This off season has been a complete and total failure for the Giants, just as the previous off season was. I’m so tired of this team being “in the running” for these guys and not closing on a single one of them. I’d honestly rather them just try to run the team like the Rays or A’s if this is how it’s going to be.

Paying that money for Bogaerts til he’s 41 is insane, but that doesn’t let the Red Sox off the hook for offering insultingly low extensions to him and ensuring that they would find themselves in this position to lose him. Trevor Story could walk down the aisles of any Stop-n-Shop and be totally anonymous; good luck counting on him to get butts in seats.

Crazy, stupid overpay and I don’t even care. I’m just happy the Giants were actually able to finally land a top name free agent. Last one was, like, Barry Zito. Last big position player? Aaron Rowand 😵

They need to put a cap on contact lengths, guy will be 41 when this is over….like the NHL had this and then wised…..well somewhat. Cap it at 5 years like the NBA.

Players Union would never go for it. Plus, with no salary cap, there’s really no means for instituting one.

From reading The Athletic this morning, the Twins were offering 10 years at a higher average annual salary than the Giants offer, but Correa took the extra years instead. Just maddening.

Yeah, but by how much? $350M/13 comes out just shy of $27M/year. So the Twins could've offered anything between $270M/10 and $349M/10 and, although the AAV would be higher, overall, it'd be less money.

The Twins were offering $28.5M to the Giants' $27M.  So you're right: Their deal was $280/10.

They could put a cap on the contracts, but nothing would stop teams from Bobby Bonilla-ing payments over 20 years

I’d say that’s a ridiculous amount and length for a guy like Rodon, but my team just signed a shortstop to a 13 year deal worth $350 million, so I probably don’t have any room to talk.
