Mets in on Bryant?

[hohoho]

Bauer denied using foreign substances yesterday and retweeted his Tweets on this subject.

There's another thread on this BTW, and definitely deserves its own thread - this is going to be big. 

So who doubts that this bum will do anything and everything he can to get an advantage?

"While keeping LeMahieu in The Bronx remains the Yankees’ top priority this offseason — and they continue to have optimism they will ultimately strike a deal — the two sides aren’t close, sources said, as free agency throughout baseball continues to be at a near standstill."

"As of Sunday, the biggest contract handed out this offseason is the four-year, $40.6 million the Mets gave James McCann."

[hohoho]

Ah, the Lance Armstrong defense, you never disappoint.
This bum has made a science of cheating while he criticizes everyone else for cheating.

Here’s how Hendriks deal with White Sox works, per sources: He is guaranteed $54M. Buyout worth same as option. So, he gets $39M for first three years, then an additional $15M over a period of time if White Sox decline option. If White Sox pick up option, it’s four years, $54M.

So basically 13 million AAV

Hendriks is the biggest contract given out so far this offseason, but it's a much bigger deal than people predicted for him. I really don't think the predictions about depressed contract values due to the pandemic is going to pan out.

Still think the predictions for the mid-tier players will take a hit.

By all rights,  Jake Odorizzi should get Zack Wheeler money
