Generally, the teams offering outrageous, market-shattering contracts are... not good. Exhibit A: the Texas Rangers. Correa has built his brand on...
Why would the Dodgers pay Correa $300MM - or whatever - when they have Turner and Lux? They certainly can, obviously. But it doesn't feel like a...
So.... 75% of MLB, LOL? To me, the viable candidates are: Astros, Yankees, Phillies, Angels, Mariners. They can offer success + money. The dark...
Right. Remember: the Astros made that offer before he hit an unpredictable market. And they flat-out nailed the AAV. They had no idea anyone would...
I disagree. I think $32MM AAV - which is right in line with Seager's deal, btw - minus the years, obviously - isn't laughable. It sets the...
I would guess there's zero impact. Seager chased a paycheck. He signed with a team that hasn't won 80+ games in five years, has no pitching, and...
I don't doubt that's Correa's outlook. But what team is going to offer that *and* provide him the opportunity to win? That pool is shrinking. I...
10/$325 is laughable. That is a ridiculous overpay. Baez just signed for 6/$140. In that context, 5/$160 is only laughable from a duration...
They have a highly-touted SS prospect (Noelvi Marte). I'm not suggesting you opt prospect over Correa but they might direct that money elsewhere.
We've speculated all along a team like the Rangers would have to pay a premium to lure a big FA. But I continue to look at the market and wonder...
Are we sure the Dodgers - with Turner and Lux - are in the SS market? I certainly don't think they're in the mega-deal SS market.
Sure.... but he's not going to take it. There is no scenario in which Correa will get significantly more than Seager. One will set the bar for the...
If, before the Series started, I offered you the opportunity to replace Chirinos and Maldonado with Realmuto, they'd have to invent a new time...
My one and only argument here is that the initial tweet is disingenuous.: you were not trading Kyle Tucker for '20-'21 JT Realmuto at @ $30MM. You...
Maldonado had 7 ABs in the '19 World Series, and - offensively: JT Realmuto >>>>>>>>>>>> Martin Maldonado (as well as Robinson Chirinos)
They lost game 1 by a run; they scored 2 runs in games 6 & 7; Chirinos twice batted with 2 runners on in game 7 and was 0-2. There are a million...
Right; it's completely disingenuous. You weren't trading for '20/'21 Realmuto; it would've been '19/'20 Realmuto, who made ~$16MM those two years...
I've wondered how available Cedric Mullins might be - he is, for Baltimore, an ideal sell-high candidate: a (now) 27-year old rookie who put...
Not mentioned but I think another significant factor: Michael Brantley. He's gone after next year and we now have ~1.5 years of him being...
