Why? based on what some of the other players have signed for and the fact that this franchise at this time isn't structured in a way that looks to be in a win now mode.

The 3 big name SSs that have signed have signed with the Rangers and Tigers. The Twins are set up just as well to compete as either of those 2 teams. Much better, even with Seager and Semien, than the Rangers I'd argue. I don't see Story coming off a down year, with a draft pick attached to him, and coming from Colorado as going beyond what Baez got. So maybe he gets 22 or 23 a year instead of 20, and I'd still sign him to that and in what I've proposed the Twins could still afford it. Would Story put the Twins over the top in 2022? No. But would having an All Star CFer, SS, and 2B for the next 4 plus years put the Twins in a much better spot, and be better than what the Rockies were doing with Story before? 100%

Maybe he would accept 23 or above. I see the Tigers as being more aggressive than the Twins at this point. I really haven't followed the Rangers much. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see the Twins sign him. I just don't see history on our side.
December 9, 20214 yr I don't really think it's worth considering Correa, but I like the storyline if the Twins did have the first 2 picks of that draft on the same time.
