So couldn't teams just cock block the previous team (the 50M contract for draft pick) by just making a contract with stupid bonuses. 4 year, 49million deal but said player gets 20million bonus for chewing gum etc.

Pretty much. I think that the old format was okay because the ASG was generally worth the watch for the casual baseball fan. There was definitely a degree of competitiveness. Was it worth randomizing home field advantage for the WS? Probably not.. at all, but the MLB ASG is definitely one of the most enjoyable and traditional of the major sports. The new format just makes sense and should've been the rule the entire time.

Never made sense for the ASG to decide home field advantage for the WS. It's an exhibition game. Might as well have the home run derby decide home field.

Roughly the same age. Cain's a better player (probably) though Fowler has a better health history. I suspect that both Cain and Davis will beat $50 million if they stay healthy. Davis, when healthy, is on par with guys like Chapman and Jansen - those two guys are going to approach $80+ million, IMO. Hell, I think Melancon will approach $50 million and he's both older and nowhere near as good as Davis. This diminishes KC's leverage and their draft compensation a little bit, but not by a ton. My biggest issue is that it's making it a tad easier for the big money teams to crush FA signings again. But on the flipside it's making it harder for them to corner international FAs so there may be some benefit there. How much remains to be seen as when there's a cap across the board and everyone's offering max, it's situations/market that can sell a player and big market teams have an advantage there as they have their high-dollar academies set up and an international presence due to TV. Personally I think this CBA is a small step backwards in terms of parity and big/small market distinction. I don't think it's an enormous one, but a step back nonetheless.

I honestly had no idea what player you were talking about when your spelling is that bad.

Well, that frees up a spot on the 40 man roster now.

Opens up a spot on the 40 man while also adding an intriguing arm entering only his second full season since getting 18 months clear of Tommy John.
