These are the only deals orgs like Pittsburgh, TB and Cleveland do. They'll buy out arb years with these sucker contracts for guys like Hayes, and then dump anyone who doesn't take them. Cleveland's been running that model for 20+ years.
4 arbitration years (including this one). Which means he's going to cost more. Which means he's probably getting traded.
Yeah apparently they tried to offer him one of those shitty extensions last year and he turned it down He’s older so good for him for not taking it
what the fuck are you even talking about? the deal is obviously good for the pirates that hayes signed under his worth and i said Reynolds wouldn’t just block me instead of being a little bitch
teams i am rooting for to win a title in order: 1. pirates (bunt bros stick together) 2. dodgers (so bro stops the ridiculous charade of pretending 2020 was a real title) 3. mystery team (whatever team julio teheran signs with) 4. braves (repeat would be nice but one is plenty. its called staying humble) 5-15. all the other NL teams tied for 30. all AL teams
I didn't realize Hayes was already 25. Of the 32 3B who got at least 350 plate appearances in 2021, he was 29th in ISO. But at least he's a good defender
I’m gonna pay attention this year. Moving to SD from PHX so I won’t have a total dogshit team near me. Will get used to the Padres’ poop uniforms and cheer from afar for my old love, the Red Sox.
The yellow is so nice. The brown is just gonna take some getting used to. The camo stuff I don’t have an opinion on.
