Judge staying with Yankees 9yr/$360

Prices are very high this year. With the Giants and Cubs supposedly all in on CC, it will be hard for the Twins to compete. Still hopeful though. Shouldn’t be long before we know. 

Giants have money to spend and want a superstar as well as the Cubs.  I am not sure Correa is the Cubs #1 priority though.  Right now I would say Correa most likely ends up with the Giants at this point.  

Well I'm glad that is finally over. No more excuses for why CC hasn't signed with somebody.

Judge bet on himself and won.  He turned down like 218 mil, had one of best seasons of anyone in recent years, now get 360 over 9.  He is now one of top paid guys per year.  I think the price for CC just went up.  Do not think it will quite be at that average value, mainly because Judge is a power hitter, and they tend to age better than non power hitters.  CC has power, but not a power hitter.  I still do not expect CC to sign by end of meetings, Boras clients at least the top ones, normally hold out until closer later in off-season. 

Let’s face it, it was always going to be hard for the Giants to compete with that short right field fence in NY.  I can imagine that Judge told the Giants he’d sign with them, but they’d have to move the right field wall in - lol. 

No surprise. And I don't think this will have a major effect on Correa's eventual contract. Turner's contract is more of a benchmark.

Oh darn...I thought we had a real shot at getting him!

Judge signed for what was expected and with the team expected. The Yankees have the money and Judge nearly single-handedly carried his team into the playoffs. I do not believe that there is any relationship between the Judge signing and what Correa seeks or receives in his contract.

I'm not sure how much this affects a deal for CC. Judge's deal is what everyone has been expecting all along.

If anything, it just stirs the pot as to who is chasing after who moreso than $$$ amounts.

What it looks like is CC to SF & Bogaert to the Cubs now.

Good - while Judge is a great talent, hopefully this monster contract at some point prevents them from getting someone they want in the future.

This is where we need an "I agree" (head nodding?) emoji. Because I do agree, but don't really "like" the fact.

These contracts are never a financial burden to the teams from major markets. Peanuts for the Yankees.

Yep, me too. If Twins don't sign Correa I don't really want Bogaerts. He's not a good defender. Just play Farmer until Lewis is ready to come back up.
