There were supposedly longer deals on the table according to the MLB report with lower AAV (so maybe something like 5 years/75 mil?). Depends on your definition of better. He has a chance to earn a lot more if he has a good year this year and opts out
I’d be interested to know what the longer term contracts might have looked like. He clearly took this structure to re enter the market next year hopefully after a good rookie season and still only being 28.

Could be as simple as he’s unproven with some question marks (size, command) and not a slam dunk Yamamoto level prospect, and there’s a lot of uncertainty with a potential labor stoppage. I love the deal as an Astros fan
I have no idea if they can sustain the success, I do know that no school should expect to be able to replicate what they have done
Indiana/Cignetti are going to unfairly shift expectations for every major conference program hiring a new coach going forward. What they’ve done only would have been possible in the current portal/NIL era, but it’s still going to be an extreme outlier as far as success
In general I do think teams have wisened up recently on using the posting deadline to their benefit as far as leverage, winding it down to the very end. Not sure why the market for Imai didn’t materialize as expected though

They are not going to unload Walker without eating a good bit of the money or taking back another bad contract

I posted in one of the threads after Bama OU that I wasn’t sure Bama could keep up with Indiana for 4 quarters and got laughed at. Still a lot of football left but I’m not sure how anyone thought the best versions of these two teams were equal
Absolutely. Great to see us involved in the NPB market as well. This guy is going to be fun to watch
Out of nowhere. He’s a pretty exciting prospect, even if it’s only short term
I am interested to see what they do as Ballard/Steichen were on very warm seats heading into the year and Irsay’s daughter seemed to be looking for reasons to clean house, but I think they have a very valid case to keep their jobs despite missing the playoffs again.

The roster isn’t bad but they now don’t have a ton of draft capital and the almost annual QB question for the Colts is there again.
The circumstances around his firing and his general public persona have turned him into maybe the most overrated coach in history
