He’ll be 40 by the end of that contract. Insane. This is why the Twins will never be able to (or really want to) go after most of these elite pitchers. It’s so risky.
All the more reason to pay a position player like Correa who plays everyday and has been healthy.
And he’s only 28.
How about $43 million per year for Verlander?
more durable then DeGrom and you're only in for two years!
The Verlander deal is good for both parties.
Ugh. Just read that the new rumor is the Mets getting him. I was hoping the Dodgers would sign him.
Let’s go Mets!
Dodgers!!
He'd have hit about 15 fewer HR's last year playing anywhere other than Yankee stadium. He'd be a fool to leave.
doesn't mean I can't ask for it, Grinch
If they get a true ace, then it's a great deal. Polanco plays 2B. You sign a SS. Sign or use an existing player at 1B.
They won't though. Best-case is someone like Woodruff from the Brewers. You'd have to give up more than Arreaz and you'd only have him for 2 years, which means they'll be flipping him at the deadline or next offseason. Meanwhile you have a ton of $$ to spend. If you want a starter go sign one. Don't trade your best hitter for one.
Of course. But we'll hear how the Twins "tried and tried" and were so close.
analyst on MLB thinks he’ll end up in SF FWIW
I'd honestly be more excited about the potential of Correa if twins had more of a complete team
I would hurl if this happens.
He holds all the cards now - they expected Turner to get 9 for $230M - that’s probably one of the few legit 11 year contracts ever signed. They are all shocked by it. Give the Phil’s credit they aren’t shy.
My Dodgers are striking out right now
Still three good & comparable SS available - you can be bummed if Lux gets the job and not one of those three
I still think Trea is the best of the SS's out there. Game-changing player.
