Have to assume at this point the Angels are begging Correra to take another 1 year deal (with additional player options) so he can chase a ring with Ohtani.

Angels should re-sign Lorenzen to a short deal and stand pat on bats imo.

I'm not sure Correa is the missing piece the angels need to compete for a world series

3 years, $43.5M. Seems reasonable. And an opt-out after year 2, and if Haniger plays well enough to opt out I won't complain.

Can they trade for an entire bullpen and a bacta tank for Rendon as well?

Taijuan Walker to the Phillies 4/72 is insanity lol, extremely good deal for Taijuan and his agent.

OK, that checks out. I supposed that means the Phillies were never in on Rodon as that would mean setting all their draft picks on fire

Gonna be great to watch a generational talent tread water in Pittsburgh until the trade deadline of his last arb eligible year, all the while Nutting pretending like THIS is the year they build a team around him and compete.

Just kidding, Nutting won't say poo poo except how poor they are and can't afford it.

He's been a very middling pitcher his entire career. Luckily for him he had a much better year in 2022 right before he hit FA.

I would much rather have someone like Chris Bassitt, but I imagine he's going to cost even more

It is, but after Nola/Wheeler/Ranger, they really struggled for consistency down the stretch, and absolutely got burned by Kyle Gibson. Syndergaard was nice, but he doesn't eat as many innings as you'd like. Falter was decent, but he's not a sure thing. Middleton and Dombrowski just want competitive innings-eaters, and Walker is basically September insurance.

No. They fell apart in June and July and got it back together in August and September when they got the juiced balls.

Wrong. The Yankees were hitting homers most of the season, the issue was that the pitching fell apart.
