    I laid out a full argument for what a fair value for Correa would be, and you have decided to nitpick a detail.

    Hi John, The reaggravation happened in September. This reads like editorializing that contradicts reporting by Dan Hayes: Even though the Twins performed an exit exam on Correa in October, those are often limited to areas of concern that arose during a player’s regular-season visits to the trainer’s room. Aside from an incident in May when Correa thought he broke his finger, team sources indicated the shortstop never set foot in the trainer’s room, not even after he writhed in pain on the ground after a hard slide into second base in a Sept. 20 contest at Kansas City. After that game, Correa acknowledged he had a metal plate inserted in his right leg, the result of an injury that occurred when he was in the minor leagues in 2014. “He just hit my plate,” Correa said, referring to the hardware in his leg. “I had surgery and he hit it. Just kind of felt numb. Vibrating. So I was just waiting for it to calm down. It was a little scary, but when I moved I knew I was good.”

    Houston would not offer more than more than 5/160 last year, and the Twins are offering 6/200 now, after his injury has been aggravated. Aye caramba.

    Way too much money and unless there are team option, I think it will hamper their desire to extend Lewis or Lee when the time is right.
  5. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Never mind @mnfireman you are off the hook. Lucky for you. Like I said, in my opinion, this is only a good deal if there are team options. We’ll find out
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Agreed and explained directly above. Any thoughts on the rest of it— what would you put a fair Correa contract at at this point?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    We are considering money plus years in the context of other mega deals. I saw something that said the San Fran offer would have put Correa in one of the Top Ten mega contracts of all time. That type of offer is completely off the table at this point, as would be the 10/285 offer the Twins made. No way, not close, not even in the ballpark anymore.

    So I wonder if we can conclude that Houston did not like that image of Correa’s injury either, and gave it 5 years max before it became too much of a concern. Subtracting the previous season when Correa was with the Twins, that would put the Houston contract at four more years from today. If Correa returns to the Twins, that four years will be my gauge to whether it’s a contract favorable to the Twins. These are going to be tense negotiations, but if I were the Twins, I’d hold firm. The Twins absolutely will need the ability to get out from under this contract at some point, soon. I’m also concerned about the annual value being way too high, but that’s because I’m just not personally sold on Correa being a Top Ten MLB talent. But that’s just me and we can disagree on that.

    I apologize if someone else has brought this up in one of the other 874 (or so) threads and I missed it, and please speak up if so, but I noticed this was a vivabombo thread, so wanted to chime in here :) The common narrative has been that two teams have passed on Correa after seeing the medical image of his lower right leg. But couldn’t we say that three teams have passed on Correa? What about Houston—couldn’t we say that the Astros passed on Houston as well when Correa entered free agency after 2021? So I went back to google to see what Houston had offered Correa. Houston made Correa an offer before the lockout which Correa refused. The offer was 5/160. That’s a huge contract in terms of annual value, but not years. So I wonder if we can conclude that Houston did not like that image either, and gave it 5 years max….

    Probably? :-)

    They completely blew a golden opportunity down in the red zone to add points at the end of the half.
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That clusterf.. end-of-half drive would rival the best (worst) end-of-half drives of the Zimmer years
  13. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Please get six here and get your guys out at halftime
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Welcome, friend!! I agree with you about the pitching.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah, I admit it would be nice to have Buxton, Correa, and Dobnak all locked up long-term. ? It depends on the money, obviously. And Correa seems ticketed for third base soon. I think the Twins have all the leverage.* Boras really blew it and at this point Correa’s value should be discounted deeply. So my reaction does depend on the final terms wherever he lands (I’m still betting The Fellowship signs him) * still bidding against the Mets I presume

    The problem with your survey options is that you are missing one: That the people who are usually wrong about stuff just keep being wrong about the next shiny new thing that comes along without stopping to reflect on how wrong they were in the past on all the other stuff. ?

    I love the concept but the Reddit poster forgot about Aaron Judge’s Triple Crown bid and that Arraez, of the Twins, was the batting average leader! That should have been listed in either the poster’s ‘award leader’ or ‘something interesting’ group, and eliminated the Twins from consideration for this terrible ignominy. (Maybe next year!) By the way, both Arraez and Judge woke up on the morning of Sept. 29 with a .313 batting average.

    If Correa does eventually sign with The Fellowship, I imagine manager Gandalf will let Correa wear the ring every time he reaches base. His stolen base numbers should go through the roof!

    I’d take it further: not only does this front office not spend money on starting pitching, but they don’t really believe in the value of starting pitching in the first place. In 2023 they will be leaning even more heavily on the bullpen—which should actually be much better next year than it was last year. So worry not. But the Twins are staring from a precarious spot and if things go wrong, the starting pitching has the ‘potential’ to be among the worst in the league. Not saying it will or that I want it to. Eovaldi would have been a nice little signing. The time to make hay in free agency was previous offseasons. According to a summary on MLBTR, among the best starting pitching free agents still available at this point are Bundy and Archer. There was a Michael Pineda reunion after 2019 — there may be a Dylan Bundy reunion in our near future. For 2023, the Twins will be hoping that several of their young guys take huge steps forward, and that their older guys stay healthy. I’d be curious to know how often their simulations spit out that outcome.

    This what? ?
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I hope the C4 chatter becomes C-ya-later chatter ?
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Happy for the guy. Now let's see if they over-use him on back to back days...
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I mean, maybe I would trade Arraez, everyone has their price, but I have no confidence that the front office would be able to identify the right trade partner and the right pitcher. None at all. Anyone who voted No to this poll could probably pull off a better trade just by spitballing, than Falvey or Levine. ? ? So let’s enjoy Arraez for who he is.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    This passage is key. Thanks, Nick. I don’t have the time to catch up on the other threads, but I’ve glanced through, and seen the “Giants got cold feet” argument made. I don’t buy it. Boras doesn’t move on that fast and leave that money on the table if there’s nothing there. Your suggestion that it’s the ankle makes a lot of sense.
