The Return of Carlos Correa

Absolutely. That was purely chasing the money with no regard at all to his future career.

 

He already had a documentary done that was narrated by Dennis Quaid many years back if you haven't already seen it

 

I think if we're giving credit to owners and GMs (especially one who got extremely lucky after drafting Appel and Aiken back to back with the 1.1 pick of the draft), we should definitely give credit to the players who produced on the field, especially Jose Altuve. Altuve brought the team back to relevance and absolutely carried that first championship team on his back.

All the tanking and draft capital and free agent spending wouldn't have resulted in anything without the little superstar who signed as an amateur free agent in 2007, back when Drayton McLane was team owner and Tim Pupura was GM.

 

Thanks, I will certainly look that up

 

Haven't seen it in forever but I remember it definitely being worth the watch.

 

ARod's first contract with Texas was completely worth it despite Texas having to eat some salary.to trade him. It was signed when he was 25 years old and he was an all-star level player until 35. Granted he opted out and signed a second contract, where the last few years were under water, but it netted the yankees a couple of championships, so I don't think the Yankees are complaining about it.

 

Most of these long contracts are still ongoing but the players have been productive. Machado is in year 7 of his 10 year deal and still great. Feel like Ohtani is going to turn out to be a steal even at his big number, based on the deferred comp. Judge. Harper. Seager helped the Rangers win a title. Time will tell but the success rate is higher than some think.

My other favorite part from the presser besides "Getting to play with Altuve again."
"I helped Minnesota win in the playoffs something that hadn't been done in 30 years. But they never really tried to add players after that."

Here's a fun Twins blog post to catch some of what the opposition is feeling right now:
