  Obviously you have to play until the final whistle in baseball.

Correa thought he was a Dior product, but he's really a Best Buy open-box-item.

 

Edit:  Looks like I was kinda ninja'd by DJL44

Awesome clarification!

But, after being a 3rd baseman for around 2 weeks, does he identify as a Shortstop again now?

I really like this deal. I didn't like a 10-13 year deal but this is nice. Minnesota nice!

I've had a metal plate in my head for years. Only bothers me when the microwave is turned on. Plate in the heel. No big deal!

Nice story @John Bonnes. Also LOVE  Gleeman and the Geek

Anyone know a good recipe for crow? I'll be eating some shortly and I'm looking for some zesty ideas. 

Winner, winner, crow dinner? Sounds like a new theme for the year.

I can't believe that we have an all-star caliber shortstop locked up for at least 6 years.  This could make our infield incredibly good in a year.  I'm having visions of Lee at 3rd, Correa at S.S., Lewis at 2nd, and Miranda at 1st.   

Agreed (maybe Lewis is at 3B and Lee is 2B).  Arraez and Julien are the 5th and 6th infielders. Four of the six play in the field, one dh’s, and one sits every day.

In the OF, throw in Buxton, Gordon, and three of the Kiriloff, Larnach, Wallner, Martin, and Rodriguez sweepstakes.

Jeffers and Vasquez at catcher.

Those could be our primary thirteen position players in ‘24. The two losers of the OF sweepstakes plus Celestino, Urbina, and Sabato are core AAA backups.

Kepler, Polanco, Farmer, Garlick, and Gallo are gone no later than the trade deadline - hopefully for pitching.

That my friends presents a solid window for several years if we can get the pitching right.

My day 1 call was $10 years $275 Million.  Almost spot on.

[VivaBomboRivera!]

Tail-end Charlie here to take a bow for having recently stated that a seven-year or under contract with higher annual value was the right play.  Now GMs from all around the leagues are banging on my door.   ?

I'm excited that Correa is back,  I usually skew a little negative or cynical but think that this signing is great.  Regarding Correa's preferring the Giants and Mets...why wouldn't he play for the team with the best offer?  I know I would if in that situation and can't fault the guy for wanting the best deal he can get.  I don't think it has anything to do with not wanting to play for the Twins.

Holy mackerel a shocker! Glad he is back, should be a fun year!

No ...but he can play shortstop.  How do you feel about this deal? Honestly asking. I know you were not interested in him for anything longer than one year contract.

I am in an airport in Houston so I don't know if I have already responded or not. It'll look like my response disappeared. I think it's great that would cut down the years. The money is something I can't discuss because it doesn't make sense to me on any level in baseball but this retains the status quo it does not put us over the top. I'm glad to have him and he is an excellent player but our new catcher may be more of a difference Maker as long as we have last year's team in place. The key now is the development of our young players and the health of our pitchers.

Paul Simon sang a song about that…

Is there actually such a song about the ways of preparing a bird for mastication?

 

Or was i not the only one trying to graft crow recipes onto 50 ways to leave your lover?

 

Stuff in beak leeks.

Give the drumsticks licks.

Glazing the feet sweet.

Just don't retch up catsup.

 

But i digress... Must remember, not a game thread.

 

Anyway., i think those of you considering a crow dinner are taking the wrong tack.

 

You should start complaining how we're never going to keep both Byron or Correa healthy, or win any world series.

 

If it worked once, it is worth trying again.
