I’d definitely throw Max Muncy in there too.

I would put the Braves above the Mets right now. Correa is not locked in yet, and that's a lot of new players that need to build a locker room presence to be a successful team. Mercenary teams usually take a while to get. 

[Henry Hill 3156]

I’d put the Rangers at #1 because nobody should care about power rankings period let alone a pre-season version in January.

Is this dumb coke head trying to make a point about vaccine being the cause of this collapse?

Devers has a lot of leverage against Red Sox management since they fucked so much previously. They are going to have overpay to make up for past sins

 

[InkaUtexas 25875]

A good signing for both Devers and the Sox. He will be the next DH. I am happy today. 

[billfromlaketravis 11448]

I don’t give it. Why are they spending $331 million to finish last in their division? Sox should be tanking. 

[huge 3793]

Sox fans aren't as forward thinking as we are.  They would revolt.

Braves have been working wizardry:

 

[kevwun 15769]

I believe they kidnap family members and hold them hostage until the team friendly deal is signed.

I mean, the difference is obviously the years of team control at the time those deals were signed. It’s not apples to apples.

But yeah, the Braves have used that leverage well. Well I guess it remains to be seen, but right now they look smart.

Sure it’s not apples to apples, but is the buyout of two more years of team control worth a discount of $90M (adjusted due to the add’l length of Devers’ deal).   It’s a really interesting comparison.

Dodgers DFA’d Bauer. Good for you, LA. Go fuck yourself, Tyler.

Does anyone sign him? If only Jeff Luhnow was running a team.

I hope not, but I bet somebody will. Maybe not immediately, but he’ll probably resurface. But perhaps the fact that, not only does he like to beat the shit out of women, but that he’s always been a detestable dipshit, who lacks an ounce of humility and whose teammates have generally hated him, will ultimately push teams toward letting him rot.

So essentially him being socially awkward douchebag will outweigh him being a psychopath. Got to love sports.

Ha, perhaps, but I was thinking it may be the sum of all his loathsome attributes.

Quite a drop off from 13/350 and 12/315

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Per annum it isn’t, and he could still get paid for the seasons after this contract if he’s still healthy enough. Plus the “pending physical” note. At what point do you not report this until after the physical is accepted and the deal actually done?

[kevwun 15769]

What kind of condition causes your leg to fall off in 7 years?  Does he have leprosy?

If Cohen wasn't so damn cheap...

[Scraps 13561]

It would be fitting to the Correa saga for him to tell the Twins “Thanks but no thanks. I’m going to Boston”

 

[tx 3 putt 76874]

Was just about to post that. The plot thickens !!

yuli played the bulk of his career at SS. The plot thickens again !!!

I don't know how you can watch Yuli play every day for years and think he can still play shortstop
