@StarPlatinum_ If he had lost that $50,000 using the exact same kiosk strategy, Caesars would have gladly kept every single penny. Double standard is insane.

@galiotbr People ran with it because they wanted it to be true

@RyanGarciaMLB I think guys with 3+ years of control could still get dealt, assuming their team wants to trade them for whatever reason

54 regular season games is 1/3 of the value for a rental, but 1/9 for a player with 3 years

[I Love Advertising 🇺🇸 @SayomGD]

@RyanGarciaMLB I think we're going to see a moratorium on rental trades until the CBA is resolved

Prospects and players on long-term contracts are worth basically the same if 2027 is shortened, but the rentals are not, and their price fluctuates based on how many games we play

@AniruddhC1108 Jadan Baugh will make someone really happy if he gets taken 28th

If he goes 8th the team that takes him is passing on good players who would fill way bigger needs

It's not bad for NFL teams to invest in RBs; it's bad for them to invest in RBs with *very high draft capital*

On the open market positional value is baked into the price. Elite edges cost $45M and elite RBs cost $20M.

In the draft slot values are set regardless of position.

@mavmade2 100%

RBs matter for sure, but OL run blocking matters more than RB quality if you want a strong run game

Yards before contact > yards after contact

[I Love Advertising 🇺🇸 @SayomGD]

@mavmade2 You can't really assume any sure things in the draft, even when the player seems really "safe"

That's why the elite prospect RB argument doesn't hold water with me

Highly drafted players go bust all the time, including RBs

[I Love Advertising 🇺🇸 @SayomGD]

@mavmade2 It's hard to talk about this objectively when you have hindsight bias

Gonzalez and Carter were obv not guaranteed to pan out at the time, but neither were Robinson or Gibbs

Fournette didn't pan out, and Jeanty and Hampton don't look like good picks right now either

In my unbiased opinion, these are the most prestigious honours in MLB:

1. AL Reliever of The Year
2. AL Team Gold Glove
3. AL All-Star Leading Vote Getter
4. Cy Young 2nd Placer
5. June AL Rookie Of The Month

@mavmade2 In both scenarios I get a back and a receiver

But in the draft I can get an elite player for a discounted cost and in free agency I can't

CMC and Romeo Doubs make basically the same amount of money, even though one is clearly better

So I'll sign my backs and draft my WRs

[I Love Advertising 🇺🇸 @SayomGD]

@mavmade2 Just a hypothetical example

Let's say I can draft anybody with my first round pick, and let's say I have $20M to spend on a free agent player

Would you rather draft Ja'Marr Chase and sign Christian McCaffrey

Or

Draft Bijan Robinson and sign Romeo Doubs

The Yankees have taken home at least one of the major AL awards (MVP, Cy Young, ROTY, MOTY) for 5 straight seasons

2022 - Judge MVP
2023 - Cole Cy Young
2024 - Judge MVP, Gil ROTY
2025 - Judge MVP
2026 - Schlittler Cy Young

[New York Yankees @Yankees]

CY State of Mind.

Cam Schlittler is your 2026 American League Cy Young Award Winner!

Drafting an elite edge at $15M AAV when a player of that caliber would get $45M in free agency means you generated +$30M of value with that pick

Drafting an elite RB at $15M AAV when a player of that caliber would get $20M in free agency means you only generated +$5M

[I Love Advertising 🇺🇸 @SayomGD]

That means, if you want to offer a good RB a 4/60 contract in free agency, hell yeah, go for it. That's fair value.

But, in the draft, you want to prioritize positions that are more expensive to acquire via trade or free agency. You prob won't be able to find them another way.
