Lmao, Eric Hosmer is a ****ing bitch. The front office did him dirty? By giving him way more money than he ever deserved and him sucking shit every year he's been there? What a spoiled ****.

In his defense on this trade situation, the team agreed to the no-trade. It's not really screwing them over to expect it to be honored. If anything, they're kind of screwing him by putting him in this position. Usually, these things (waiving the no-trade) are worked out ahead of time and not after the trade is announced/leaked. |

When players try to renegotiate before their contract is up, ownership typically starts at a position of "go fly a kite, this is the contract you signed".

No one is getting more screwed between Hosmer and the Padres than the Padres. Hosmer has been paid a little over $100M so far? Hosmer has given them back 0.3 total fWAR for that money, thats like $2M worth of performance over 4.5 years.

I wish we could put a trade deadline package together to trade some of the know-it-all criticize everything assholes in this thread to another team's fandom in exchange for a couple fans that know something about baseball and have some humility and respect for people who have accomplished something.

I guess I don't get all the shitting on Hosmer in this thread. He was great for us, even if he didn't live up to his draft status (offensively). He was a big part of bringing us two pennants and a Trophy.
Now, I am glad we didn't pay the ridiculous contract that SD gave him. That would have been a HUGE mistake and would have tarnished his legacy here. That said, San Diego signed him to the contract they did, agreed to a no trade clause for 10 teams, did a deal with him in it without telling him ahead of time and then sending him to a team that was on his no trade list. If I was Hosmer I would tell them to get bent too. They tried to do him dirty and he told them to '**** off'. Good for him. He'll end up getting sent somewhere else, somewhere better than ****ing DC. |
