I read that it typically takes 11 months from having TJ to being able to hit in a MLB game again. If he hd surgery this month he would miss 5 months of next year's season. I suspect if you are trying to rehab for hitting and pitching that could slow things down further. Not knowing how your body is going to hold up long term.... Its a hard decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be the first player in MLB history to hit 30 dingers and steal 60 bases, check. That team is so good in every facet of the game. I worry about the bullpen. When they are on, they are great. But to me they just seem a little too inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little anti-climatic since the Dodgers were identified as leading for his services since talk of his free agency started. Have watched him play a lot & was hoping the Mariners would somehow be in the running. God knows they desperately need some bats in their lineup. I was thinking around $500M but that was with him hitting and pitching. $700M is just ... mind-numbing stupid crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putin takes over the world. Trump gets elected and democracy ends. Climate change. Bankruptcy. I think it makes sense if his goal is to win championships. It lowers his impact to the luxury tax from 70M to 46M. The difference is the ability to add another star player or a couple of good-great players. Maybe he saw what happened to Trout and didn't want to follow that path? The only thing I thought was odd was that the deferral didn't include interest. Plus he is still in his prime and can make a significant amount through endorsements. Either way though, it's generational wealth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
