Pitching has been a priority for teams this year and the market has been reacting accordingly. To put Verlander’s contract in perspective, there...
There is still a long way from 7/175 to 8/240. 10/300 is 25% longer and more expensive than 8/240. That’s not trivial and adds even more on the...
There have only been 4 contracts 10 years or longer that average 30 million or more a year, so I don’t think it would be weird if Correa doesn’t...
Taking the Rangers out of the equation doesn’t help him, but there are still teams out there. That the Rangers decided 7 years of Semien was...
There are certainly problems with just assigning a single dollar value to WAR. I don't think this shows the formula is garbage though. The value...
I wasn’t the person who replied to your original comment. I think the answer is no, it would have been a bad trade, but the framing provided in...
I know he wants Lindor money, but I’m just not sure it’s out there right now.
This all makes sense. I think they still need a everyday shortstop even if it’s not an elite/expensive one. I don’t think Diaz is an everyday...
The only way it makes sense to me is if Meyers is hurt worse than the last updates or if they already have plans/desires to move another...
I'm not sure I get why the Astros would be aggressive for Marte from a needs perspective. They need a SS. I was under the impression that...
It’s certainly high risk, but dumb might be an exaggeration. I think it’s safe to say Thor had no interest in a longer term deal this season. If...
I don’t think any team is going near the current asking price. We do know he is looking for the largest deal that is available though. The...
I am skeptical there is a 10 year, 341 million offer out there for Correa. If that is his sticking point, I don’t think he’s going to sign...
Without knowing what other offers he had, I’d agree it’s an overpay mostly because the player option. I assume the Astros had better info than...
I personally don’t take this kind of “reporting” for much (since the word earlier today was an east coast team), but did see this. [MEDIA] I...
It was unlikely the Astros were going to resign Correa, but I think it probably just got a little less likely.
Seems that way. Surprised at two years 50M it took a player option. That makes it a little higher risk than I thought.
It’s a risk, but it’s a low risk since it’s only a year. No other pitcher has this kind of upside without a long/expensive contract. Have the...
I think Nook posted that Crane has said that he views his primary responsibility to shareholders. I’m not sure if that was specific to Correa or...
I don’t think it’s a accurate characterization to say hardcore fans are less emotional than casual fans. Independent of emotion Correa is the...
