If I was a contending team, I wouldn't give up much for Jax. I don't think he has the mindset to consistently pitch well in big spots when the calendar turns to October. He seems to get rattled easily.
On the bright side, the Guardians are looking at a total reset. The Royals are meh. The White Sox are the White Sox. And, the Tigers could move off Skubal this off-season. AL Central might be really bad again.
After the 2023 season ended, I deluded myself into thinking the Twins had a 3-4 year window where they could contend for the pennant.
The Pohlads are responsible for this. They killed this franchise.
I think it is too soon to write off Correa. If Buxton could somehow turn things around and get healthy (for at least most of 2025), then there is hope for Correa - unless of course there is something going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to.
