13 years. Good lord... Ohtani about to get 15/600 at this rate...'I'm being sarcastic...I think..

I think the 13 years is just designed to lower the luxury tax AAV.  Whether it's 10/350 or 13/350 is largely irrelevant for Correa, as it's not like he'd get another contract after this current one.

[Erstad Grit]

Borass is so good at what he does.

Pushes a rumor Mets are in on Correa and BAM Giants sign him

I do not buy this one.  This seems more like Boras trying to stir the pot.  

Be a Giant mistake

[bloodbrother]

AAV is fine but as often the case, the sheer amount of years is insane. Wonder if Correa's camp leaked the Mets interest to try and squeeze a bit more out of the Giants in the end.

We really gonna whiff on all 4 shortstops this offseason.

You cannot whiff if you do not come to bat

The vibes are extremely fucked.  90% chance that the angels will be starting Elvis Andrus at shortstop on opening day.

Cmon arte! Couldn’t go 26 years?

Maybe not many teams still looking for a SS

Who said cheaters don't prosper

On a positive note… the NL is going to devour itself. Angels have a legit chance to make a run at it with the right moves.

[Angels 1961]

Halos be lucky to get Andrus now

[bloodbrother]

Don't like whats left in FA so hopefully there's a trade in the works to address SS

What are they gonna trade mang ? The failing news media has slandered our farm system for years.

And front offices don’t listen to media.

2 SS

Age 25 season 1.1 bWAR 2.0 fWAR

Age 25 season 2.4 bWAR 1.6fWAR

One of those players is much cheaper and one of those players is currently 25. Without looking it up, guess who's who.

[ScottT]

These deals are getting sketchy when it comes to AAV and the luxury tax

i really don't think they were ever swinging at any of them really. it just didn't make sense, especially when combined with the number of realistic suitors for those 4. i said before i think there's a trade coming that's going to sting a bit, but maybe that sting is too much for perry's tolerances and he goes elsewhere and rides with what he's got in house. it's not too crazy. the worst outcome is if they do what they did a couple years ago and get off to a really exciting start only to not really do anything else to really make the big jump in improvement.

SS?  he can play there but that's not what I'd call him.

Valid but he hasn't played a full season there or even close to it so too soon to really tell.

I really doubt we'll ever find out.

The big part of the equation that’s unknown is if they can build and develop talent like the Dodgers have done. Otherwise, they’re taking a very similar approach.

Yes, but this is everything about the Dodgers approach. It's the key to their success. There really can't be a comparison between the Dodgers and the Mets because the Mets haven't done this.

Let's see where they're at in 3 years.
