@MitchBannon Mitch you gotta work an “it’s a long season” in there. “Marathon, not a sprint,” perhaps?

There's gonna be a lot of #BlueJays Opening Day roster discourse the next few days. But, a reminder, NONE of the six pitchers the Jays used on Opening Day last year were on the postseason roster. Three weren't even in the org.

Normally, you'd just divide the $107M by 7 years to get the new AAV ($15,285,714). But the Phillies will be overcharged by $4.75M across 2025-26, so that gets subtracted out of the new AAV calculation. So Sánchez's AAV is $102.25M / 7 years ($14,607,143), instead.

Extremely minor/niche CBT thing here: because Sánchez's CBT hit for 2025-26 is $5.625M, based on the original 4y/$22.5M value of his first contract, but he'll only actually *earn* $6.5M for the two years ($3.25M AAV), his new contract's AAV is slightly lower (1/2).

Details on Sánchez’s redrawn extension: #Phillies picked up their options for 2029 and ‘30, tacked on $30 million guarantees in both ‘31 and ‘32. Here’s how it breaks down: 2027: $6M; 2028: $9M; 2029: $15M; 2030: $16M; 2031: $30M; 2032: $30M; 2033: $44.5 club option ($1M buyout)

You're getting amped for Yankees/Giants on Netflix, I'm getting amped for contract details for Ryan Borucki. We are not the same.

Don't get me wrong, I love Opening Day, but I REALLY love the multi-day lead-up of roster machinations. Catch the fever.

Can confirm the Nationals have traded pitching prospect Sean Paul Liñan to the New York Yankees for infielder Jorbit Vivas. @andrewcgolden first on it.

To elaborate, the implication here is that a player and his representation would never have thought to ask for more money to overwrite a prior contract until they saw Sánchez and Mato did the same? That doesn't track to me

It's only a precedent, by definition, if it's actually used in further analogous negotiations for other pitchers. Other teams can simply... not do what the Phillies did if asked
Jim Bowden⚾️@JimBowdenGM

The way the #Phillies reworked the contract of Cristopher Sánchez sets a horrible precedent for teams. Great for Sanchez, generous of the Phillies, but now a player that has far outperformed his agreed upon contract might ask his club to do the same. SXM 89 top of the hour.

Hitting two homers in a game very early on in spring training did a lot to cover up that he struggled mightily after that, had big in-zone whiff problems, and didn’t hit fastballs well. Doesn’t make him any worse as a prospect but he had to force the issue and he just didn’t

Right as my showing of Project Hail Mary ended, the Cardinals optioned Gordon Graceffo. Points strongly to Chris Royroft making the opening day roster.

Alex Kirilloff was three surgeries in when doctors proposed a fourth. Even though he would have seen an increase on his $1.35m salary, Kirilloff prioritized his health over baseball. #MNTwins nytimes.com/athletic/71293…

Four months ago, Rockies prospect Braylen Wimmer couldn’t speak after surgery to remove a brain tumor. It was a long, difficult winter. Now, he’s back in minor-league camp, chasing his baseball dreams. Wimmer’s story (free to read): nytimes.com/athletic/71288…
