    I suspect Correa is aiming somewhere between Lindor/Seager and Judge. He's simply not as good or valuable as Aaron Judge. Asking for that kind of money is probably not going to get the result he wants.

    For the record, this shouldn't be posted as a rumor. If someone is actually going to a team and it's being confirmed, that's just a thread.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    That is pure ****ing insanity.

    Hayes and Gleeman with an update on Correa. They're talking up the Padres, who seemed like they were out and now may be back in. And, of course, the Giants are still very much in play. https://theathletic.com/3980840/2022/12/07/twins-carlos-correa-winter-meetings/

    People are making far too big of a deal out of the less-unbalanced schedule next year. It's not a balanced schedule, it's just a little less unbalanced. Instead of playing 19 games versus division opponents, everyone will play 14-ish games versus division opponents. In the end, that's probably worth 1-2 wins if you play in the AL East and 1-2 losses if you play in the AL Central. It's not going to move the needle much for the Twins because instead of playing some bad teams (and one good team), you play mediocrity (as in the entirety of the NL, which comes out to around .500). In 2022, the rest of the AL Central had a .469 winning percentage. The entire NL had a .499 winning percentage.

    Narvaez is also my first choice but Vazquez has a .682 career OPS against RHP. That's not terrible and about .070 higher than Jeffers' career number.

    Doogie reported that the Twins have offered free agent catcher Christian Vazquez a contract. The long-time Red Sox player is entering his age 32 season and should come at a considerable discount over the recently signed Willson Contreras. But unlike Contreras, Vazquez is known for a steady hand behind the dish and an excellent arm. With the Twins' desire to split time with Ryan Jeffers, signing someone like Vazquez makes a lot more sense than breaking open the piggy bank for a top-flight catcher like Contreras. View full rumor

    An interesting thing to think about is that I heard it mentioned that the Dodgers are currently under the luxury tax penalty. And that means they get to reset several years of penalties if they stay under it. That in itself could be encouragement for them to stay quiet this offseason.

    More information about "Ken Rosenthal update on Carlos Correa"
    A lot to sort out here but quite a bit of good news mixed in. The Dodgers appear to be out on Correa, as they're not keen on spending that kind of money on a player their fanbase loathes. The Giants are still in after missing out on Judge, as are the Twins. He believes the Cubs are a long shot, though mentions the Padres possibly being in, which contradicts what I heard elsewhere where the Pads were "Turner or bust", which is baffling given how they already have Tatis Jr coming back this season. Boegarts and the Red Sox appear to be back at the negotiating table so that's good news as well. And given that the Yankees just broke the bank with retaining Judge, it's hard to see them doubling down for Correa, especially given their apparent faith in their farm system at short. All in all, this seems pretty promising. I think it's going to be Giants vs Twins with no clear favorite.

    While I'm certainly nervous, there aren't many FA signings so far I'm sorry the Twins missed out on. I won't start to truly become nervous until Boegarts and/or Correa leave the board and neither are in a Minnesota uniform.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Wow, that's a huge win for the Twins. To go from 13 to five is a considerable difference in available talent and pool money.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Writing for BP now? Very cool and well done, @Lucas Seehafer PT!
  15. Brock Beauchamp
    I wonder if at dinner, the Twins offered Correa an extra opt-out if he picked up the check. I kid, I kid. (kind of)
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    Yeah, I don't see that happening unless he co-headlines the deal with someone like Lee or maybe even Kirilloff.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    No way does Arraez alone net Woodruff, much less Burnes.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Agreed. I'd much rather have Correa and Bogaerts should demand less money and years so he's more appealing in that capacity.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Frankly, I don't think a team should care about 10 vs. 11 years. It's a long ****ing time either way.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    Honestly, I don't see why MLB teams should care. 10 or 11 years, doesn't matter.

    Trea Turner to the Phillies. I do not know if this is good or bad for the Twins with Correa.

    I'm going to have to point myself if I keep derailing this thread
