THE END OF AN ERA?
Totally Tigers

I give props today to a loyal reader, Motorcitytiger, who planted the seed that I should write about the Cody Bellinger deal. His suggestion helped to crystalize a blog I had been developing about free agency, Scott Boras and a certain former Tiger.
To start, it’s been noticed everywhere that the top 4 remaining free agents – Bellinger, Matt Chapman, Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell – are all Scott Boras clients. This agent has been known to work out deals at the last moment but we are now into the 2nd week of spring training and it’s already a little late for the remaining 3 to catch up with players already well into their seasonal prep.
Now we have Bellinger who just returned to the Cubs. His new contract is for $80 mill dollars for 3 years ($30/$30/$20) with an opt out after each year. Consider this to be the equivalent of 3 1-year pillow contracts.

This contract is so very surprising given that Cody slashed .307/.356/.525 (.881 OPS) with 26 home runs and earned Comeback Player of the Year in 2023.
The top 4 analysts who predict such contracts estimated that Bellinger would receive a contract of 6-12 years ranging from $150 mill to $264 mill. He ended up getting half of the lowest contract estimate in both years and salary.
So why the huge disconnect? All the experts are still trying to figure it out.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

In the very first spring training game of the year, the Tigers got thrashed by the NY Yankees with a score resembling that of a football game. In the 2nd game, they lost a significant lead. It all started some angst among fans.
But how important really are winning spring training games? Is that the top priority?
Is the primary purpose different for teams depending upon where they are in roster building and in their competitive level?
Or is the primary purpose for a team to really test their newest players and try a lot of new strategies and experiments when the games don’t officially count?
What should the primary purpose of spring training for the Tigers be?

What should the primary purpose of spring training be for the Tigers?

1. Winning as many games as possible.

2. Allowing new players to learn/testing prospects.
