    All true and I’ve wondered why he didn’t go for shorter, higher AAV contracts. Two reasons come to mind: 1) Boras wanted to get the full commission, so incentivized to get him out of the Twins 3/105 deal as soon as possible 2) Maybe the plate in his ankle is legitimately going to disintegrate after a few years, so he wants to get as long a contract with as high a value as possible now.
  2. AlwaysinModeration
    I’ll bet the plate in Correa’s ankle on it.
  3. AlwaysinModeration
    They’ve agreed! The deal is for 20 years. They just haven’t agreed on how much they are giving him per year. The Twins say 10.5 per year, whereas Correa wants 30.5 per year. But stay tuned, this should be wrapped up shortly.

    Which happens first? Correa contract House has speaker

    And just read on the other rumor thread the post by Brock saying he’s hearing secondhand that “it’s gonna happen.” I’m pushing my odds up to 62.5%
  6. AlwaysinModeration
    I said 25% when I posted this last night. I’d say at least 50-50 now?

    And they have “momentum” per Jim Bowden. For what it’s worth.

    More information about "A new team is talking with Boras about Correa…"
    Could the Minnesota Twins wind up with Correa after all? The Giants deal fell through, then the Mets deal was agreed to weeks ago, but hasn’t been finalized due to medical concerns. And now today is a Jon Heyman report that “Boras engaged at least one other team regarding Correa this afternoon.” The Twins are mentioned in the report as having tried to reengage, and as an obvious landing spot, having employed Correa (healthy) last year, and having a vacancy and payroll space to accommodate him. The likelihood of Correa coming back to the Twins has to have crept up. Maybe 25%?

    I had the same thought, but remember, he just switched to Boras as his agent. So Boras would only get half of a long-term contract commission. So Boras was incentivized to get Correa to sign a one-year deal.
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    A few different ways of thinking about this: 1. Correa passed on the latter two years of the Twins’ 3/105. So he passed on 2/70 and instead got 13/350. If he had take the Twins options, would he have gotten 11/280 in two years? That’s $25mm/year. 2. The Twins paid him $35mm last year, and then offered him 10/285 on top of that. That’s 11/320 they offered him in total. In other words, the Twins offered a player 11 years of $29mm/year. 3. He’s making $27mm/year from the Giants. That’s an $8mm/payout from what the Twins would have been paying him this year and next year if he had taken the option years. 4. I’m dying to know what the other offers the Twins made him are. Reports of 6 years at $30mm+ per year. Opt outs? It seems like he could have done a lot better if he’d gone year-to-year or gotten a contract with options. Anyway, it was fun to have him on the Twins this year, but not overly upset that he signed with the Giants. (Glad it’s not the Yankees.)

    I’ll play - although Correa will have been a free agent since October of 2035. Luiz Arraez gets his 3,000th hit on the final day of the regular season and Twins celebrate their 4th title in a decade. Ron DeSantis nears the end of his eighth year in office, and while there is speculation that he will try to find a way to stay in office for a third term, the presidential race between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ben Sasse heads towards the finish line.

    I’d hate to see what “not mad” looks like!

    Jax working on velo at Driveline = ding ding ding

    1) Highly doubt the Twins would contemplate attempting to trade for Reynolds, and 2) I really hope they don’t, either.
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    If they offer him a 20 year deal, the last ten could literally be dead money.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    So, if LaVelle says it is three offers, one 10, one 8 and one 6 that is over 30/year, the offers could be: 6x31 = 186 (opt out after 3) 8x28 = 214 (opt out after 3, 5) 10x25 = 250 (opt out after 3, 5)
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    One great day at the plate away from a triple crown? I am really surprised he’s not playing. Plus he could hit 63 or 64, cementing his record. Once the post season starts there are days off every game or so…
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Judge isn’t in the starting lineup for the Yankees, so it kind of looks like Arraez has it sewn up.
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Misery
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    Push?
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    .500
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    One could note that you didn’t necessarily disagree with me.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    I’m going on record - it’s gonna be a sweep.
