I'm guessing Freeman won World Series MVP? Didn't stay up for the ceremonies.

was the unanmoius MVP. His 12 RBIs tied the record set by Bobby Richardson with the Yankees in 1960.

And that 1960 series went seven games and, despite losing the series, the Yankees scored the most runs ever in a series with 55. So for Freeman to tie Richardson in only five games is incredible. 

Another fun fact about that series.  Pittsburgh hit a Homerun in the first game and last game with ZERO in between.

Oh it's the most fascinating World Series ever. The Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27 but lost the series. Their wins were blowouts (16-3, 10-0, 12-0), and their loses were all by three runs or less, including losing game 7 10-9 on the Mazeroski walk-off. And Richardson, despite being on the losing team, was voted MVP. I wonder if there's a support group for him, Chuck Howley (Super Bowl 5 MVP), and Jerry West (1969 Finals MVP).

I'm trying to think of the series where the Yankees clobbered the other team for 3 games and the other team barely had any runs but won.  I didnt think it was this one...

I said “in language I can understand.”

basically it means a MLB team pays a fee for the rights to negotiate with a given player, kind of PSL in stadiums where people pay for the right to own a seat.

I’ve read and re-read the process. specifically, this is what I don’t understand. what is “bonus pool money” and how does it help you? The difference between $2.5M and $1M is MLB peanuts. fuck it, just let the d**gers have him….they get everyone else.

basically there's a limit on how much a team can allot for international free agents.

I guess the confusion might be LA just signed two huge stars from Japan  for over a billion dollars, so how would they have any money left?

He won't get crazy money.  He will get a fair price first. Like they did w Ohtani.

Pretty good article detailing all the CBA stuff and how it applies specifically to Sasaki:

https://www.mlb.com/news/roki-sasaki-faq

Unless he just wants to get the deal done ASAP, he should ask his team to wait and post him for the 2025 signing cycle. He would be able to get more money and be able to negotiate with all teams, should he want to do so.
