    It’s mostly about the Ohtani contract and the Dodgers taking that loophole to the extreme. Over $1 billion in deferred salary is ridiculous… The players will need to receive something in return for a cap, and I think the best way to get players money earlier in their career. Spit balling here, but they could revamp the initial control years to 2 minimum contract years then 2 arbitration/restricted FA years. MLB gets a younger FA pool which increases fan interest.

    No arguments from me on the 3 names. Bummed about Royce, but it's time for a fresh start for both the Twins and him. Ober is going to cost too much on his last arb year, and probably why Zoll valued Kremer's 2027 option year in a trade, Others I will add to the list are Austin Martin and Matt Wallner.

    We will have all the time in the world to discuss this in more detail... A cap and floor needs to happen. Equal revenue sharing throughout the league, deferrals in contracts eliminated. The players in return get a reduction from 6 years of control to 4 so they can reach FA or get their 2nd contract earlier in their career.

    2024 is #1 and it's not even close. They had a 90% chance of making the playoffs heading into September, peaked at 13 games over .500 on September 2nd, and fell flat on their face for a 9-18 record.

    Gonna be honest I’ve only watched a majority of 1 game over the last week or more. It’s getting really old watching the same nose dive year after year.
  6. Vanimal46
    Simply for the fact that the Pohlads aren’t going to pay 3 manager salaries in 1 year. I have no idea how much longer we are paying out Rocco since manager contracts are treated like nuclear missile codes in Minnesota.

    After further review… let me ask a Jets fan like yourself. They already have 3 1st round picks this next draft. Plenty of ammo to move up to a top 3 pick regardless. Maybe they’ll try to win? Cant say that for Miami. They are unapologetically tanking while the enormous dead cap hit passes.
  8. Vanimal46
    The Jets and Dolphins both actively tanking will probably get them to the wild card

    The Patriots are a pretty clear regression team this year. Their schedule last season was, IIRC hearing on Sirius XM, the easiest for any team since 1983.
  10. Vanimal46
    And unfortunately in the NFL there are no cupcakes to schedule like NCAA football scheduling a directional state school the first couple of weeks.
  11. Vanimal46
    The Twins have had a player talent deficiency for several years now. I’m placing more blame on the FO that has control of the roster instead of the manager. Something is still rotten in this organization after the fire sale and firing of Rocco/other coaches.
  12. Vanimal46
    I mean, I would argue it’s been pretty bad baseball to watch post All Star break once again.
  13. Vanimal46
    If Darnold is out multiple weeks, or god forbid the season, that changes everything for Seattle. Drew Lock ain’t it.
  14. Vanimal46
    I would be no better than Jim Pohlad looking through media guides when he hired Derek Falvey… I would be very interested in someone from Milwaukee, Tampa, or St Louis’ FO. Maybe AJ Preller’s second hand person in San Diego who makes aggressive moves all the time.
  15. Vanimal46
    I would much rather hire a different GM who can align with Shelton. I don’t think Zoll is the guy to lead us out of this mess.
  16. Vanimal46
    The OL rankings is why I think the Bengals are going to sneak into the playoffs over the Texans. Love Houston's defense, but their OL looks catastrophically bad.
  17. Vanimal46
    Agreed, I think GB finishes 4th in the North and they fire MLF. Jordan Love will be the next QB on a big contract exposed as nothing more than average like Tua and Kyler.

    Future gold glover Luke Keaschall with the sliding catch! Winner!
  20. Vanimal46
    Feels like time is running out with Royce Lewis in Minnesota… 0-4 tonight
  21. Vanimal46
    Which team says no? Royce Lewis for Spencer Torkelson this offseason
  22. Vanimal46
    I like the Jaguars out of every team in those divisions. NFC South has Todd Bowles on the hot seat in TB, Falcons are a sneaky top 5 draft pick team, and Panthers similar to last year 8-9. Texans I know will have a legit defense but their OL looks catastrophic for their offense. Colts are one of the teams that exist in the NFL, and the Tennessee Titans are so forgetful I legitimately took a minute to think of the last team in this division.
  23. Vanimal46
    A fellow Saints believer! They’ve had a sneaky good offseason and I think Shough is good enough to compete for that crap division. Plus consistency in their coaching staff.
  24. Vanimal46
    Bears back to back NFC North titles eh? If that’s the case then Caleb Williams became the real deal. I think they’ve skirted by all offseason without any fraud discussions taking place. Even though they won 7 games trailing at the 2 minute warning in the 4th quarter.
  25. Vanimal46
    I have to think Walker Jenkins’ .150 BABIP entering today will turn around some day.
