Full no trade clause as well.

11 years??? That's going to throw a monkey wrench into things.

My thoughts exactly.

Honestly, I don't see why MLB teams should care. 10 or 11 years, doesn't matter.

[ashbury]

Trea Turner? He's that young guy, so eleven years won't... wait, what, he turns 30 next June? Geez, I feel old.

I'd 100% rather go 11 for a lower annual number, then just release him the last year and have dead money.....

Twins could have drafted him and not Gordon....sigh.

[Mike Sixel]

Seems reasonable, actually. Does that take them out of Rodon?

I'd tell you to chill out because nobody likes the hindsight game, but I do remember you banging the drum for Turner so you get a pass!

Man, that draft seems like only yesterday, and now Turner is 30-years-old.

You think Correa is loving that contract....

[Brandon]

11 years and 300 million.  This bodes well for us and Correa I think.  10 and 31 per season give or take 2 million per year.

Behold! The first look of Trea Turner in a Phillies jersey.

CC is licking his chops. The money train will be pulling into the station. Unfortunately, I don't think it's gonna be in Mpls.

Maybe, maybe not. The AAV is much less than what folks were predicting for Turner.

That's cool that Stott had fun with that, considering Stott's job is the one that Turner's signing most threatens.

Agree - in 10 years $27MM will be worth about $12-15 and revenues and budgets will be way hire. Write it off if need be.

I also would rather have a player for 11 years instead of 10 given the same money. This is basically a "Buy 9 years, get 2 free" contract.

11 years? Wow. That’s a lot for a SS who will turn 30 next year.

On another note, if this at all influences the market for Correa, our chances of resigning him are ****ed.

That was my original thought, but Turner's AAV is over 6M per year less than MLBTR predicted. Depending on what both the Twins and Correa want, it actually might help.

[umterp23]

will be nice to see if the particulars are shared.  Higher dollars to start with scale going lower over time.  Might not be a bad thing for Twins with Correa, really depends on high we want annual to start with, thus limiting how we spend any other dollars for others.
