Problem is the Astros showed that Correa’s perceived luxury value wasn’t as valuable to a winning team as previously thought. They replaced a Rolex with a Series 8 AppleWatch and got better value and reliability.
Tyler Anderson leaves the $19.65 mil QO deal to sign for 3/$39 mil ($13 mil avg) with the Angels? He must REALLY not like being a Dodger
Dude is 33 and was a below average pitcher until this season. Whoever offered him the most money was getting him. The fact that 3/39 was the most he could get suggests everybody thinks he's likely to turn back into a pumpkin next season. He struck while the iron was hot.
I can see that... But if Anderson can't figure that he could make $10 mil a year after next season and bank on himself then I wouldn't want that player to begin with.
I wonder what the return is, doesn’t make much sense considering both are young teams entering their competitive window.
Crane: Justin Verlander Seeking Deal Similar To Max Scherzer’s His former teammate Max Scherzer inked a three-year, $130MM guarantee with the Mets — a deal that also allowed him to opt out after the 2023 season. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022...er-seeking-deal-similar-to-max-scherzers.html I love JV, but if 3yrs/$130m is what he is after, I hope some other club gives it to him.
Anyone know if that would be the highest yearly average ever in Astros history? $43.3 million per season sounds like a lot.
How about we pay him $40 mil in 2023 and have a clause that pays him $45 mil each in 2024 and 2025 ONLY if both Astros management and JV agree. btw, for context Jeff Bagwell made a grand total of $135,865,000 for his entire career
As mentioned, Verlander’s $66m over 2 is the Astros AAV record. scherzer’s deal is the major league AAV record.
Cuz that’s functionally only a guaranteed $40m…. Been mentioned several times in the forum but the mutual option you’re describing very rarely gets exercised by both sides. IMHO it’s kind of pointless.
