I caught a quick glimpse at the bottom of ESPN saying Verlander looked sharp. Can yall confirm?

Yeah for sure. Story doesn’t make sense at all to me
Seems to be close to the DAT consensus. They will sign him tomorrow.

Save that money for Yed and Ted
In addition, have to do something at 1B and LF in 2023.

Correa isn’t worth on the field what he wanted to be paid. Teams that stay at the top for a long time don’t give out those contracts. Teams that remain relevant for a long time are the teams that find value. They find players that are worth more on the field than they’re being paid. Flexibility is extremely important in making moves to improve the team and stay at the top of baseball both now and well into the future. It’s not popular with many fans, but it’s smart management.
After being a little emotional last night, I agree with this. Even before last night I stood firm that Correa wasn’t worth what he was asking due to his injury history. I despised everything about Carlos Lee and I wouldn’t have wanted to go through something like that again.

I am not familiar with Pena, but would much rather him start at SS than Diaz. See what the young kid can do.

If a 27 yo team leader at a premium position ain’t getting a long term deal, ain’t nobody getting one from Crane. I don’t disagree with their business model, it just seemed like this would be the one if there ever was going to be one.
I would love to hear more details on why they couldn’t get the 3 year deal done though. Or at least what the Astros did offer.
I guess you could argue even that shorter deal wasn’t in their best interest considering they have two big extensions to work on, maybe 1B and LF to fill next year, and hopefully JV pitching well and opting into the 2nd year of his deal. That’s not even considering possible extensions for young pitchers. Tough to keep a talented team together.

Correa’s best spot in the order was 6
.280 hitter w 25 HR and 85 RBIs IF he stays healthy is not worth 30 M long term
We will miss his defense, arm, and leadership, which probably has more value than we can appreciate, but the only way it pays is if you win it all
And your chances are probably better to do that by picking up 3-4 guys at the deadline like the Braves did, missing their best player, Acuna

Saw an article/video by idiot Jim Bowden saying Astros are a middle of the road AL since we didn't sign Correa, yet he was guaranteeing that we would resign him.
He's a fricking phony. He doesn't know shite.

If Pena flops, Bregman doesnt bounce back, and Ted and Yed regress at all, there will be a boatload of Nostradamuses

The Tigers floated a deal for about $275M to Carlos Correa before the lockout (and before they signed Javier Baez), when he was seeking $330M-$350M. But with two opt-outs there's a chance this works out as well or better.

Opt outs after the first two seasons. I’m assuming the Astros weren’t going to agree to that.
Why not? That's essentially what they were doing this year.

Yankees finally get Marwin Gonzales

Story to the Red Sox. Hope Pena is the real fricking deal.
Posted on 3/20/22 at 9:33 am to A Menace to Sobriety
6y/140m

So if he opts out the Red Sox can retain his rights at different terms... curious about this

If Story opts out and the Red Sox opt back in, a 7th year is added at $25M. Since there is a $5M buyout the total would then be $160M. @Joelsherman1 on it

so at this point anyone linked to the Astros is 100% not going to the Astros

Missing on Story is not a bad thing.
