Exactly. If a fan is talking about the value of Pena relative to Correa or how not signing Correa will keep the team competitive, then they...
Does signing Correa make it more likely the Astros will win next year? Is financial flexibility or surplus value winning? How often have you...
Winning does keeps people in the seats, eyes on TVs, and merchandise being sold. Popular players do that as well and the two are many times...
Whether the team is winning obviously impacts the bottom line, but so does having recognizable players to sell to your fan base. Look at Bagwell...
I don’t know about one year, but Machado’s contract has an opt out after 4. For Correa, I think a 6 / 210 with an opt out after 3 or 4 years...
I’d be surprised, but that’s just a guess. I would think if he has a good year he could get significantly better than that particularly without...
Correa's "power" in negotiations is based on what other teams will pay him. If he has offers for 10 / 300M+ negotiations will look a lot...
I was trying to say I think he was going to wind up taking the qualifying offer. I would be surprised if he gets a one year deal for much more...
Is he really going to get 19M AAV for multiple years based on 25 pitches given the draft pick compensation? If he really thinks he is in good...
I’m not a expert but throwing 25 pitches in a controlled environment is very different than a game situation. Throwing a fastball hard is also...
They are almost certainly better than saying Correa is better than Lindor, so he should get 10/350. Anyway, if the 6 / 210 talks are real,...
That would be the highest AAV in baseball by about 9 million and long contract as well. If you consider Trout’s contract was an extension that...
Hypothetical: Verlander accepts the QO. The Astros use basically all the rest of their money towards Correa and he accepts. So Gravemen, Yimi...
Nobody knows, but I'd agree it's unlikely for him to get a 10 year contract for 32M+ AAV. I'd start with how many contracts like that have ever...
If Pena is not the backup plan, then I’m sure they’ll start negotiations. They probably won’t make a formal offer if they think they are still in...
In one of his interviews he said McCullers was the last guy that was “his” and everyone else left who came up through the organization basically...
If the 6 year 210 million offer is real, at least that’s a serious offer. I doubt Correa would accept at this point, but I think it keeps the...
6 at 210 is a much more interesting offer particularly if the last few years would be a player option.
I don’t think he’s getting a 10 year offer prior to the CBA situation being settled, but 7-8 isn’t out of the question. 7 years at 220 might have...
Can you point to some recent analysis showing Dusty does not use analytics or has bad bullpen usage? I'd love to read as I like these topics and...
