Those We Have Lost in 2020 - Part One
Those We Have Lost in 2020 â Part One
It has been a terrible year for families and friends across the globe. COVID-19 has wreaked havoc, not just directly but through its impact to many as governments battled the Pandemic, all trying different ways to battle it, some more successfully than others. The creative community was not immune to loss, and as the year progressed we lost others, too, to other causes. Here, we pay tribute toâŠ

Shohei Ohtani Signs With Angels.
The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes is officially over now that he has chosen a team to sign with. Ohtani will sign with the Los Angeles Angels after narrowing his list of teams earlier this week. The Angels will pay the Nippon Ham Fighters the $20 million posting fee then work out a contract with the Japanese star. Ohtani is a rare player, who can hit and pitch at a high level. I think he will start a league wide trend of players who can pitch and hit like Chris Gimenez. Gimenez wasnât the best pitcher, but he did save the bullpen a few nights last year. Ohtani will likely be a starting pitcher and play the outfield or designated hitter. It should be interesting to see what Mike Scioscia and the Angels do because everyone will be watching when he plays. He will team up with Mike Trout and Albert Pujols in a pretty good lineup with this new addition.Â
In other news, Tommy Watkins was named the new Chattanooga Lookouts manager. He replaces Jake Mauer, who held that role last year. Right now, the Twins donât have a manager for Rochester, Fort Myers, or Cedar Rapids. Mike Quade had a new role and wonât manage the Red Wings. Jake Mauer is in a new position and is not the manager of the Lookouts. Doug Mientkiewicz was fired and hired by the Toledo Mud Hens. Tommy Watkins moved up to Chattanooga. I heard that Toby Gardenhire might be managing in a minor league level for the Twins next season. He filled in for Mike Quade this past year at Rochester. More moves will be announced soon in the coming days.Â

MLB Transaction Watch: Manny Machado and the free agent freeze
At times it has felt like there has been a lot of action this offseason, however, for free agents that was a mirage. The vast majority of the action this postseason has been in the form of trades. Itâs been a downright frigid environment for all but a few of baseballâs free agents.
Earlier in the offseason I noted that the sheer number of free agents exploded at the non-tender deadline. There were 201 free agents at the start of the offseason, that then ballooned to 245 MLB players. Of those, four players have opted to retire (Adrian Beltre, Jaime Garcia, Chris Gimenez, and Joe Mauer). Which leaves us with 241 free agents and less than a month until pitchers and catchers report, so I wanted to take a minute to check in and see how things are shaping up for those free agents.
Not great, Bob. Not great.
Only 108 players have signed contracts as of January 15, meaning 56 percent of the free agent field is still available. That number alone is shocking, but the next one is worse. Only 29 of those contracts have been for more than a single year. Thatâs right, 73 percent of the contracts free agents have signed in 2019 were one-year deals. Thatâs at least 79 players who will turn right around and re-enter free agency next year, swamping the 2020 market with talent so we can do this whole dance all over again just in time for the 2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations.
While we can quibble about whether some of these players signed fair deals or whether the free agency contracts of the 2000s were overly lucrative (particularly for players over thirty) it seems pretty obvious that the baseball free agent market is broken. Some players have started speaking out about this more openly:
You may recognize blunt Jake Arrieta from previous Twitter appearances like: âWhatever keeps your hopes alive, just know it doesnât matter.â Suffice to say, the former Cubs ace doesnât mince words and after he sat out a similar free agent environment in 2018 before settling for a 3-year/$75 million deal with the Phillies Iâd say heâs uniquely qualified to be tuned into player sentiments on this issue.
Well, today Buster Olney leaked the apparent White Sox contract offer to Manny Machado into the same environment:
The numbers here are staggering. Manny Machado is a 26 year old infielder who has accumulated 33.8 bWAR in his first seven seasons in MLB. He is one of the most talented, and youngest, free agents to hit the open market in years. Itâs even more impressive than it sounds, here are the players in the last 50 years to accumulate more than 30 bWAR before turning 26:
Thatâs it. Thatâs the list.
So it seems reasonable that even in a market that has been a bit messed up Manny Machado should command one of the largest contracts ever, right? Well...
Letâs take a look at the largest baseball contracts in history. Below youâll see Fangraphsâ compilation of the 20 largest contracts in MLB history adjusted to 2019 dollars. I augmented it with bWAR information and each playersâ age at the time their contract was signed. Specifically, I added bWAR prior to the contract and bWAR accumulated during the life of the contract. Players currently in the middle of their contracts are in italics:
MLBâs most valuable contracts (AAV) adjusted to 2019 dollars by bWAR
Player Year Age Years 2019 Adjusted $ AAV 2019 Adjusted $ Total Actual bWAR over contract Actual bWAR/Mil $ Prior bWAR Prior bWAR/Mil $
Player Year Age Years 2019 Adjusted $ AAV 2019 Adjusted $ Total Actual bWAR over contract Actual bWAR/Mil $ Prior bWAR Prior bWAR/Mil $
Alex Rodriguez 2001 25 10 592 59.2 75.6 0.13 38.1 0.06 Manny Ramirez 2001 29 8 376 47.0 33.2 0.09 30 0.08 Alex Rodriguez 2008 32 10 448 44.8 23.4 0.05 94.4 0.21 Derek Jeter 2001 27 10 444 44.4 28.1 0.06 42.7 0.10 Kevin Brown 1999 34 7 297 42.4 16.7 0.06 45.5 0.15 Clayton Kershaw 2014 26 7 277 39.6 29.1 0.11 32.9 0.12 Jason Giambi 2002 31 7 276 39.4 22.2 0.08 29.3 0.11 Carlos Beltran 2005 28 7 263 37.6 21.8 0.08 45.8 0.17 CC Sabathia 2009 28 7 259 37.0 21.3 0.08 32.5 0.13 Ken Griffey Jr. 2000 30 9 330 36.7 13.3 0.04 64.1 0.19 Max Scherzer 2015 30 7 254 36.3 29 0.11 23.8 0.09 Mark Teixeira 2009 29 8 290 36.3 20.5 0.07 31.3 0.11 Joe Mauer 2011 28 8 289 36.1 21.9 0.08 33.2 0.11 Justin Verlander 2013 30 7 252 36.0 27.4 0.11 36.4 0.14 Albert Pujols 2012 32 10 358 35.8 13.3 0.04 86.8 0.24 Mike Hampton 2001 28 8 284 35.5 2.6 0.01 18.2 0.06 Prince Fielder 2012 28 9 319 35.4 6.8 0.02 16.8 0.05 Felix Hernandez 2013 27 7 245 35.0 17.1 0.07 33.9 0.14 Miguel Cabrera 2016 33 8 258 32.3 6.2 0.02 64.2 0.25 Robinson Cano 2014 31 10 310 31.0 23.6 0.08 45.5 0.15 Manny Machado (Offer) 2019 26 7 175 25.0 0.00 33.8 0.19
Player contracts adjusted to 2019 money by bWAR. bWAR is separated into accumulated prior to signing and during the life of the contract. Current contracted players in italics. Fangraphs and Baseball Reference compiled by Sara Sanchez
I also attempted to get an idea of the value of a million dollars per bWAR. Obviously this isnât an exact science, but it gives you an idea that for the most lucrative contract on this list (Alex Rodriguezâs original deal) he was paid $1 million for every .06 bWAR he had previously accumulated. Interestingly, that is one of the few deals that actually worked out. If you look at the actual bWAR/mil youâll see that he was paid $1 million for every .13 bWAR he accumulated. Higher numbers in the prior bWAR/mil indicate less value for the player based on previous performance. Higher numbers in the actual bWAR/mil indicated more value for the team based on actual performance.
In terms of player value, the White Sox offer to Machado is squarely in the bottom quarter of contract values for players. His 0.19 value there is tied for fourth lowest in the ranking of most lucrative contracts. The White Sox are basically trying to pay 26-year-old Manny Machado at rate similar to what the Reds paid 30-year-old Ken Griffey Jr. â 19 years ago.
Maybe you think thatâs okay. After all, Griffey is a Hall of Famer and we have no idea what the next 10 years of Machado will look like. However, it is worth noting that 33.8 bWAR before 26 just doesnât earn a player what it used to despite soaring baseball revenue, which goes a long way to explaining the MLBPAâs angst at current market conditions.
Just for fun I also calculated an average prior bWAR/mil to see if I could project what Machado should get with his numbers. I mean, after all, while there are bad deals in this mix, there are some good deals as well. Using those numbers the average prior bWAR/mil was 0.13, almost exactly the same as CC Sabathiaâs. Fortuitously, Sabathia signed a 7-year deal that is on the above table, so itâs easy to compare the two. Sabathiaâs deal was worth $259 million in 2019 adjusted dollars. Thatâs $84 million more than the White Sox are reportedly offering Machado. It seems like here is a good place to point out that Sabathia was two years older with an extra season under his belt and slightly less total prior bWAR than Machado when he signed that deal. So logically Iâd expect Machado to get more than Sabathia, not less.
Manny Machado should turn down this deal, and if I were in his camp Iâd be insulted by it. Other players currently on the market and approaching free agency should be up in arms. This deal tells us a lot about the current market conditions that players are facing and there is every indication that it is going to get worse before it gets better.
Not great, Bob. Not great.

30 best defensive prospects -- 1 for each team
MLB Pipeline recently unveiled its annual All-Defense Team, but there were only so many spots to fill. It made us realize there were so many outstanding defenders across all 30 organizations.
Evaluating defense is still very much subjective, with metrics measuring fielding still imperfect. Still, each system has glovework that stands out more than others, and we considered many to present one best defender from each organization.
American League East
Orioles: Cadyn Grenier, SS, No. 9 Grenier's stellar glovework at shortstop was key in helping Oregon State win the 2018 College World Series, and in the process, he established himself as one of the best defensive prospects in the Draft before going to the Orioles as the No. 37 overall pick. With good hands, plus arm strength and plenty of range, Grenier has all the ingredients needed to stick at the position long term.
Red Sox: Bobby Dalbec, 3B, No. 6 Dalbec has always possessed a strong arm and has worked hard to improve his agility and range at third base, with several Red Sox officials rating him as a plus defender and scouts outside the organization grading him more as solid. He also owns prodigious raw power and ranked second in the Minors in extra-base hits (70) and RBIs (109) last year, and fourth in homers (32).
Yankees: Estevan Florial, OF, No. 1 (MLB No. 45) Florial has some of the best all-around tools in the Minors, with well-above-average raw power, speed and arm strength. He continues to improve as a center fielder, projecting as a plus defender, and has an exceptionally strong arm for the position.
Rays: Lucius Fox, SS, No. 9 While there's no shortage of standout defenders in the highly athletic Rays system, Fox, a top-flight athlete with plus-plus speed, could be the best. He's played shortstop exclusively as a pro and committed 15 errors in 105 games last season while reaching Double-A at age 21. His athleticism makes him an electrifying defender, and he has the requisite physical tools to remain at the position for the long haul.
Video: EAST@WEST: Fox showcases range, slick glove in 3rd
Blue Jays: Kevin Vicuna, SS, unranked The Blue Jays felt so good about Vicuna's defense in 2017 that they had the then-19-year-old handle shortstop duties for Class A Advanced Dunedin from April 23-June 1, even though Vicuna previously had never played above the Rookie Gulf Coast League. He's an athletic and, at times, flashy defender, with quick, twitchy hands that help him absorb anything hit his way and a quick release that causes his average arm strength to play up across the infield.
AL Central
White Sox: Nick Madrigal, 2B, No. 5 (MLB No. 49) The White Sox may try Madrigal at shortstop, because he has the hands and actions to thrive there, but his average arm makes him a better fit at second base. With his quickness and instincts, he could be a Gold Glove Award winner at the keystone, and he also rated as the best pure hitter in the 2018 Draft, where he went No. 4 overall.
Video: Top Prospects: Nick Madrigal, 2B, White Sox
Indians: Eric Haase, C, No. 27 Haase reached the Majors for the first time late last season, seven years after the Indians took him in the seventh round of the 2011 Draft. Though he's blossomed on both sides of the ball during the past two seasons, it's been Haase's defensive gains that have helped him climb the Tribe's depth chart. After throwing out 37 percent of attempted basestealers in 2017, Haase improved that mark to nearly 49 percent in '18 (33 of 68).
Tigers:Â Jake Rogers, C, No. 12 The Tigers got Rogers as part of the Justin Verlander deal, and in Rogers' first full season with the organization, he cemented himself as the game's best defensive catching prospect, earning a spot on MLB Pipeline's All-Defense Team for the second year in a row. He threw out 55.6 percent of potential basestealers in 2018, upping his career rate to 48.5 percent.
Royals: Sebastian Rivero, C, unranked M.J. Melendez is very athletic for a catcher and has a chance to become a plus defender with an arm to match. Yet South Atlantic League managers rated Rivero, his teammate at Lexington last summer, the low Class A circuit's best defensive backstop in a Baseball America survey last year. The Royals liken Rivero to a young Salvador Perez, and in addition to his physical ability, Rivero also draws raves for his leadership skills, intelligence and work ethic.
Twins: Gilberto Celestino, OF, No. 14 Signed by the Astros for $2.5 million in 2015, Celestino made his United States debut in '17, then got dealt to the Twins in the Ryan Pressly trade last season. He's drawn comparisons to Albert Almora Jr. for his instincts in center, and coaches in Elizabethton feel he's one of the best defenders they've ever seen.
AL West
Astros: Myles Straw, OF, No. 15 Straw has double-plus speed that gives him tremendous range in center field, where his plus arm also stands out at a position not noted for strong throwers. That quickness also plays well on the bases (he topped the Minors with 70 steals in only 79 attempts in 2018) and allows him to beat out hits (he led the Minors with a .358 batting average in '16).
Angels: Jordyn Adams, OF, No. 6 The Angels signed Adams away from playing football and baseball at North Carolina, and he immediately put his tools on display during his pro debut and during instructs. He's still raw, but the Angels feel he has elite range and the highest ceiling as a defender in the organization.
A's: Nick Allen, SS, No. 15 Allen was viewed by many scouts as perhaps the best defensive prospect available in the 2017 Draft, and he's done nothing to diminish that reputation after signing for more than double slot value as the A's third-round pick. There is no doubt among scouts that Allen can stick at shortstop. He's already a plus defender there, with outstanding range that leads to many highlight-reel plays and plus arm strength that allows him to make throws from all over the diamond.
Mariners: Evan White, 1B, No. 5 It's not often a first baseman is mentioned as one of the premier defensive players in the Minors, but that's the reality with White, who recently was named to the All-Defense Team. All signs point to him becoming a Gold Glove Award winner at the position, as he's athletic with outstanding footwork, a strong arm and plus range. His ability to pick throws is elite, and he makes every infielder on his team better as a result.
Video: Top Prospects: Evan White, 1B, Mariners
Rangers: Jose Trevino, C, No. 28 Trevino won Rawlings Minor League Gold Gloves in both 2016 and '17, before surgery on his non-throwing shoulder last July squashed any chances of a three-peat. He's an outstanding receiver and blocker, gets the most out of his strong arm with a quick release and accurate throws and also earns high marks for his ability to run a pitching staff.
National League East
Braves:Â Cristian Pache, OF, No. 6 Â (MLB No. 68) Pache is generally considered to be the best defender in the Minor Leagues, leading our All-Defense Prospect Team. He has the speed and instincts to be a Gold Glove center fielder to go along with a right fielder's arm.
Video: Mayo looks at MLB Pipeline's 2019 All-Defense Team
Marlins: Jose Devers, SS/2B, No. 13 The cousin of Red Sox third basemen Rafael Devers, Jose was acquired by the Marlins last offseason in the blockbuster trade that sent Giancarlo Stanton to the Bronx. While he doesn't have his cousin's offensive profile, Devers is a far superior defender, with the soft hands, slick footwork and strong arm needed to be a big league shortstop. He showcased his defensive prowess last season, committing only seven errors and posting a .971 fielding percentage as an 18-year-old in full-season ball.
Mets: Andres Gimenez, SS, No. 1Â (MLB No. 55) The shortstop on our All-Defense Team, Gimenez reached Double-A in 2018 as a teenager. While he needs to add strength offensively, he has everything he needs to play shortstop defensively in the big leagues. He has plus hands, range and the internal clock to allow him to slow the game down.
Phillies: Luis Garcia, SS, No. 14 Signed for $2.5 million in July 2017, Garcia had a tremendous debut in the Gulf Coast League in '18 on both sides of the ball. He has a strong arm to go along with terrific hands and feet, and speed that gives him excellent range to stay at shortstop long term. He's only going to get better as he matures.
Nationals: Victor Robles, OF, No. 1 Revered as one of the top defenders in the Minor Leagues and a member of MLB Pipeline's All-Defense Team, Robles has game-changing abilities in center field. His near top-of-the-scale speed gives him range for days in center field, and he's made strides in improving both his reads and routes in the past two years. His plus-plus arm is among the strongest in the Minors, and he totaled 29 outfield assists from 2016-17 before an injury-plagued campaign in '18.
Video: Top Prospects: Victor Robles, OF, Nationals
NL Central
Cubs: Miguel Amaya, C, No. 1 (MLB No. 87) Amaya's defensive ability and makeup led the Cubs to sign him for $1.25 million out of Panama in 2015, and he continues to impress even though he has been pushed aggressively in the Minors. His aptitude to frame and block pitches is advanced for a teenager, and his arm strength has improved to at least solid and plays up because of his quick transfer and accuracy.
Reds: Mike Siani, OF, No. 9 The Reds' fourth-round pick got first-round money to sign because of his all-around tools. But his defensive skills have long stood out, and he might have been the best defensive outfielder in the 2018 Draft class, with the ability to cover a ton of ground in center and an arm that allowed him to throw low-90s fastballs from the mound in high school.
Brewers: Payton Henry, C, No. 11 A sixth-round pick in 2016 who signed for nearly twice his slot value, Henry threw out nearly 44 percent (46 of 105) of attempted basestealers and had only six passed balls in his first full season. A quick release and a strong, accurate arm help Henry to combat the running game, and evaluators have been impressed with how he's developed a receiving style that utilizes his big, athletic frame. Henry is also praised for his energy and leadership skills.
Pirates: Ke'Bryan Hayes, 3B, No. 2Â (MLB No. 48) Hayes was the third baseman on our All-Defense Team, and for good reason. He entered pro ball as one of the better defenders at the hot corner, but he's gotten even better as he's committed himself to his conditioning, adding to his agility and range to make him the best in the Minors at the position.
Cardinals: Delvin Perez, SS, No. 28 The Cardinals' first-round pick in 2016 has had trouble finding any traction offensively, but there are no concerns about his defensive chops. He gets plus grades on his arm and his overall fielding, thanks to a plus arm when he needs it, above-average hands and plus speed that helps him cover a lot of ground.
NL West
D-backs:Â Geraldo Perdomo, SS, No. 21 Perdomo's United States debut in 2018 was solid all-around, and he even earned a promotion from the Arizona Rookie League to the Pioneer League in the process. Tall and rangy, the teenager has shown the tools to stay at shortstop long term with outstanding range, actions and hands to go with a strong arm.
Rockies: Yonathan Daza, OF, No. 18 Thanks to his plus speed and fine instincts, Daza covers a lot of ground in center field, and he possesses a plus-plus arm that stands out at his position. He's also a career .310 hitter who won the Class A Advanced California League batting title in 2017 with a .341 mark.
Dodgers: Will Smith, C, No. 5 An outstanding athlete for a catcher, Smith has already shown that he's capable of playing third base and filling in at second. He has very soft hands and impressive agility, making him a fine receiver and framer, and he has a solid arm that plays better than that because of his fast footwork.
Padres: Buddy Reed, OF, No. 13 A member of MLB Pipeline's All-Defense Team, Reed's 70-grade speed and long, gliding strides allow him to cover huge swaths of territory in center field -- and he showcased that with his catch in last year's SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game. Reed also has a strong arm and recorded 12 outfield assists in 2018, surpassing his combined total from his first two seasons.
Video: WLD@USA: Reed wired up, makes great grab at the wall
Giants: Joey Bart, C, No. 1 (MLB No. 23) The No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 Draft, Bart draws more attention with his bat, but his work behind the plate is impressive as well. He has improved markedly since high school, when scouts wondered if he could stay at catcher, enhancing his agility and receiving and improving the accuracy of his strong arm.

So it seems reasonable that even in a market that has been a bit messed up Manny Machado should command one of the largest contracts ever, right? Well...
Letâs take a look at the largest baseball contracts in history. Below youâll see Fangraphsâ compilation of the 20 largest contracts in MLB history adjusted to 2019 dollars. I augmented it with bWAR information and each playersâ age at the time their contract was signed. Specifically, I added bWAR prior to the contract and bWAR accumulated during the life of the contract. Players currently in the middle of their contracts are in italics:

Player Year Age Years 2019 Adjusted $ AAV 2019 Adjusted $ Total Actual bWAR over contract Actual bWAR/Mil $ Prior bWAR Prior bWAR/Mil $
Alex Rodriguez 2001 25 10 592 59.2 75.6 0.13 38.1 0.06 Manny Ramirez 2001 29 8 376 47.0 33.2 0.09 30 0.08 Alex Rodriguez 2008 32 10 448 44.8 23.4 0.05 94.4 0.21 Derek Jeter 2001 27 10 444 44.4 28.1 0.06 42.7 0.10 Kevin Brown 1999 34 7 297 42.4 16.7 0.06 45.5 0.15 Clayton Kershaw 2014 26 7 277 39.6 29.1 0.11 32.9 0.12 Jason Giambi 2002 31 7 276 39.4 22.2 0.08 29.3 0.11 Carlos Beltran 2005 28 7 263 37.6 21.8 0.08 45.8 0.17 CC Sabathia 2009 28 7 259 37.0 21.3 0.08 32.5 0.13 Ken Griffey Jr. 2000 30 9 330 36.7 13.3 0.04 64.1 0.19 Max Scherzer 2015 30 7 254 36.3 29 0.11 23.8 0.09 Mark Teixeira 2009 29 8 290 36.3 20.5 0.07 31.3 0.11 Joe Mauer 2011 28 8 289 36.1 21.9 0.08 33.2 0.11 Justin Verlander 2013 30 7 252 36.0 27.4 0.11 36.4 0.14 Albert Pujols 2012 32 10 358 35.8 13.3 0.04 86.8 0.24 Mike Hampton 2001 28 8 284 35.5 2.6 0.01 18.2 0.06 Prince Fielder 2012 28 9 319 35.4 6.8 0.02 16.8 0.05 Felix Hernandez 2013 27 7 245 35.0 17.1 0.07 33.9 0.14 Miguel Cabrera 2016 33 8 258 32.3 6.2 0.02 64.2 0.25 Robinson Cano 2014 31 10 310 31.0 23.6 0.08 45.5 0.15 Manny Machado (Offer) 2019 26 7 175 25.0 0.00 33.8 0.19
Player contracts adjusted to 2019 money by bWAR. bWAR is separated into accumulated prior to signing and during the life of the contract. Current contracted players in italics. Fangraphs and Baseball Reference compiled by Sara Sanchez
I also attempted to get an idea of the value of a million dollars per bWAR. Obviously this isnât an exact science, but it gives you an idea that for the most lucrative contract on this list (Alex Rodriguezâs original deal) he was paid $1 million for every .06 bWAR he had previously accumulated. Interestingly, that is one of the few deals that actually worked out. If you look at the actual bWAR/mil youâll see that he was paid $1 million for every .13 bWAR he accumulated. Higher numbers in the prior bWAR/mil indicate less value for the player based on previous performance. Higher numbers in the actual bWAR/mil indicated more value for the team based on actual performance.
In terms of player value, the White Sox offer to Machado is squarely in the bottom quarter of contract values for players. His 0.19 value there is tied for fourth lowest in the ranking of most lucrative contracts. The White Sox are basically trying to pay 26-year-old Manny Machado at rate similar to what the Reds paid 30-year-old Ken Griffey Jr. â 19 years ago.
Maybe you think thatâs okay. After all, Griffey is a Hall of Famer and we have no idea what the next 10 years of Machado will look like. However, it is worth noting that 33.8 bWAR before 26 just doesnât earn a player what it used to despite soaring baseball revenue, which goes a long way to explaining the MLBPAâs angst at current market conditions.
Just for fun I also calculated an average prior bWAR/mil to see if I could project what Machado should get with his numbers. I mean, after all, while there are bad deals in this mix, there are some good deals as well. Using those numbers the average prior bWAR/mil was 0.13, almost exactly the same as CC Sabathiaâs. Fortuitously, Sabathia signed a 7-year deal that is on the above table, so itâs easy to compare the two. Sabathiaâs deal was worth $259 million in 2019 adjusted dollars. Thatâs $84 million more than the White Sox are reportedly offering Machado. It seems like here is a good place to point out that Sabathia was two years older with an extra season under his belt and slightly less total prior bWAR than Machado when he signed that deal. So logically Iâd expect Machado to get more than Sabathia, not less.
Manny Machado should turn down this deal, and if I were in his camp Iâd be insulted by it. Other players currently on the market and approaching free agency should be up in arms. This deal tells us a lot about the current market conditions that players are facing and there is every indication that it is going to get worse before it gets better.
Not great, Bob. Not great.

Com RedeTV! em crise, Luciana Gimenez tem dificuldades para vender sua mansĂŁo com valor impressionante; confira

Em tempos de dificuldades, a RedeTV! decide cortar ainda mais gastos, e com essa decisão, muitos apresentadores serão afetados, como por exemplo, Luciana Gimenez, que apresenta SuperPop e Luciana by Night. A apresentadora que estå passando por dificuldade em vender seu apartamento milionårio teve que tomar uma atitude dråstica.
Segundo o colunista FlĂĄvio Ricco, do UOL, a alta cĂșpula do canal proibiu os programas de convidar artistas de fora de SĂŁo Paulo para serem entrevistados. Com essa decisĂŁo, a emissora pretende melhorar a sua situação financeira.
+Briga de Luciana Gimenez e Val Marchiori pega fogo na RedeTV, outra apresentadora se envolve na confusĂŁo e consequĂȘncias assustam
A ordem tambĂ©m pretende evitar gastos diversos como passagens aĂ©reas e hospedagens. De acordo com o colunista FlĂĄvio Ricco, a nova exigĂȘncia do canal serĂĄ devastadora para programas como os de Luciana Gimenez, Daniela Albuquerque e Mariana Godoy. As comunicadoras costumam receber em seus formatos famosos que vivem no Rio de Janeiro.
AlĂ©m disso, existe tambĂ©m um desfalque de produtores. Os profissionais muitas vezes acabam tendo que trabalhar em mais de uma atração do veĂculo de comunicação. Vale lembrar que em março, a empresa iniciou uma sĂ©rie de demissĂ”es.

Twins Stave Off Angels For Win!
Angels 4 Twins 5 W-Gibson (5-6) L-Ramirez (7-7) SV-Kintzler (22)
The Minnesota Twins have not played well at home this year, but that might change on this homestand. Minnesota won last night and played pretty well on the 4th of July this afternoon. The Angels got the scoring started today on this hot day. Yunel Escobar led-off the second with a single and Luis Valbuena doubled him home. Kyle Gibson got out of the jam and the Halos led by one after an inning and a half. In the bottom of the second, Eduardo Escobar was drilled by a JC Ramirez fastball in the leg. Chris Gimenez singled and Ehire Adrianza tied the game up with a sacrifice fly to left. Neither side would score until the fifth when Byron Buxton led-off with a single. Buxton stole second and scored on a Robbie Grossman double to put the Twins up. The next batter, Joe Mauer lined a run-scoring single to left to extend the lead. Kole Calhoun cut into the Twins lead in the sixth. Calhoun smoked a Kyle Gibson slider out to right for a solo blast. This pulled the Halos within a run, but the Twins would answer. Eddie Rosario led-off the sixth with a double and Chris Gimenez bunted him over. Ehire Adrianza hit another sac fly and Minnesota had a 4-2 edge. The next batter, Byron Buxton drilled a Blake Parker fastball out to left-center for a solo shot. The Twins had a three-run lead and it seemed like all was fine. That was not the case as Albert Pujols launched a Taylor Rogers fastball out for his 603rd home run of his career. Anaheim was within two runs after eight frames and Brandon Kintzler came on. Andrelton Simmons led-off the ninth with a single and Nick Franklin walked. Ben Revere hit into a fielderâs choice, but Ehire Adrianza threw the ball away. Simmons scored on the play and the Angels were a run behind. Kintzler then got Martin Maldonado to hit into a game-ending double play and the Twins took the first two games from the Angels at Target Field.Â
-Final Thoughts- Kyle Gibson pitched very good today. His pitches were working and he threw strikes. He went 6 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks. Itâs hard to remember the last time two consecutive starts for the Twins went 6 2/3 and 7 innings. Taylor Rogers gave up a run in 1 1/3 innings and Brandon Kintzler allowed a run, but picked up his 22nd save. Byron Buxton led the team with three hits on the day. Robbie Grossman had two as well. The team hit 3-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base. It was another solid game for the Twins, who are now three games above .500. Tomorrow, Parker Bridwell faces off with former Angel Ervin Santana in the finale.Â
