apparently the yankees will still have to pay his offdays, but do not have to pay his game days. so that's 18 days out of 180 and about 2m lol.

Great now Jeter wants his year long fellatio and farewell tour. This is going to become a trend isn't it?

Better than Bud Selig demanding his farewell tour this year.

This isn't going to become a trend, because I think there are a few requirements that are going to be hard to meet to merit this type of celebration.

What I see are the requirements:
Upstanding citizen of the game
Staying with one franchise for their playing career
Potential HOF player
Announce retirement at pre-season

With the advent of Free Agency, the opportunity for one player to stay in one team is going to be rare. I wouldn't know who would be the next player that would have this farewell tour. I'd assume Dustin Pedroia if anything else only because he looks like the type of player that would stay in one team and having success.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

Chipper had his farewell tour, now Jeter gets his. I don't think it's something any player gets, but sure-fire HOFers like Jeter and Chipper are going to get theirs. Not only is it a sign of respect for the great players of baseball, but more than anything, it makes money for the teams they visit. People are going to buy tickets across the country to see Jeter play their team for the last time.

Also, can someone make a 2014 thread or what? I would but I'm on a laptop in a very comfortable position watching the Urban Invitational on MLB Network. I need some more baseball reads. Hook it up someone.

Good chance that neither of them live up tp the hype. Abreu may not have the bat speed to catch up with major league pitching, and Tanaka is viewed by most evaluators as a number two rather than a ace, and some see him as a number 3. Hence Abreu going for that little to the Chi Sox and only the Yankees offering that much money to Tanaka. We shall see.

i love Boras trying to climb over a GM in a weak position in Toronto to try to get his clients a job.

http://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/boras-morales-drew-would-help-blue-jays/

of course spending money solves all problems.

i say.. fire Anthopoulos and hire Andrew Friedman.
pay him whatever he wants.
give him PEI
and free Canadian healthcare for life.

cuban hitters tend to deliver but yea he is not as athletic as the other dudes. still even if cuban league is aaa his numbers should translate monstrously.

What's the Trout deal for? Couldn't they have just given him the same money for another year? Is it just like a good faith kind of thing? Everyone gets the minimum for three years I don't understand why teams do it differently, it only means a bigger arbitration deal, not that Trout will ever get to arbitration. The numbers they're throwing around, 150m for 6, is kinda low though.

given that trout has complained about his pay, the downside of not doing this deal, or a deal for 1.5m/2m w/e the number doesn't raelly matter, is pretty much going to dwarf the 500k more you are paying him this year, even if you know he's going to test FA. the arb buyout negotiation can still save a bunch, plus you don't want an unhappy trout producing less

Did he ever complain though? I thought he's always publicly said he just wants to concentrate on playing. I just don't see how paying him an extra 500k or w/e now can save on his next deal. If he's unhappy he may take a shorter deal but I doubt that has anything to do with not given a raise as a 2nd year player, which frankly is a ridiculously stupid thing to complain about even for Trout. Everyone goes through the same thing. If the Angels really wanna make him happy then they mind as well offer him a long term deal now like Rays did with Moore instead of giving him this empty show of a contract. I'm trying to remember who else has had more than minimum contracts, Tulo, Howard, and that's it?

barry bonds back on the giants as a hitting instructor. by far the most skilled hitter in history.

ervin santana is using the blue jays to create a bidding war.
he won't sign with the blue jays... he is just telling every one he is so that someone will match their offer.

Most skilled? Ted Williams wants a apology.
