The big news this week is the Dodgers winning the Kyle Tucker and the Mets grabbing Bo Bichette. It’s some big money. Kyle Tucker is getting that partially deferred 60MM AAV and Bo Bichette is getting an player option protected 43MM AAV.
I don’t begrudge them. They’re both at the top of a very high profile profession where the top get the tippy-top cash. It might be getting hard to see anything but the bucks though. It’s not life changing money here as much as it is multi-generational changing money. But does it change the way you think of baseball?
We’ve talked to death about the salary cap and floor issues. And we’ll get more discussions than we want while we wait out the 2027 season next April. So I’m throwing this out there. Must be nice to fight over millions, I guess.
