@10Kbadmedia @tlschwerz I think that makes it fun!

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@MitchMacVicar @TalkinBaseball_ Would you wear a cross?

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@greggtmasterson And Quebec!

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@tlschwerz Maybe they want to test out Clemens for a few more games, and wait until Burton is healthy before jettisoning Outman

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@tlschwerz Well they still got a lot of value out of him and Martin

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@greggtmasterson You are ok with the Twins spending a fraction of the big teams?

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@champ_sasaki What makes you so qualified? No need to be a jerk.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@ZackScottSports I think there’s a fair amount of luck baked into acquisition, draft, and development!

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@AllAmPotatoes @fakesportsbot @907username @JeffPassan I just don’t get why you are so worked up about it. I guess we could ban deferred money but who cares? That’s not why the Dodgers got him and not what allows them to run high payrolls.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@AllAmPotatoes @fakesportsbot @907username @JeffPassan Because they only have him under team control for 10 years. He just wanted to defer the money to avoid US taxes.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@AllAmPotatoes @fakesportsbot @907username @JeffPassan Who cares how it was reported. The cost to the team, and the benefit to the player, is the equivalent of $45/year while he’s playing, which is when the CBT hit should occur.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@tlschwerz Not a Tait believer?

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@AllAmPotatoes @fakesportsbot @907username @JeffPassan It should be $45, which is what $70 in 2040 is worth today

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@AllAmPotatoes @fakesportsbot @907username @JeffPassan Yeah but $70 in 2040 is like $45 today. It’s the same thing economically. Anyone who was willing to pay $45 today would have been fine paying $70 in 15 years.

@NickNelsonMN Given that they have a playoff spot right now I’m pretty happy!

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@Michaelmor75127 @JeffPassan How is it a problem since anyone is allowed to do it.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@907username @JeffPassan You mean count the deferred salary in the playing year? That doesn’t bother me. It just makes it harder for the team deferring salary in the future.

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@Stoke63538501 @Twins Down to three!

[Andy's Baseball @AndysBaseball]

@_willyjay19 @NickNelsonMN They won’t get hardly anything in return for those guys though. And Jeffers will be leaving, would be good to get something for him
