Rob Silver teases his presentation for First Pitch Arizona, we go through some Steamer projections and talk about using some AI tools. Much more Launch Angle and PullHitter…
People, especially the bigger names, are going to try to front load ahead of December 1st.
If you're Scooble, if you're any of the guys who are going to get multi-year deals, there is no upside waiting for the new collective bargaining agreement, and there's certainly a lot of potential downside.
Yeah, I would think teams with money and teams that are just creatively understanding of the market and what it might be.
We'll probably notice some teams just scooping up some players and just be like, oh, they're on it.
Scooble signs a $300 million contract and $280 million of them are being paid out as a signing bonus right now.
I know that's not how the luxury tax, how any of it uh works but that kind of thing
though for the for those of you who are already doing the dc's you're you're three in
So, so I'm, I'm, I'm a mansplaining have DC's work to, to, to a guy who's incredible at DC's is free agents who kind of in February and then early March haven't signed start getting a massive discounts on by the market.
Why? Well, cause there is some risk that's, you know, so-and-so is not going to sign.
So what's going to be interesting to me is, let's say 60% of free agents signed between now and December 1st, 40%.
Did those guys start in like Christmas having a discount because it's frozen and nobody's doing anything and we know nothing is going to happen until April or now? Like that's that can't possibly.
Let's assume we're both right and there is a flurry of action in the next four weeks of signings.
