I can't believe that dipshit Hosmer turned down two 7 year deals( Padres, Royals) 140 plus million.

That alone should end this nonsense on collusion.

This isn't collusion. It is a market correction.

Only thing I can think of is he wants to go back to KC - awaiting a better offer from them maybe??

Besides that, he's fucking insane.

Hosmer is young and good. I'm surprised he hasn't jumped at a deal with one of them opt-out clauses that everyone seemed to love the last couple years.

He wants more than 7 years. Here’s the list of players who received contracts for 8 years or more: Jason Heyward, Robinson Cano, Prince Fielder, Albert Pujols, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Alfonso Soriano, Manny Ramirez, Mike Hampton. Not sure who he thinks his comp is.

Arod, Tex, Manny and Heyward all got rings...so the price was worth it.

A-Rod won his with a different team but that wasn't the point. Hosmer doesn't belong in that group of players. Like Heyward if the team that signs him wins he won't be the reason.

Slugging first baseman with marginal defense don't fetch a premium anymore. Hosmer is out of his mind for rejecting that.

They traded for CJ Cron, who makes 3 million less. And they can trade Dickerson.

Eric Hosmer and Corey Dickerson are both 28-years-old.

Since 2014, their WARs are 7.5 and 7.1 respectively.

Today, one signed a $144M deal and one got DFA’d.

You gotta be kidding me. Good glove, had a good season with the bat last year, a leader, has playoff experience....but $144 million?

I dont understand why Hosmer would go to the Padres. Surely there would be a team close to the playoffs that would give him a decent deal.

I am glad they didnt, but I thought he would be a good fit for the Cardinals and really help solidify their lineup.
