44 comments

1. 19.9? He earned it.

2. Jarren looks like a younger Willy & is worth the 4 he's asking.

3. Kyle Tucker is a superstar?! LOL

4. I WANT KYLE TUCHER BACK IN HOUSTEN

5. Orioles get a C+ signing unc pitchers. Haven’t really spent a bunch of money, or at least below expectations with new ownership. Oneil is a good signing for sure. Theyre prospect hoarding rather than dealing some of their top prospects to get a garrett crochet. Haven’t extended any of their young core players like they should extend gunnar this offseason after the two first full seasons of his career being good and then phenomenal. Cant go B- cause they just haven’t done enough to compete with the yank imo. Also they lost theyre ace n best power hit by a landslide.

6. You should get some of the alternative hats for some of the teams

7. The Cubs have a single very serious problem and it’s the fact that Hoyer is still at the Helm. He is simply awful.

8. C+ for orioles

9. I think the mets sign Alonso to a 5yr $112M deal with a team option after 1 year and a player opt out after 2026

10. Mind blowing.

11. Great pick up for the O’s. And the cubs franchise sucks as always

12. These guy don’t realize how the real world works. They think they should get paid millions to play a game. If a cop was extremely talented on catching bad guy he would not get paid millions even though he would actually deserve it over a guy playing a little boys game. I am a fan but don’t think anyone should get paid the kind of money these guys get paid to play a game.

13. Mets would take Duran for 14 million for the type of production he put up last year.

14. C+ for the O’s, bunch of ok- all star pickups, need a star pitcher like burns, snell, sosaki, freid, or Bieber

15. What about Santander

16. As a Cubs fan i think it is a stupid what Jed hoyer is doing. He is being way too cheap for what we have.

17. As a Cubs fan I am livid over the Kyle Tucker thing, especially since they signed Colin Rea for $5 Million earlier today now giving them 25 pitchers on the 40 man roster. They could have taken that money and handed it over to Tucker and said "We want you to be the face of our franchise. " and use that as a way to try to eventually extend him to a long term deal. Jed Hoyer makes me so angry

18. We did not hold Tucker down. Astros have not manipulated service time since about 2016.

19. So if the player does not get exactly what he wants its disrespectful?

20. I saw something today that Pete Alonso and the Mets were still nowhere near each other for a deal 🤔

21. As a Padres fan the new ownership is doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of “honoring Peter’s legacy.” This wouldn’t have happened in Peter’s or Sheel’s supervision. HOWEVER, I can see the hesitation in regard to King. This past season was his first season as a fully fledged starter and maybe they’re hesitant on being able to replicate this season again. He isn’t getting any younger either. You’re paying 1.5 million more to an essentially 30 year old reliever turned starter after 1 season. Again, I don’t agree with the penny pinching but looking at it from that angle, I see the hesitancy.

22. Also, Tucker is not signing an extension. He wants to hit free agency.

23. Ian Happ was the Cubs’ last big arb case before signing a big extension and he basically said that this is business as usual and that most players don’t really mind it. My guess is that agents take care of this kind of stuff with fairly minimal involvement by the player. Plus there’s still time to settle anyways, so, even as a pessimistic Cubs fan, I think this is a bad sign for a future extension, but nothing close to disrespect or significantly damaging relations or anything.

24. are the baltimore orioles congress 😭

25. I have been saying for years now that the players are over paid(it's just a game!) Sorry not Sorry, but if the players don't get the money then the owners will and nobody goes to a game hoping that the owner is there lol.

26. Same thing The Astros did. Pissed him off. Likely wouldn’t have resigned him cuz of it. The Cubs just squashed the likelihood of him being extended . Dumb.

27. To be fair to the cubs they’ve haven’t had Tucker for even a full month yet so it’s harder for them to see or know what he’s worth compared to the Astros who had him since they drafted him

28. Tell me why I feel Tucker is worth 25m a year. That’s just coming from a tigers fan stuck with a Javier Baez contract. Even 17.5m seems cheep in terms of what other players are getting. That should have been no questions asked

29. I clicked on this video to defend my Cubbies but if they actually do take him to arbitration they’re just shooting themselves in the foot. Like you said we saw how that turned out with Corbin Burnes and the Brewers. We’re better than that (or at least we should be, confusing-ahh franchise)

30. Considering this is Chicago in general we are talking about, it’s not surprising, just look at the south side of Chicago.

31. Fuzzy, I love you forgot to switch the hat, it has me laughing more than it should 😂

32. Uhhhh Jeff Hoffman just signed fuzzy

33. IDK man, but I'd like to see Jarren escape his contract and play with Bobby Witt in KC, that would be S Tier baseball right there.

34. Hoffman got signed right now

35. So are you saying that Duran Duran Duran Duran’s gonna get over over 700 million

36. The jays just signed Jeff Hoffman

37. C grade for orioles

38. The orioles have announced they plan to create a retirement home

39. Red Sox management making the same mistakes with Duran, that the jays management made with vladdy. The Sox can look at the jays where that leads for certainty of getting an extension on a superstar

40. Fire jed hoyer it will happen later this year just wait and see then the cubs wll get better

41. Jeff Hoffman just signed 😂😂😂

42. Jays cap ftw

43. Disagree totally at the end of the day this is a business, if you just give players what they want then you open up for everybody get what they want. I’m for the players but Billionaires don’t become billionaires by just giving away money. It’s not personal it’s business.

44. If the Cubs were smart, they would have paid Tucker what he wants for this season instead of taking him to arbitration. But, I guess they're not.
