That photo of McDonnell.... I was in Rosenblatt that day when when they crushed us. Wind was blowing a hurricane to left. Their 3rd baseman (Dominguez?) hit one out of the stadium. OUT OF THE DAMN STADIUM.

It was the tail end of the nuclear bat era.

$50K? Not exactly a "We're desperate to keep you" raise.

That was the wbb coach.

This 4 yr max on coaches contracts can’t be helping our cause with established coaches. McDonnell’s contract is twice as long as that.

We can combat that (or at least neutralize the argument) by offering an extension to the 4 yrs after every season. Do a good job, we'll give you a new 4 year term. They did that for Merlinz for a while I think, until he became a street corner hooker stopping every car that passed by looking for his next gig.

Crazy how we talk about money differently in sports compared to our lives. Don't know what y'all's financial situation is but if my company offered me $50k raise, I'd go nuts. But when it comes to sports we're all like "what a bunch of penny pinchers"

Just a funny observation

Probably only a 19.83% raise for these playas.
