Stock was already on the 40-man roster and was not arbitration-eligible, which makes this… an odd thing to announce?
Though as @darraghfilm points out, perhaps they’re giving him a split deal and then passing him through waivers, as they did with Christian Cairo this week.

Source confirms this.
Also hear the deal has 500K of incentives. Webb earns $125K for each of 35, 45, 55 and 65 games pitched. Same setup as last year.
Right-handed reliever Jacob Webb and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a new one-year, $2 million contract that includes a $4 million club option for 2028 ($500K buyout), according to a source familiar with the deal.

His entire political identity is acting like an insecure asshole who bullied freshmen in high school
Also marvel at this charisma-devoid fucking loser doing everything he can to be the anthesis of the “Christian values” he shoves down everyone’s throats
Fuck off, @JDVance
.@VP JD Vance implies U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico (D-TX) is gay: "I love you too, sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the Vice President, not James Talarico."

38-year-old RHP has a 4.37 ERA (14.4 K%, 3.5 BB%, 46.1 GB%). Leads minor leagues with 131.2 IP this season.

This decision unfortunately seems to make a lot more sense now 🫤
The ghost of Alex Cobb got a one-year, $15M contract last offseason. Shane Bieber just took a net $12M to pass on a return to the open market.
Unless he is severely injured — and hopefully that’s not what is happening here — I am so profoundly puzzled.

“Just need to play .700 ball and we’re in” is some Dick Monfort-level insanity out of Rubenstein.
Orioles control owner David Rubenstein said he’s hopeful the team gets into the postseason and believes it will, as long as no more injuries occur.
“I’m very optimistic going forward.”
Rubenstein thinks if O’s win 7 out of every 10 games, they’ll get to October.

This was the best GIF I could find for “sad wolf” … it’ll do.

Would not say it’s “impossible” at all for Tigers to add, keep Skubal and dip under the tax line. They’d just need to trade some vets away (Jansen, Finnegan) and pay higher prospect cost for trade partners to pay down salary on acquisitions.
Can the #Tigers keep Tarik Skubal and buy at the trade deadline?
The luxury tax changes everything.

It’s a fine line to walk, and not an easy one. But it’s plenty doable. Wrote extensively about this here a couple days ago:

Excited to add this tool and the expertise of @EthanHullihen to our offerings. Ethan is the best in the industry at payroll tracking/analysis and offers accuracy that is basically unmatched in the public sphere.

Manfred is correct that a large majority of draftees come from college, but a lot of that 70-75% is underslot lower-ceiling guys so teams can attempt to sign as many high school guys as possible without going over spending limits. Teams would probably love to sign more preps!
Nine of the top 40 players in baseball right now, per FanGraphs WAR, were college draftees.
Sixteen were high school, including each of the top three (PCA, Witt, Wood).
(Lots of international FAs — another area the league wants to restrict — making up the difference)
