Yup. Reports are teams who are trying to get free agents are trying to get it done before December 1st since there cannot be negotiations or transactions during a lockout.

A United States bookmaker is facing one of its biggest losses ever on a bet that was placed in March and will be decided Thursday night.
On March 19, a bettor in Nevada placed a $30,000 on Shohei Ohtaani to win the American League MVP award at 30-1 odds with a William Hill sportsbook. Ohtani is a finalist, along with Toronto Blue Jays stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Marcus Semien.
If Ohtani wins, the bettor will net $900,000, and William Hill will have suffered an overall seven-figure loss on an awards market that typically doesn't attract a ton of money.
"It's going to be the biggest loss on that type of market ever," Adam Pullen, assistant director of trading for William Hill (now Caesars Sportsbook), told ESPN. "It's going to stick an out as a line item, when you see award betting and a big minus."

While kind of interesting, part of the reason I no longer watch nearly as much sports as I used to is because of the focus on all things gambling around them. I get it's all about the $$$$, but it's still gross.
Now let me tell you about the onion I wore on my belt, as was the style at the time...

I'm with you. Fanduel and Draftkings ruined a lot of sports coverage for me.
Make that two onions.

Not sportsbooks. That comes right out of their coffers. Those furniture store promos, Jordan's Furniture "If a Red Sox pitcher throws a no-hitter" between a certain amount of time or Mattress Mack(the loveable loser that keeps betting the 'Stros will win the series(lost $4 mil this year)and his Gallery Furniture chain in Houston are insured.

Generally not the bookmakers themselves, though they will sometimes split a large ticket with another book to spread the risk if they can find a taker.

Buxton gets 7 years / $100 m from Twins.
Fair number of on field incentives.

Glad Buxton will be back, but they should have done something like $150k/game played.
Scherzer to the Mets.
Maybe.
The internet does not disappoint.
Max Scherzer’s deal with the Mets is done, per source. Three years, $130 million, an opt out after the second season.
