Deferred money undefeated
The Los Angeles Defers strike again
Shit
Sounds about right for him. Good contract for both him and the dodgers
Welcome back Teo!
at this point it would be shocking if there wasnt any deferrals
Fuck
Would’ve been crazy for the Doyers to let him go. He’s worth it to them just for the vibes.
Great deal for both sides
Team option or player option?
And the unlimited money continues wonder what the next thing they’ll go out and buy is?
The longer the offseason was going the more likely it was looking like he was gonna return to LA. It’s his best fit
Looks like Teo did in fact prioritize coming back over his contract demands. The deferrals were reportedly what was holding things up.
Seems low
Oh brother these guys again
Reasonably team friendly but also he got what he was looking for primarily right?
Anyway, happy for the guys! Should be another fun year. Continuity is lovely coming off of wins, and they’ve added in places that they need to add too
Yo, how come other teams are not interested with this price?
signing bonuses are actually way more of a cbt hack than deferrals. 23 million now is worth way more than 23 paid over the lifetime of the contract yet the cbt doesn’t account for this unlike with deferrals. I wonder if this will get exploited more in the future
Welcome back Papi
That’s hardly a surprise. I figured he’d always go back to the Dodgers and was most likely using the other teams as bait.
So did nobody else want to go to 22×3 or was Teo just always going to sign in LA for whatever they offered and all that not wanting deferred money talk was bogus?
Geez finally. We can’t just give up Shohei’s bestie like that.
Meanwhile Pete Alonso still thinks he’s getting $30mil a year
The Reds continue to refuse to employ a power hitter despite playing in the most hitter friendly park in the league.
Imagine having 23 million dropped in your account tomorrow 😅
Can’t hate on mfs who sign with teams because they know they’re gonna win.
Finally, this team does something.
Hell fucking yeah. Rarely has a player on a one-year deal proved that he belongs somewhere as much as Teo did. So, so glad we got this deal done.
This league is cooked.
I wish a certain team would have offered their star 3 years 60+
Oh good. I was worried about the Dodgers. Look like they might just have enough to be competitive now.
Phew, I’m glad the Dodgers were able to sign their big FA this offseason…I was worried!
Interesting Teo’s market stayed pretty much exactly the same from start to finish. I get that he’s a bit of a regression candidate, and QO attached, but between Soto going early for joke money, Yankees pivoting to Belli (taking Seiya off the trade market), would have thought someone would make an offer competitive enough to at least push the price up, or tack on another year. Dodgers might as well have re-signed him on day one.
SUNFLOWER SEEDS STONKS UP!!!
I see some folks got really in their feelings about the follow up tweet that was shared
The first modern spending team to take advantage of a no cap limit league with all free agents buying into deferred money. Only a couple teams in the league could pull it off. Washington didn’t go this hard with their moves.
More bad news for the Pete Alonso camp.
One more Hernández to go Friedman
Seemed like a long negotiation for what’s a pretty modest deal by Dodger standards
Because of the luxury tax, this contract will cost the dodgers over double the money.
Damn and I thought we had a chance to get him
Super cheep
I’m on day 10 of a nasty flu/walking pneumonia. This is, honestly, the first thing that has substantially brightened my mood.
