    Feel kind of bad for Minny fans. Team is just slashing payroll. Problem is you need to go full Astros tear down otherwise it’s the mediocrity treadmill.

    The vibes are just great on this one...

    Correa back for multiple years... with Altuve... you just love to see it... even if he isn't what he was... he's still a solid veteran MLB player and is like manna from heaven compared to the AAA squad we have been rolling out.

    Not without some risk, but a ton of upside given Correas talent and back end team option seasons.

    Really excited to have him back home where he belongs.

    He is only 30, what do you want to bet he comes in and starts lighting it up because he knows he belongs here, our clubhouse is electric.

    I wonder what this means for Parades next season. I would rather have Parade..with his bargain contract, youth, and upside than Correa if I had to choose. I hate to throw cold water on this and I know everyone is hyped but sometimes I think Jim is too nostalgic for his own good. Reacquiring JV and Kendall Graveman did not work out.

    With no trade clause, the Twins were stuck with him otherwise.

    Paredes can play 2nd... you essentially have gold glove caliber defense that no other team can offer Framber.
