Hey Archi, has Hader ever had a game giving up six runs and 3 home runs?

Not that I recall. He's been a mess since his wife gave birth.

Yeah, I went into the brewers reddit and half the posts we're Hader needs to sit until after the ASG.

I wonder how much of that is the deferred payments that the nationals love so goddamn much and has been a large factor in some of their big name players leaving.

Gonna hate seeing that man in a Dodgers uniform

Fuck, went to bed as I was expecting the Giants to lose as offense was shit, and they wind up making Hader their little bitch.

So last walk off homer in Oracle was in 2020 by the San Diego Padres. God that COVID season was a fever dream.....

Oh that's wild, he must just really hate playing for the Nationals

So, i saw in that tweet thread, hes annual salary would be like 29.5mil or something, which 14 more players make more than that already, so that may be part of the issue...idk

15 years is a long time lol.

15 years is a long time lol.

yea it is, thats insane lol

[Krandor]

Someone (ie the Dodgers, we know how this goes) will offer him a higher AAV probably, but that's such an absolutely insane amount of money to pass up on. I can't fathom looking at 29.5 mil per year for the next 15 years and going "nope"

[Mertron]

it’s a lot of money but he can “bet on himself”, get a higher AAV in a 6-7 year deal, then hit the market again for even more money

tale as old as time

[Mertron]

anyway surely gallo and chapman straight up should do the trick, right?

[Mertron]

ill throw in a daisy-fresh domingo german, arm has zero mileage this year!

[Xno Kappa]

Just imagine how many chicken buckets will be sold at Yankee Stadium with Soto there Hal!

Just remember he's not a free agent til 2025 (he's only 23!), so a new contract is buying out a few arb years, going to be on a discount for sure.
