I thought we agreed that General Horseplay was allowed on Wednesday mornings?

I don't get it. Reports were that LA was his preferred choice.

State income tax in Cali is 13.3% over a million. Perhaps that weighed into it if contracts were close, take home would be moderately different.

@BNightengale
Yu Darvish had several 6-year offers, and also a creative 8-year proposal, before accepting his 6-year contract with the #Cubs

Of course he did.

This does not necessarily mean he took less money to be a Cub. He also received a no trade clause from the Cubs which may have been a sticking point as well.

Remember, the Cardinals offered Heyward more $ per year, but the Cubs offered more overall $ and we saw how that was spun.

What is a creative offer...buy up Hideki Matsui's porn collection and install a big screen booth in his locker?

And 8 year contract would be worth more total $$$ than a 6 year contract. FYI. Just admit your "lampoon" thread idea has backfired on you, ok.

Show your work.

It was a creative proposal. If you have the hard numbers on the proposal, share it with everyone.

The White Sox are going to offer Kris Bryant a $1 billion 1,000 year contract!

so you're saying the white sox are scientologists? seriously isn't that the kind of commitment you make to galactic lord xenu?

If the contract was FULLY guaranteed, like baseball contracts are, then yes, that is 1 billion dollars. Lot of money. Thank you for proving my point and have an excellent rest of your day!
