Did Britton have TJ surgery or something? 

He underwent one elbow surgery in March of 2021 but then had to get TJ in September of 2021.

Hmm.

Ok, good bounceback candidate on a 1 year deal. Do it, Perry.

Britton would be nice. Left handed with closing experience of necessary. Still think Reyes is such a good candidate for this bullpen…that’s a risk/reward type move.

[tdawg87]

I don't want Wacha unless he somehow chooses to sign here for like $7 million. I'm good with depth but he has to be better than said depth and I'm just not sure he is.

Britton has had back-to-back lost seasons.

On a 1 year flier, sure, but there’s a lot of risk.

I'll bet you that Rengifo/Fletcher combined have a higher WAR and productivity than the 33-year old Miguel Rojas in 2023.

Both of them sure but Rengifo isn't really suited to be a SS as of last year so will he be the starting shortstop 150 games this year? 100 games for him and the rest for Fletcher? Vice versa?

Rojas is a SS was the point and he was better than Angels SS in 2022. For this year, I do agree Angels should be better.

I feel like there's a recovery phase for TJ surgery. 

And fliers are fine. Not much else.

It seems like he kinda rushed back to try and pitch in 2022. He returned from TJ in less than 12 months, which is rare, but then had shoulder issues that ended his season.

If he was a starter, I'd stay far the fuck away. But we need what, 40 good innings? It's worth the risk IMO.

Correa hasn't taken a physical with the Twins since when he was signed last season, so they very well may not have been

Correa said he took three physicals in 2022 that resulted in a clean bill of health -- a full physical with Dr. ElAttrache, a Twins physical before signing his previous contract with the team and an exit physical with Dr. Camp again after the season.

An exit physical only looks at injuries that affected the player during the season, he never took a full one with them until they just re-upped him

So everyone else misplaced their balls?

The first 2 were before he signed his first deal with the Twins, in my post I said he hadn’t taken a physical since the signing

I think it's because @WicketMaiden posts here.

Sports medicine specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache told him his ankle was great, he said, and Twins medical director Dr. Christopher Camp said Correa was in "outstanding shape, even better than last year."

Neal ElAttrache sounds like a made-up name.

Provide whatever context you want, it doesn’t refute my original post

Because it says “exit physical” in the article he posted?
