If the roles were reversed, we would be jumping for joy acquiring one of the best RP in baseball for 2.5 years for our org’s 4th and 6th ranked prospects. Especially when one of them is light years away from making MLB
We’re not exactly great at developing defense and he’s already questionable to stick at C at 18. An age where athleticism is near peak. I’ve got a bad feeling we’ll be talking about 1B/DH Eduard Tait in 2 years.
Tait sounds like the same type of player Falvey continues to target over and over again. Bad defensively, slow speed, supposedly great bat for low A ball.
Kevin Kernan is on Dan Barreiro’s show on KFAN. First thing they discuss is Correa. And he’s of the belief if Correa made it known right now that he’d waive his NTC for Houston that Correa already decided he wants out of here.
I would definitely stick to my guns on the Duran negotiation. Painter has to be included to part with him. Jax can be moved for a lesser return than Duran.
Remember last year when Correa was playing armchair GM and gave Falvey a list of preferred trade targets at the deadline? And Falvey did nothing? That’s probably when the wind was taken out of Correa’s sails here in Minnesota.
