I'm financially literate and have way more than I need to retire, however, you guys and baseball contracts are 10 levels above normal human processing. I come here just to read all your comments and am astounded how good you all are with managing baseball contracts.

After having his best season in 2024, he had his worst season in 2025...at the age of 38. I'll bet Angels fans (both of them) are just thrilled.

Even if Williamson was Brooks Robinson defensively he needs to have at least a MLB average bat. Otherwise he's Evan White 2.0.

We can now get Anthony Rendon to play 3b. All of the Mariners problems will be over with that bat.

No sarcasm whatsoever. I was giving all you guys a true compliment. Your knowledge of baseball contracts and trade possibilities makes reading these posts a pleasure each day.

Didn't you hear, Stanton's filling for bankrupty. Him & his $2.4 billion valuation. Poor guy.
