Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Thursday. Griffin Warner — Real_G Warner — is back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed with a tight, focused episode of the What I Bet Podcast, courtesy of the Pregame.com Podcast Network, breaking down the full Major League Baseball slate for Thursday, May 28, 2026. With the Vegas Golden Knights having swept the Colorado Avalanche and hockey winding down for the postseason's next round, Thursday belongs to baseball, and Griffin walks through every game on the card with the analytical directness his audience expects. The episode covers six MLB matchups, opening with the getaway day game in Detroit where Grayson Rodriguez takes the hill for the Los Angeles Angels against Jack Flaherty and a Tigers team that, in Griffin's view, is paying a significant salary for one of the worst-performing starters in the American League. Griffin makes the case for the Angels at plus-113 and leans toward the over at plus-105 on a nine-run total before the number potentially tightens. In Chicago, Kendry Rojas starts for Minnesota against Davis Martin and a White Sox team that has been genuinely better than the industry expected this season, with Griffin giving Chicago its proper credit and acknowledging that the minus-138 price reflects real performance. The afternoon game at Fenway Park brings Chris Sale back to Boston for the Atlanta Braves, squaring off against young Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle. Griffin likes what he has seen from Tolle but is unwilling to play the under at seven and a half minus-130 at Fenway, noting that Boston's home park is simply not the right environment for that construction, and leaving the Red Sox money line as the only possible play in the game, if anything. In Baltimore, Patrick Corbin and Chris Bassitt meet in a matchup Griffin describes as two veterans fighting to justify their roster spots, and he takes the Blue Jays at plus-116, pointing to Corbin's underappreciated resurgence and his skepticism of the Orioles as a roster-construction project. The Cubs visit Pittsburgh for the series finale against Paul Skenes, and while Griffin respects the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner as the best pitcher in baseball, the plus-149 number on Chicago is interesting enough to note alongside what he identifies as the stronger analytical play, the under seven and a half. Late in Arlington, Spencer Arrighetti takes a plus-135 number on the road for Houston against Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers, and Griffin lands on the under seven and a half as a split play across the first five innings and the full game to manage variance in a park that consistently suppresses scoring. The episode closes with Griffin's What I Bet Best Bet: Cubs versus Pirates, under seven and a half, with Skenes on the mound and two offenses unlikely to generate the kind of volume needed to push past that total.
