I thought they got rid of comp picks for FA signings? I will admit, I'm not completely up on all the changes

I'm hopeful that someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that free agent compensation (the qualifying offer system) is tied to the international draft which is yet to be worked out. 

So any changes are yet to be changed. 

Shade so dark it's midnight.

As I said ... unsure how this worked ... but ... I'm okay with it

Fangraphs with their take; safe to say they like it for the Twins.

I would be surprised if any free agent came in and immediately was a d***, but it's nice to know if a guy is a good dude. (Yes, I realize athletes' relationship with the media is nuanced.)

We lose our third highest pick.

Correct. Correa rejected a QO. The pick should be in the mid 60's range.

"Correa rejected a qualifying offer from the Astros at season’s end, meaning the Twins, a revenue-sharing recipient, will forfeit their third-highest selection in this year’s draft in order to sign him. That’ll be their pick in Competitive Balance Round B, which should fall in the mid-60s."

Twins announced that the Correa deal is now OFFICIAL. To make room on the 40-man roster, RP Ralph Garza Jr. has been designated for assignment.

They still have the Enlow roster spot to use. I guess it will be for Cueto. I do hope Garza makes it through the DFA process. He seems like he could be fine as a middle innings guy.
