@WFAN660 Bad claim comparing his SB winning bonus and taxes he pays against entire annual salary
Darnold
salary $33.5m
$1m in SB bonus from team
$178,000 for winning SB
Pays $249,000
BECAUSE HE MADE $34,678,000!
24 of 32 States with NFL teams have the jock tax.
There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
@msargeant29@ZackMann1997 Very interesting take. The possibility of a TV deal at the time was probably a huge factor driving interest in prospective purchasers.
@JCA_BelAir@tgriffith1992 Interest in baseball has always been driven by those compensated the very most. The franchises that have spent the most are the most valuable franchises because they control the most valuable assets (players).
Accelerating free agency would build more wealth than a hard cap.
@LesterD91847746@BrianKirwin Okay, I’m dumb I read that wrong. They’re getting the best pitcher virtually free, and can’t spend behind him to bolster their roster. Got it!
@LesterD91847746@BrianKirwin What Skenes is paid now isn’t a product of the Pirates cheapness, but the fact that they haven’t offered him a *thinks of crazy numbers* 20 year $1.2 billion dollar contract definitely is!
@atrupar The Nats are lowkey my fav team this year because they score the most runs and also ALLOW the most runs. Each game like the ninth round of a Rocky Balboa fight
