MLB Offseason Moves

Seriously what is the point of this from the Pirates perspective. I get it from Rich's perspective getting a nice payday but from the Pirates not so much.

But he has one year of control and doesn’t match th ari window

I think they can contend for a playoff spot this year with him. Probably a few years from really challenging LAD/SD though.

I swear, the Diamondbacks did not sponsor these projections!

But is it worth no flipping him into assets to help at the point where they can challenge them?

They just keep signing 'em!

10 umps are retiring before the upcoming season.....but yet, Angel Hernandez still lingers....

Sources: 10 MLB umps retiring, most since '99

Ten MLB umpires, which includes seven crew chiefs, are retiring, the most since 1999.

Unfortunately, Angel Hernandez is a product of the Umpire's union. He can't be fired, nor can he be forced to retire. His work is not exemplary.

The greatest compliment he has ever received. If only his mother were still alive to witness this moment.

Wow. Per Jeff Passan:

BREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal has a vesting option that can max out at $270 million. It is pending physical.

Definitely a record for the most teams agreed with in one winter.

Another physical to hurdle......

What a mess. Giants to Mets to Twins. Overall, I couldn't be more happy. Correa is a very good player but he isn't worth that money imo. Glad the Twins spent on him.

Fire bloom for not ripping that

If we didn't already have options for 3B it would hurt more but to fail 2 physicals with different teams to me means there's definitely something there. Potential bullet dodged.

Giants medical team deserves medals. No one else saw whatever it is they saw. Saved the Giants, and eventually the Mutts, $300m each.

I think the expression on Christopher Russo's face made the entire deal worthwhile. He looked like he was going to explode on TV today.

I wonder what the medical staffs found. It could end up being a bargain for the Twins, or a waste of money. Time will tell....

Yeah but they never said what it is. I need to know- was it meningitis?, Scoliosis? Lupus? Was it lupus?!?!?!

I think the Twins ended up being pretty big winners here. Worst case is they are stuck with a $33m aav albatross for up to 6 years (if he blows out his leg this ST and immediately retires due to injury). But that’s it. If he continues to play, then some options (??) activate for years 7-10. But the Twins are not on the hook for those additional years unless he shows to be somewhat durable in the first 6 seasons of the contract.

The Giants and Mutts walked away because they would have been on the hook for 13 (Giants) or 12 (Mutts) years, regardless.
