Merry Christmas!! I'm a little sad nobody has sent me any trade offers as christmas presents!

It would be interesting to see an economist analyze the actual difference in cost of living. I would think $30M/year in NYC is the same as $20M/year in Houston. But Boras has to make sure his clients set records for dollar amount, and nobody ever talks about the difference in actual value of the contract based on location.
-
NY taxes are really insane. Not only does NY State have a high income tax, NY City has a high municipal income tax. And sales tax is 8.875%. Hidden taxes: 18% cell phone tax, taxes on utilities (e.g. the "greenhouse initiative" is just a huge hidden tax on utility fees), real estate, restaurants, gas, health care. The overall added costs of living in NYC (and they tax non-residents who are in NYC 183 days a year) is huge. You would need to earn a LOT more to offset the expense of NY.
-
I find it interesting that the media never talks about varying state/city taxes when comparing contracts. NYC’s top rates add up to 17% including sales tax.

Harper is waiting to sign with the Cubs. The Cubs are by far Harper’s #1 choice. The Cubs are working to move some salary. Harper has given the Cubs some time to get this done.

I predict Machado to the White Sox, and Harper to the Dodgers.
-
Harper to the Chicago Cubs would be my Christmas present. Don't be surprised if it happens.

The perfect Christmas present! Do we get to see a picture?

The pennant for 2018 champion Team Name is finally on its way to Florida. Orange and Blue. I hope you find it worthy of display.
-
At least I'm having fun! Still open for more trades, I'm considering what offers I have now and will try to get back to everyone tonight.
-
$200 more in salary cap space would help as well.

Sliders needs to trade 1 or 2 more prospects for a reliable OFer.
-
Watch our for Summer of Sliders this year, that rebuild is coming around strong!
-
Wow. Summer of Sliders acting like the Yankees by taking on $100+ of salary! Continues a massive rework of his roster. Nice.

Everybody gets a trophy... except players who make people's feelings ouchy like Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Curt Schilling, Dick Allen, Rafael Palmiero, Mark McGwire, Pete Rose.

The team is called Los Abandonados. The roster has Lindor at $26, Matt Chapman at $6, Hader at $7, and a ton of good pitching prospects. Would be a decent roster to take over.
-
If anybody is interested in adding a team, there is a vacant team in another league (league 548 "Recreate Him In The Aggregate"). I just took over as commissioner and would like to make the league is stocked with good owners.
-
Baines also did very poorly in MVP voting with his best finish being 9th place. It isn't just an argument from advanced stats. The more traditionally minded baseball observers of his time did not think that Baines was great.
-
Yeah, Baines makes no sense at all. I never once thought during his career that he was anything more than a good player. One! season above 3.0 fWAR! Or only season above 3.4bWAR if you prefer that metric. A nice, consistent player, but should have never sniffed the Hall of Fame.
-
So.... Harold F%$#ing Baines is a Hall Of Famer. Over his 22 year career, Baines produced fewer WAR than Andy VanSlyke produced in his 13 year career, and fewer than Albert Belle produced in 11 seasons. Baines' 38.4 career WAR is tied with the great Placido Polanco (also 38.4). I know the Hall is not a WAR contest, and I am all for a big Hall. But Harold Baines is pushing it way too far for me. Why bother pretending induction matters anymore?

I considered Whitley the main piece, Bart was just a added kicker.

If anybody is a believer in Forrest Whitley, Alec Bohn or Joey Bart, they are on the block. Let's make a deal.
