@BleacherNation I'm guessing Happ and Seiya would waive their NTC if there's no possibility of an extension and if they are going to a contender. The return wouldn't be so great, but something is better than nothing.
We're in a new #MLB reality. Teams that try to hover around the CBT threshold are like middling #NBA teams vying for the play-in. You've got to either blow the spending out of the water or have exciting players on rookie contracts. This is the problem with the #Cubs and #Padres
@threeinningfan Personally, I think the $171.2M floor is a great start. It does seem both sides are here to make a deal vs. fight to the death throughout next winter. If they make the floor $150M and the cap $300M (with annual increases) then I actually think a deal gets done before October.
