What team is going to give home a contract after watching the how Seager, Siemens, Limdor, Javiar Bias and Tatis Jr. have not lived up at all to there contracts. Plus, how many teams this off season are in the market for a shortstop? Lastly, Carlos's replacement posted nearly the exact numbers as he did for only 375k this year. Every team has good SS in their pipeline. Houston let him walk and their probably going to win another WS without him. Carlos fired his agent and got lucky with deal he got in MN. Team owners and GMs have all witnessed what happened last year when all that money got spent on top shelf SS. The Rangers canned their GM for crippling their team with the Seager and Simien deals. Seattle did exactly what Houston did and they were much better for it. Any GM that gets the. Nod to meet Carlos demands is putting their career on the line. Bluntly, Carlos was extremely greedy and he missed out on the gold rush of over paying SS. With Turner, Dansby and Bogart's on the market, Carlos and his agent need to be realistic. He demanded to much last year and he won't get a deal like the FA SS of 22 did. GMs like to keep their jobs.. Carlos will get a 7 year deal with team options to buy him out in the final 3 years of the deal and it will be loaded with incentives. If he waits to long again as he did last year with his outrageous demands of being the highest professional athlete in sports he won't have his arrogance to blame or his agent. He can blame his own ego and straight up stupidity to accept reality.

The twins need to trade for Frankie from Oakland and I forget the name of the second other pitcher in Arizona and they can fill up their bullpen with all these starters that have been injured throughout the season and possibly pick up Daniel Baird from Colorado. You could move Kenta, Ober, Smeltzer, Winder, Archer to pair with Duran, Alcala, and McGill. I think that would be a pretty good bullpen. Then you have Ryan, Gray, Frankie and the kid from Arizona as you're starting four starters. The Yankees are rumored to be interested in trading for Juan Soto. If I were the Twins, I would go and pick up Aaron Judge. And then make a serious run to meet the Yankees in the ALCS.
