Isnt $70 mil/yr what BALT and TB payroll was last year? I know that you cant just buy a WS ring (hi NYM) but at some point MLB has to address the crazy competitive imbalance under the current financial system.
I'd keep Festa and bet on him being good for TC for multiple years. Not trade him for maybe 2 years of a guy probably about to start or already in his downhill run.
500 innings in CF would be 55.5 games. With his history I dont really see him going from less then 1 minor league game in CF last year to 55 MLB games this year.
Yup. Thats why I've wanted them to tank all year. Teams going nowhere absent a major rebuild. Now because of a little win streak stoking delusions they will be in crap draft position. Again.
