Pete Alonso is crazy if he thinks he's gonna get more than Freddie Freeman and Matt Olson.
Boras has blackmail pictures of somebody if he gets Pete Freeman/Olson money.

All he needed was an average Pete season, and he would have gotten Freeman money, but he shyt the bed horribly.
43 home runs, .249/.339/.514 is his average. Instead he gave us 34 with .240/.329/.459. The man cost himself at least 50 million.
Ok D backs and not bad Mr Burnes.
Are the Orioles never gonna spend money wtf lol
Horrible franchise.
D'Backs continue to spend. Gotta respect it.
Can't believe Burnes got an opt out after two years. That's crazy.

4/140 left at age 32
Snell just got 6/180 at 32 this year
Should work out for both sides if he pitches well
If he doesn't then this is Bumgardner 2.0
The Giants were turned down by Aaron Judge and Corbin Burnes despite offering more money.
Judge didn't take it because of his strong ties with the Yankees.
Burnes apparently didn't take it because of taxes and Arizona being his home.
Still, it looks bad that a big market like San Francisco can't attract bigger stars. Maybe it's a tax issue. Maybe they're not deep enough as a roster. Maybe it's a problem with the city's culture or cost of living. Whatever it is, the Giants seem to have a problem.

I get off my flight from Vegas a little while ago and this is one of the first alerts on my phone.
I mean, I'm not surprised - he's a West coaster, Boras client, probably wants to get out of a tough (and likely tougher next year) division. Still, it was great having a legit ace, even if it was just for a season.
Elias and co. are gonna have to start getting creative. Options drying up, and a broken-down Justin Verlander won't be it.
We don't know what the actual offers were though. Did they offer Burnes "more" in the sense that 8/$220 million is technically more? Wasn't Judge's contract with NY just matching SF's offer? They didn't put 9/$450 million on the table for him.

If the Mets were seriously in on Hernandez, they might as well sign santander. Slide him into DH and move Marte. He can either DH or learn to play 1st.
