    Kind of interesting what the biggest contracts in baseball do and dont do -- generally they do not make the playoffs. Is this Cole's fate, ala Scott Boras?

    Mike Trout LAA 12 years $430+ million/$35.8+M/year
    Bryce Harper Phils 13 years $330M/$25.3M
    Giancarlo Stanton Mia 13 years $325M/$25M
    Manny Machado SDP 10 years $300M/$30M
    Nolan Arenado Colo 8 years $260M/$32.5M
    Miguel Cabrera Det 8 years $248M/$31M
    Albert Pujols LAA 10 years $240M/$24M
    Robinson Cano Seat 10 years $240M/$24M
    Left off- Alex Rodriquez - lol

    Does MLB need a salary cap?

    I would be willing to let Correa go if we could get Rendon. Correa is pretty injury-prone and Rendon would probably love to play for his hometown team. We put him on 3rd and move Bregman to SS.

    History tells us there's a good chance 1 or more of these guys return home...Bailey the most likely to stick with the O's.

    Astros Win% by decade:

    1960s: .429
    1970s: .493
    1980s: .522
    1990s: .523
    2000s: .514
    2010s: .487

    Probably not what I would have guessed had I not looked first

    those 3 100 loss seasons balance the books against the 3 100 win seasons

    Makes you mad that they couldn't win a post season series in the 90s.

    Seems harsh
    I guess we can say at least they didnt ban Luhnow for life
    To me, the draft picks hurt the most. This sort of guts us because the slot values go away too, which will make it harder to sign other draft picks to above-slot money. The farm system is going to suffer for awhile.
