[Ken Rosenthal] Details on José’s new contract

27 comments
  1. Interesting. I wonder if they are doing the deferred payments to free up some money for another big contract, maybe Kwan?

  2. Absolutely should have unlimited free use of Dolan’s jet, with priority over Dolan himself imo

  3. With the restructuring and the deferred money, I wonder how this affects the rest of the offseason. Certainly they’ll have some more money to play around with

  4. this is a fuckin scientology contract lol. 500k for league MVP. guys in the 1990s probably got more incentive

  5. Why the extra hotel room? I honestly can’t think of why he wants/needs a suite plus another room on road trips? 

  6. It also includes provisions for demolishing Burke Lakefront airport to make a life sized version of Rainbow Road

  7. This was probably to get ahead of an eventual salary cap/floor to lock in the contract and have it grandfathered.

  8. We should all be proud to have this guy on our team. And we should all crowd source some more bats.

  9. Ugh man after me hate spewing the Dodgers deferring money for Ohtani, I can’t really call them out anymore.

    But I’m glad we kept Jose here for his entire career. Let’s win him a fucking World Series already.

  10. If it doesn’t include promises to add players and payroll it’s nice, but basically just dooms Jose to never playing for a contender.

  11. So I guess it’s gauche to put a statue in your contract, and we’ll see that happen separately?

    Seriously tho – glad to see our little goblin get whatever he wants! Let’s goooo!
