MLB Contracts With WEIRD Bonuses 

That’s savage

Did they shoot it down because he wasnt gonna be under contract? Or was he going to sign a $0 contract and the union shut that down?

@@krispypepper1898 It was because of the $0 value. He would have had a contract (for whatever it would have been worth) but no monetary compensation. This is a long time ago, obviously, but it's a funny story to look up if you can find it anywhere. Mets fans absolutely loved Turk, and he's still in the mix behind the scenes to this day in one capacity or another.

Nah fWAR is king 👑

union probably says no to WAR via b-ref or fWAR, but i could see it if you use whatever formula the pre arb pool uses (which is done differently for position players vs starting pitchers vs relief pitchers).

I think the teams are not allowed to do that as it would create a sort of conflict of interest.

MLB offers guaranteed contracts. You can't gari guarantee the value of the future value of a teams worth. It's not financially responsible to bet on a gamble over guaranteed monies

not so simple, but not a 20 min video version: mlb ruled in 1976 that at the end of the season, if you had 4 or more years in the majors and weren't signed through at least 1977, you became a free agent. the kicker? didn't need 4 full seasons, just a partial would do. so, wayne garland picked the exact right time to get good (20-7 record, 2.67 ERA, only going into age 26 season). became a free agent, had something like 10-15 teams drop a ticket to bid on him (that part needs a video too, as the early days of free agency was nothing close to what it is today). cleveland won him, he sucked, got injured, released 5 years in, got paid for another 5 (no incentive to take a buyout and try again, cause oh yeah, that was a thing too in free agency). now looking at the list, i see you mean richie zisk. zisk had a great 1977 with the white sox (30 homers, finished 8th in the a.l., after finishing 8th in the n.l. the year before when he hit 21, showing how much homers weren't hit too much in that era), rangers needed offense, paid a ton for him. both guys had the same agent (jerry kapstein) whom, from what little i've read about him, kinda was the scott boras of the 70's (which probably explains both guy's deals being so many years).

If the player is benched by a manager's decision, he might miss the record through no fault of his own, and could potentially have legal recourse.

He spent so much time on the Nelly and “what’s the Angels name this year” jokes, he forgot to concentrate on actual baseball information. He also states that the majority of the 10-year plus contracts were signed “in the last two calendar years” while she shows video of Bryce Harper signing with the Phillies…in 2019!!

STL Cardinals have the most World Series among National League teams!!!!

The person on the video sounded like a guy to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@MrLaneSir Rly? I always thought it was the Dodgers…

@@TheWallGuy No Sir it’s the Cardinals. The first time the STL Cardinals won back in 1926 was when the last out was recorded when Babe Ruth was caught stealing 2nd base. They won 11 World Series overall.

Uh, well . . . What about the Montreal Expos?

His final 4+ years with the Angels he had an OPS+ of 87 with -1.9 bWAR over that time. By the end of his time with the Angels he wasn't even a league average hitter and was below replacement level as an overall player. It was accurate to say he was "some burnout" in the back of his Angels contract. I also don't know where you're getting 2 WAR per season. He had 12.8 bWAR with the Angels in 10 seasons, not even close to 2 per year. He had even less fWAR in those 10 years, just 5.6. Finally, a 108 OPS+ may be above league average overall, but it's average at best for First Base. For example, last year leaguewide OPS+ for first basemen was 111. Any way you slice it, Pujols with the Angels was not good.

Nah I'm sick of the "Homer or strike out" turn baseball has had for like a decade. It's fkn boring and I stopped watching bc of it.

As in Schling had to weigh so much to be considered in shape. Basicaly the Red Sox didn't want him to be fat

“He made weight”, pretty sure he named all this kids “Weight” and every time he made one he got more money or smth like that

@@jonhunt2609 Ah okay. Thanks.

I heard that as well. This guy is interesting but does no research at all. I 2006 Albert was on that team so it was even his second ring.

@UCWzxhL9m2rE9X_1IOyYcsYA at 7:04 it is clearly said and 100% in correct
