THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
The idea is to care more about 2020 than 2014?Is it really though? What if the idea is to win long term?
I have done this pretty regularly in the WBL.

I think the idea is that you gain all of 2020 in exchange for 9 games in 2014.
It's 9 days. Maybe a bit longer if Epstein doesn't want to be super obvious about it. The overall season difference between Bryant and Mike Olt for those 7-15 games is going to be pretty slim. The cost is pretty low for as big of a benefit an extra year of team control can be.
The only problem is Boras' long memory. These nine days in AAA gain the Cubs and extra year of control but increase the odds that K Bryant heads out of town the first chance he gets. If the agent was anybody but Boras.... But of course, injuries could happen, DUIs, PEDs, hookers and blow, you name it.
Psst The Rockies opening day Starter is Kyle Kendrick.
I know.
God we're so screwed. Save us, Eddie Butler and Jon Gray!
Guys stop making me regret going to that game.
I am not sure the Cubs cared much about 2014The idea is to care more about 2020 than 2014?
whats the point in only 9 days being the gap?
Waiting nine games doesn't give him a yrs worth of service time..whats the point in only 9 days being the gap?
You misunderstood the questionWaiting nine games doesn't give him a yrs worth of service time..
You misunderstood the question
Kind of. Whydid they arrive at 9 days?Did I answer it a bit?
It just seems so weird, why would any team not wait?That I can't tell you. It's 5% of the service time max (182 days) so maybe that's how it came about.
The Bryant situation is actually pretty rare. Usually guys join the team mid-year. A lot of the guys that start the year as a rookie with zero service often get called down at some point. Or a guy will get a September call up the year before so you'd have to send someone down at least a month.It just seems so weird, why would any team not wait?
Nah I didn't start Francisco Colon in the minors this year.Doh can you change your WBL name to the Las Vegas Affronters pls
