Only thing that comes to my mind is Jesse Spano singing "I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so....scared"

40+ HR's, tied for the AL lead in RBI's with 127 last year. Best available hitter on the market. Right handed bat to balance out our lineup of Lefties and Switch Hitters. True clean up hitter that allows the rest of the lineup to settle better. Signing not a trade, so we keep our prospect roster intact(which is considered on of the better ones in baseball)

Great signing. I was hoping for 3/54. Sounds like it's 3/55, 4/75.

Bye first rounder!

Lose a 1st round pick though...guessing they overslot some guys with their comp pick and round 2 pick now then.

Boobie keeps saying it's a bad draft next year with 2018 being an absolute monster

If that's the case, this is the year to give it up

Though, this might knock us out of the competitive balance picks, not sure on that

Think he's talking about free agency classes, not draft classes...way too early to know about this next draft class.

And comp balance picks all deal with market size and revenue generated...this won't change anything, but it will probably keep us in comp round B moving forward with the new rules.
