MLB insurance is covering his salary while he cannot play.
So Diaz gets paid, Mets payroll goes down by approx 17 mill (not counting the luxury tax), and the Mets have to do without or the GM has to try and trade for a solid closer. It was freak accident, no one’s fault, not the fault of WBC but regardless it does suck

Altuve looks to possibly have suffered a hand injury in a WBC game tonight.
https://www.mlb.com/news/jose-altuve...seball-classic But I guess he could have hurt his hand at spring training too, so no issue. |

I am sure for the money they will also include Wagner, Cobb, and Ruth. And then someone will sell it on ebay as vintage for T206 Wagner Money

Er, yes, you are right, I did correctly describe moral hazard. Not sure I understand the point of quoting the definition.
Quote:
Yes, all else being equal a player who knows their income is assured would be less risk-averse that one who doesn't. But in reality all that stuff I was talking about - risk of loss of future income, desire to have a good/great career, risk of loss of numerous other financial incentives, etc - likely outweigh that. I sincerely doubt Diaz was thinking, or was subliminally influenced by the idea of "Hey, my income is insured, so screw everything I'm going to engage in risky celebrations that I wouldn't if it weren't". Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the principle you are arguing in favor of is that no player who plays for one team under contract should ever participate in any other baseball events like the WBC. This would pretty much eliminate 95% of the guys playing from the tournament and make it completely unworkable. Not sure that I buy that the interests of season ticket holders and corporate sponsors are representative of "fans" in general.

As long as Astros do not play in it, I like the event. I hope in the future, after this Altuve injury, the Astros advise their players to stand down and rest up for the real season.
I'd rather see the USA play Josh Reddick in RF and win 6-3, instead of boat-racing and mercy-ruling everyone 15-2. I like Mexico tonight. I'm surprised they are not the favorites. Mexico played a much tougher bracket to get this far.

It was a good game yesterday. Japan sports a nice team. I was glad when Mexico pulled Urquidy. I hope he's okay.
WBC is somewhat of a Tampa Bay-like product with all the bullpen games. I'll be watching tonight. I hope Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressley are also watching, and not playing.

Not looking great for the US right now with Darvish and Ohtani in the pen.
