>>77091614
Plenty of average and below average players already get above average salaries. All a salary floor does is prevent cheap owners from using the cap to minimize costs. It's the least important of the 3 but still necessary.

>>77091721
That car is .027% of his salary. Do you know how fucking insane that is? Thats the equivalent of me (around 65k a year) spending $182

I have to ask those who are pro salary floor something. If a team is like the Phillies, and has very little in the way of current talent, and there's no reason for a big name FA to come, why should they be forced to spend $25m on someone like Michael Saunders, when that spot could be given to an unproven prospect or a lottery ticket like a rule 5er?

Leake will pitch a shutout on friday, mark my words.

>>77092818
i am just going to hold him close till he goes, he is very comfortable. every time he has gone out of the house, he's been very anxious. i just want him to be comfortable. again thank you for talking to me about him

>>77092787
Fuck man, you might want to let him go.
I had a black kot like this; 5 months older than me, passed a few weeks after my 20th. He had kidney shit diagnosed years before, and he hung on that much longer. We left him overnight at the vet to see if they could do anything for naught, and years later I regret we did it. It might just be time, even more so with what you're saying. 16 is a good run for kot.
Good luck man. I hope your Cards and your senpai/bros can help you.

>>77092746

Bruh, take him to the vet and let them put him down. The same happened to me with a dog and I let it go on too long. She wasn't eating anything for days and couldn't get her medicine with her food. Two days before dying, she took one bite of her food from my hand and that was it. We took her to the vet to get checked, left, and they called us to say she was gone. She was 5.

Your cat has lived a long life. Don't let him suffer any more. Drop whatever you're doing. Take him in.

Sincerely,
Just a guy

I see the point you are making, but even well run small market teama have to rebuild every so often when their stars leave, or if they are lucky they trade them before they leave as fa's.

I think teams will still be run well under a more even playing field. Like someone else said at least a min. amount of salary a team has to spend along with a soft cap will do wonders for the parity in mlb.

But with how strong the owners are, especially the big market clubs, it aint happenin.

My real wish would be relegation, top 3 aaa teams come up and 3 worst major league clubs go down. It would be epic.

Question to the baseball intellectuals of the 4chan.....

Is Robinson Cano and his team in line for postseason berth because of his ASG MVP and does his ASG HR account towards his season total???

Let me know please, I'm a new baseball aficionado and want to know just how much the all-star gane matters.

Like if you pitch a clean inning in the ASG does you career ERA go down???

If you get an RBI does it account for your career total???

I also heard many things about the AL being a harder league to play in but Clayton Kershaw has a lower ERA against AL teams not just in NL parks but AL parks as well, in fact, Kershaw does everything better in AL parks against AL teams? Any theories?

This NL damage control is just sad at this point. You lost, that's it, it's done.

In public and everything. Jeez.

i'm not getting my hopes very high but he seems to at least be feeling better, at least he's able to get up now. he also drank some water though he still hasn't eaten

CIDM was my greatest contribution to the 4chan.
I was in Disneyland the last couple days and didn't even watch the game or the derby. When I saw the lineup and saw Maddon had Pussy hit clean-up, I knew the game was surrendered at that point. I haven't even seen highlights that's how little I care papi. 61 (sixty-one) wins.

ITS FUCKING HAPPENING

>no Candelario
Whos getting fleeced by an NL team again.

Chris Carter is sitting at home right now making 3 million dollars this year for doing almost nothing.

A-Rod is enjoying life and making big baller bucks and not even playing

Manny Ramirez will make 2 million a year until 2026 from the Red Sox and probably doesn't even have to think about baseball.

Guy, I am sick.

Two days ago the White Sox were asking for Clint Frazier and Gleyber Torres for Quintana. Why'd they end up selling so low?

>stripping your farm to acquire an okay pitcher from your cross-town rivals

what the fuck

QUINTANA TO CUSB
ELOY JIMENEZ AND OTHERS TO WHOS

>>77099004
Keep in mind, this is the same team that gave up the number 2 prospect in all of baseball for two months of a reliever who had three blown saves in the postseason.

>>77099120
Those guys are casual as fuck. If they wanted to give up Frazier and Torres + whatever else prospect the White Sox wanted for a number 2 pitcher, they don't deserve to watch the team.

>Q on a team with good defense in the ninny league

Let's go boys, time to get Swarzak and Robertson rented out. And hopefully trick some fools into buying Frazier and Melky.

So who do the Yankees go after now?

>>77099048
>>77099004
>>77099190

>"trading the farm"

only two of the players going to the Whites are of any relevance

Eloy is good if not great, but he's also only 20 and unproven past the High-A level. The Cubes have two talented young OFs already regularly starting at the major league level (Happ and Almora).
They're thinking about their window to win, and Eloy is not gonna see the majors for at least 3 years (if he pans out)

I'm more upset about Cease since this organization has so few pitching prospects. Again, he's been tearing up the A-levels, but what indication is that as far the big leagues go? or even AAA?

I fondly remember the "muh prospektz" meme. that's the thing, all prospects are memes until they show they can actually play at a high level. Neither Jimenez or Cease have shown that

Meanwhile there's serious logjams in the organization cause guys have no chance of getting called up with former top prospects already in the majors at almost every position. Theo did these guys a favour by sending them to another team to have a chance to play.

THE need of this team is starting pitching, with one if not two starters possibly gone after this season (and everyone struggling so far this year). Quintana fulfills that year without the baggage of a rental (pretty much under team control through 2020 due to team options) or a huge contract (like $5 million a year).

but hey, kudos to the South Side for taking our strategy of stockpiling prospects by trading all their movable pieces. Maybe we'll see each other in the eries one day.

>>77099287
The Yankees aren't making any blockbuster trades if they decide to buy. If they decide to sell, I'll be excited to see some more Cashman fleecing.

Hahn in the last year has traded Eaton, Sale, and Quintana for:
>Yoan Moncada
>Michael Kopech
>Luis Alexander Basabe
>Victor Diaz
>Lucas Giolito
>Reynaldo Lopez
>Dane Dunning
>Eloy Jiménez
>Dylan Cease
>Matt Rose
>Bryant Flete
They also now have 9 of the top 100 prospects in baseball now iirc. Even if most don't work it, what a haul. And they still have drob, melky, and frazier to trade.

>>77099287
Gray, maybe. But the Astros will probably want him too

>>77099327
>like $5 million a year
The two option years are for about 10 million a piece.
>>77099361
I hope he turns his season around with you guys. Injury is probably no concern, he hasn't been on the DL once with us.

Cubs fan reaction on social media salty as fuck that they gave up two best prospects for a 4-8 4+ ERA mid rotation starter.

>mfw these casuals dont know how good Q actually is

Lmfao what the fuck? I'm impressed.

I always love my prospects, but Q will be fun to have on the north side.

I could've sworn that Reinsdorf said he would never deal with the Cubs.

It's actually a pretty even trade and helps the White Sox improve their tanking ability.

>>77099392

Bruh, Rose is a non 3B with not enough bat to play 1B and Flete is a throw in for minor league depth.

Cease is fucking legit, though, but he's a Tommy John survivor and might end up in the bullpen BUT his fastball and curve are absolute plus pitches. So, he's definitely a closer. And Jimenez is a G. I'll miss that guy.

>>77099482
They both did

Cubs added much needed starting pitching while losing prospects who were blocked and weren't going to see major league play anytime soon anyways

White Sox continued adding to already stacked farm while losing a pitcher they had no use for and wasn't going to see major league play anytime soon anyways

They won't sell shit either probably just Dipoto will do some dumbshit moves to get Miguel Gonzalez or James Shields and say "that outta fix it"

They need to sell Cruz and Seager. Seager to the BoSox for Devers/Groome and Cruz for pitching. Then maybe trade there extra outfielders for pitching. They need some fucking pitching.
