Young Players, Big Deals: Jackson Merrill & Kristian Campbell sign huge contracts! The new MLB way?

Today’s word of the day is ‘certainty’ as in tariffs as in money as in salary as in players as in Jackson Merrill as in Kristian Campbell as in many others. The Padres gave Jackson Merrill a massive deal. They didn’t need to! They’ve been trying to shed payroll and now they are adding and now they have a core locked through 2033! Can they sustain that payroll? The Red Sox gave Kristian Campbell a longterm deal. 5 games into his big league career. They did the same thing last year! The Arizona Diamondbacks did something that I’m not sure why they did it. Ketel Marte got another extension. He was under contract for 2 more years and the team extended him! Review: The Princess Bride. Shohei Ohtani bobblehead night ended with a bang! Walk off homer! Let’s talk bobbles! Timberwolves sale is now complete. Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore are now the owners. Just waiting on a vote. $1.5 billion and lawyers later, we have a deal. NPPOD.
