It makes sense. He hasn’t played for the dodgers yet. Yes it’s the biggest contract in sports and it’s bound to be a championship level signing but until that happens, you are absolutely correct, Shohei doesn’t count

I wonder how much more Seager needs to do to surpass Beltre for the Rangers. Hard to say. He did get them their first championship, won ws mvp, finished 2nd in mvp, but it has only been 2 years.

I’m a little confused. You said Ohtani didn’t count because he was an international free agent, but wasn’t Chapman and Ichiro international free agents too?
@rhyde
9 ай бұрын
Chapman petitioned for free agency and got it, while Ichiro’s team in Japan allowed him to negotiate with MLB teams. Ohtani wasn’t able to sign a MLB contract, and instead signed a minor league deal with a signing bonus. Ichiro got a MLB contract after the Mariners won the bidding to talk with him, and then negotiated a 3 year/$13M contract.

I like the pick of Ivan Rodriguez for the Tigers. His numbers were solid for them but signing with one of the worst teams ever was an important symbolic move for the Tigers that showed real commitment to getting better. Getting Magglio Ordonez the next year probably had greater impact on the team from a winning standpoint but that may have never happened without Pudge helping turn the team around a lot in 2004.

Eh, I dont really count Piazza cuz he was already a Met via trade, they just extended him on a new deal...by that logic you can take any all time great who stayed with 1 team his whole career as the best FA signing. Id say Beltran was the better pure FA signing. Also I dunno how Ichiro counts if Ohtani doesnt cuz they were both international signings...

I was wondering who you were going to choose for the Rangers, because initially I thought Beltre also. But then I remembered the almost immediate impact that Corey Seager had this past season, especially in the World Series. But Beltre spent much longer in Texas as of now, so this list would probably have to be reevaluated in a decade or so.

You can believe what ya want but if you think Bonds is the greatest player to ever play the game you must be high. He’s not even the greatest Giant ever. Mays is twice the player Bonds with his noodle arm ever was.
