brilliant title but may need to file a lawsuit for putting this song in my head

11/10 would recommend paying $ for good baseball players

3rd place for every free agent
5th place in the standings

i agree!

an important note: he's on my Brewers roster in my current OOTP 26 sim

that's just the signing bonus!

I have serious doubts the O's would be in the hunt for Tucker at $400m. Buuuut, any team that is considering spending $400m on Tucker should instead spend $650m on Gunnar 😎

do you think this deal impacts Mounbtcastle's chances of getting non-tendered? Different positions and all that, but there's some overlap with the roles they'd play as righty bat somewhere in the middle of the order.

well I guess this means the O's need to get Joe Ryan in the deal too, so when Buxton gets hurt, the deal isn't a total loss.

but how's your Nats franchise going?

I really like Mayo, but it sure could make the 2026 team better. His 50th percentile outcome as a 1b for 2026 is easier to find elsewhere than the 50th percentile of a Ryan or a similar SP. Buuut, if they are willing to spend the $, they can address the SP in free agency and keep Mayo...

how many of these dudes do you think will still be in the org after they trade for Joe Ryan?

i think they look alright, but both teams wearing dark helmets is tough on my eyes for some reason

👀

both teams wearing dark helmets should be outlawed imo

if they went and got Cease + Bieber or Gallen , that'd be pretty cool too

Probably Framber because I think Mike just needs to go get the best pitcher available, not the best value available. A risky commitment for sure, but it's time to take that type of risk rather than trying to be the most clever FO in the league
