As of now... Bear in mind anytime anybody on a split contract goes up and down from the minors, their number changes.

Now that the opening day salaries are out, I feel pretty comfortable posting this. I still don't know major league splits of guys who started in the minors or cash amounts recieved for Smith and Malloy, but here is roughly where we stand. Player Framber Valdez $36,466,899.38 Tarik Skubal $32,000,000.00 Javier Baez $23,333,333.33 Gleyber Torres $22,025,000.00 Jack Flaherty $17,500,000.00 Kenley Jansen $11,000,000.00 Justin Verlander $10,013,204.43 Kyle Finnegan $9,500,000.00 Drew Anderson $7,000,000.00 Casey Mize $6,150,000.00 Riley Greene $5,000,000.00 Colt Keith $4,773,750.00 Zach McKinstry $4,200,000.00 Spencer Torkelson $4,075,000.00 Will Vest $3,950,000.00 Kerry Carpenter $3,275,000.00 Matt Vierling $3,255,000.00 Jake Rogers $3,050,000.00 Tyler Holton $1,575,000.00 Enmanuel De Jesus $1,300,000.00 Beau Brieske $1,157,500.00 Dillon Dingler $834,900.00 Jahmai Jones $832,200.00 Reese Olson $818,100.00 Parker Meadows $805,300.00 Connor Seabold $800,000.00 Brant Hurter $796,200.00 Trey Sweeney $788,700.00 Troy Melton $785,500.00 Jackson Jobe $784,300.00 Bailey Horn $784,100.00 Kevin McGonigle $780,000.00 Wenceel Perez $764,521.93 Keider Montero $760,499.84 Sawyer Gipson-Long $398,462.43 Ty Madden $380,700.00 Brenan Hanifee $324,829.00 Grant Holman $300,615.45 Jace Jung $127,100.00 Drew Sommers $127,100.00 Yoniel Curet $114,186.10 Hao Yu Lee $63,600.00 Thayron Liranzo $63,600.00 Jake Miller $63,600.00 Eduardo Valencia $63,600.00 Trei Cruz $63,600.00 Tomas Nido $0.00 Burch Smith $0.00 Tanner Rainey $0.00 Bryan Sammons $0.00 Konnor Pilkington $0.00 Troy Watson $0.00 Scott Effross $0.00 Ricky Vanasco $0.00 Corey Julks $0.00 Jack Little $0.00 Tyler Mattison $0.00 Tyler Owens $0.00 Sean Guenther $0.00 Dugan Darnell $0.00 Matt Seelinger $0.00 Dylan Smith -$96,601.60 Justyn-Henry Malloy -$100,000.00 Eduardo Rodriguez -$933,333.33 Player Salaries $221,895,066.95 Pre-Arb Bonus Pool $1,666,666.67 Player Benefits $18,000,000.00 CBT Payroll $241,561,733.62 CBT Threshold $244,000,000.00 CBT Room $2,438,266.38

Flaherty and Torres got that as well.

Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Please let these LIV rumors be true.

Or they had extra bonus money to offer him, just from having the high bonus pool and extra 5% overage, that they were able to give him another that teams at the some teams at the back end of the first round weren't able to match without blowing up picks later on.

You can make the argument McGonigle, or at least the pick he was drafted with, was a consequence of the team's downturn. It was a competitive balance selection, which you get if you are revenue sharing recipient. The first several years of this system (after the first), the Tigers were revenue sharing payees. That started changing in 2019 when the revenue sharing formula caught up to their dropoff. I honestly have no idea if things will turn back in the coming years taking that pick away or not. Anyways, the Tigers' competitive balance selections. 2013 (2nd round): Traded in the Infante/Sanchez/Turner trade. Received competitive balance 1st round pick (Corey Knebel) 2020 (2nd round): Danny Cabrera 2021 (1st round): Ty Madden 2022 (2nd Round): Traded with Isaac Paredes for Austin Meadows 2023 (1st round): Kevin McGonigle 2024 (2nd Round): Ethan Schiefelbein 2025 (1st round): Michael Oliveto

I don't know who "they" is, but in the myriad national podcasts/ outlets I read, some behind paywalls, I have heard 80 hit thrown around about him but don't remember by whom.

McGonigle has an 80 hit. Iorg was a 20 hit. Tooled up across the board except for the most important one.

I don't know if anybody who can't spot the difference between Cale Iorg and Kevin McGonigle is worth even acknowledging.

Does Gonzales step down if not for Swalwell, or is this similar to Gaetz and the ethics report is that bad. I mean... it is entirely plausible he murdered that girl. Suicide by jumping into a fire just reeks of "she was pushed in."

I have heard from multiple people that the ANWA is the best spectator experience, for what it's worth. I forget the mechanics of the lottery, but do have my calendar set for June 1.

And also population growth.

"There's no misinformation from the left" is a helluva stance to take amidst a flood of social posts from Brian Tyler Cohen.

This is so dumb. The games behind a streaming paywall now used to be the 5th game on CBS at 4:00 and unavailable to be watched outside of their local markets.

But Sweeney had a setback, so you can just 60-Day him and make the move.

I feel pretty confident in saying his was worse, but I never know these days. If I remember right, he said when Go was signed that it was Korean for "Kenta Maeda." Things may get a little worse when crossing ethnicities. Either way, I was reminded of Seinfeld's "I was offended as a comedian!" line when talking about the dentist's antisemitic jokes. Regardless, he sucked (in a very small sample size) and went.

I know I have given so many of you a hard time about parroting things heard on Stavenhagen's podcast. A one-off line on this morning's about regretting giving up Malloy because of Jones' 0/8 start had me look up Malloy's numbers. I beg of you to look up his Durham stat line before pining for him to return. (As I type this, 0/27 with a .156 OPS)

I had to unfollow him on Twitter because of some retweets. He probably consulted it before the Karim Garcia trade!

In a classic case of jokes writing themselves, Woo-Suk Go was demoted to Erie after putting up a 20+ ERA to date in Toledo.

And then the guy spending the week as a mouthpiece for another dictator takes over...

I am scared.

Datagolf Live Blog should be good: https://datagolf.com/live-blog/masters-2026

The Fried Egg has been knocking it out of the park lately. I already linked the SGS episode on Tiger (very sober, real discussion). This week on the Masters, an incredible hole-by-hole of Augusta with strategy, design history, colorized photos of the original: https://www.thefriedegg.com/articles/masters-augusta-national-course-map-history A visitor's guide to Augusta: https://www.thefriedegg.com/guides/visitors-masters-guide-augusta-national-tips Blurbs on every player in the field: https://www.thefriedegg.com/articles/2026-masters-field-player-list-augusta-national-history And some really good ANWA coverage as well. The Fried Egg and Data Golf are standing out as the best two resources for golf coverage these days.

Liranzo was on the injury report... Oblique

He's in Erie.
