casimir Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I heard an interview with Jeff Passan and he was kind of going through the timeline of when a deal would need to be made in order for a normal baseball calendar season. His line of thinking was a deal by the beginning of February allows for enough time to have a free agent blitz followed by a reasonably normal spring training leading into Opening Day.

RandyMarsh Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I hope it gets resolved relatively quickly and the season starts on time. That would just be Detroit fans luck, they finally field a team that looks like they could at the very least be kinda competitive, especially if we do indeed sign one of the top SSs only for the season to get delayed.

Kind of like a 5 round draft in a year where you hold the top pick in each round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Don't worry. With Tony Clark in charge, the negotiations will be over after the first month. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your latest proposal is to lower the luxury tax by 30 million and install a floor, two things that can only **** off the players, it doesn't bode well.
