2058 Free Agency round 1 signings

[Kingdom]

...feels more of a :hammered:

[Mach]

If you're telling me to take Hinson at 29 in a 6 year deal worth 20 mil per, or Pete Rose at 39 in a 3 year deal worth 15 mil per I will be taking Hinson every time, and I'm sure Mach would as well.

Aye. In fact, if Taylor would have been traded, I would have been making that offer. I have no qualms with the Hinson deal. I also have more money than the Federal Gov't spends.

[Mach]

Well, Mach would take both, actually.

Bingo.

[Mach]

Im not telling you to take anything.

The only thing I don't like about the Rose deal is the third year. Funny thing is, his worst signing was probably Madlock.

Hinson is solid but 20×6 is a lot.

You can't justify a bad contract by pointing out others.

I'm banking on retirement at that point, and even if he doesn't, it's not like it matters.

Seeing how Hammer said he considered to offer 19M/8yrs I don't think the 20M/6yrs offer was really bad at all. I feel I was right in the ballpark for what Hinson deserved to be paid.

[Mach]

Yeah the Madlock is the ridiculous deal of round 1 if we need to really point one out. That's hilariously bad.

I think there are 3

"Deserved"

And just because someone else was willing to shell out a contract like that doesn't make it any less of an overpay.

Like I said, Hinson's solid, but not worth max. I even threw a 14×6 out there knowing I'd be outbid. Production wise, I felt my offer was an overpay. Four years removed from his last .900 OPS season.

I'm not trying to criticize your signing, but the way you justified it.

[Providence A's]

I wouldn't be surprised if Rose retires before that deal ends making the 2nd and/or 3rd years irrelevant.

[Slyder]

I wouldn't bet on Rose retiring before year 3.

[Kingdom]

Cue blowing out his knees

[Mach]

I wouldn't bet on Rose retiring before year 3.

shall we make a bet?

[Slyder]

shall we make a bet?

If Pete Rose can lose money betting on baseball what chance do I have. I was just making light of Rose's real life "history".
