    After the world series in 2017 he was jamming unabashedly to “I want it that way” while they were playing cards and he was praising its brilliance.

    Dude got power, huh ??

    His swing might look like Correa, but physically looks like Pena. The OP's highlight looked liked closer to Pena. Hope his bat is Carlos, of course.

    Let’s face it, most jocks are pretty basic in their musical taste. I remember it being rather frustrating when I played ball in HS. ****ing meat heads. GnR, Aerosmith, AC/DC etc. some bad rap too.

    He's 6'3" like Correa. He's a big boy.

    seems more like speculation than insider reporting

    If there was a HOF for speculative "throw a bunch of **** at the wall and see what sticks" reporting, Jim Bowden would go in on the first ballot.

    Not saying he's wrong here, but you gotta consider the source.

    We shall see, but to me, it makes total sense to start the year with him on the team. If he does well, that extra draft pick would be way more valuable than starting him in the minors to take a longer look at whoever fills the roster in his spot

    There is such a slim chance of him winning Roy and getting us a draft pick this year.

    Agreed. Keep him in the minors so in 7 years he can be mad at us and go to the Blue Jays for a slightly better deal.

    That was 12 years ago, can we get over it already?

    Has it happened since?

    This has nothing to do with service time but actually being ready.

    I think this a good time to extend Diaz for a couple years.
