I have a bet with a friend about DJM's contract. He took the under at 66.5m. I took the over. I know the market is bad, but if DJM doesn't get more than 66.5m, I'd be shocked. He is one of the best hitters in the game right now and he plays good defense. He is also 32, though, so it is possible he can't get a 4 year deal and settles for a 3. If so, I doubt I win.

Only the 60 game season has reduced the contract figures, but now they're giving $20 mil in 2021 to Roark and Ray.
We all know starting pitching is somewhat of a calculated gamble; while it's more money than I would have liked, it's one year - I'm ok with taking a shot on the significant upside - it was only 3 years ago he finished 7th in Cy Young voting, and he apparently significantly reworked his mechanics last off-season ... and if it turns out he can't cut it in the rotation maybe he can become an Andrew Miller type.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Go and sign a steady middle of the rotation guy like Odorizzi and the like, don't go chasing after fools gold in walk machines like Ray."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

The Big Unit had a 6.2 BB/9 in his age 28 season (Ray is 29). Now obviously Ray is not going to duplicate that path, but it's certainly not a bad gamble for one season.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I wonder if this is a precursor to trading prospects to try and replace Ozuna. I would think these signings make it quite difficult to sign Ozuna, but I'm unaware of the specifics of ATL's payroll. I guess Hamels' $18M deal is done, so that helps balance the ledger.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."
