Free Agency Talk

Nobody wanted LeMahieu when he was up for trade.  Now he's getting twenty MILLION dollars a year.

What was his resigning salary looking like?

I cannot allow those facts to get in the way of my outrage!

LeMahieu is now at 22 MILLION...Let that marinade.

Probably was going to earn that in extension so why trade for him and lose picks, specs, intl money, etc.

I don't like talking about current FAs because I don't want to influence anybody's decision (truthfully, probably couldn't if I tried ). how did Seager get five years at 31M!!!! Being a Mariners fan and following Seager closely over his career, I am shocked he made over 22M!

I think the resign value was something like $21m.  Outrageous though.  No way I would pay him $21m for him and I didn't!   

The resign values are based on previous free agency prices so it makes sense they're so high.

Makes me want to     I have 86 million in cap space and I'm spending every dime.

[chrisetc21]

Crazy money.

I was hoping it would slow down by the time pitchers came around but nope.

These contracts look ugly now. I can’t imagine how bad some will look a few years from now...

I thought I could get a full staff to really bloster my chances but that backfried and Santana decided to have surgery so could really hurt me esepcially given his age as well.

Definitely some ugly contracts overall, I also don't like what I gave to Kemp, but then I saw Cespedes and Granderson and felt better lol.

[cheesesteak]

I just spent 80 million dollars.
