Since the Judge thing is over, now I'm excited to see where Carlos Correa ends up. I hope its the Dodgers for max fan internal dilemma.

zoux posted:So is the Harper deal or the Lindor extension more responsible for these endless $300m+ 10 year deals. Like I wonder if part of the problem Correa's having signing a deal is that everyone assumes his asking price will be ungodly money over an extraordinarily long time, since he's the best FA SS available, and hell if they're gonna give Trea Turner Bryce Harper money what does Carlos command Its more the CBT if anything. Guys still want the same total dollars for their big contract but teams are maxed out on AAV to avoid the tax so you get these mega long deals.

Yeah it's absolutely this, teams are incentivized to hand out longer term deals to push the AAV down because of how the CBT works. Where does the money collected from teams over the CBT go to? Presumably it's not just directly back to the owners or that would defeat the point of the tax.

Rosenthal Rumorsquote:The Dodgers are not pursuing shortstop Carlos Correa in part out of concern that a sizable portion of their fan base would not welcome the move. Correa was the most outspoken member of the 2017 Astros club that stole signs illegally during the postseason, and beat the Dodgers in a seven-game World Series. quote:The idea of the Cubs adding both Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson was always far-fetched. The addition of two prominent infielders worked for the Rangers last offseason in part because both Corey Seager and Marcus Semien were Scott Boras clients. But with Bogaerts represented by Boras and Swanson by Excel — two different agencies — it was much more difficult to coordinate two such signings. quote:The Cardinals’ agreement with Willson Contreras on a five-year, $87.5 million contract might accelerate the market for free-agent catchers, which also includes Christian Vázquez, Mike Zunino and Tucker Barnhart.

Sydin posted:I legitimately don't think they wanted to; there's been absolutely zero smoke around a potential reunion and I don't know if the Cubs ever even bothered engaging Contreras' camp. For whatever reason the org has been done with him for a while now. We'll find out in the coming weeks. If they don't sign any big names, it's completely about the money and them wanting to commit to the small market rebuild. If they bring in Correa, I'll assume they thought they money could be better spent elsewhere. I really don't know what to think of the whole situation. If they didn't like him for whatever reason, why didn't they trade him a year or two ago? Jed has been pretty bad so it could just be them misreading the market yet again.

Jed has been pretty bad so it could just be them misreading the market yet again. They had a trade worked out in principle with the Astros at the deadline that was nixed at the 11th hour by Dusty and ownership, and the only other interested team in the Mets wasn't willing to ship prospects the FO thought were equivalent or better than a compensatory pick from the QO. There was absolutely a push to trade Contreras. The Cubs have supposedly undergone a fairly significant philosophical shift at the catcher position, valuing run prevention over offense. This is presumably why they're still enamored with Amaya even though he can't stay healthy for five minutes and has never really hit at all in the minors except an extremely small sample this year after coming back from TJS. He's considered an extremely good defensive catcher and game caller, and it seems like the plan is still for him at some point to come up and become the new franchise catcher. Now personally I think this is an extremely stupid reason to yeet your fan-favorite franchise catcher who just put up a 134 wRC+, but unfortunately the Cubs keep rejecting my applications to become special assistant to Jed so I don't get a say.

Ohtani is going to get 45x10 next offseason and that deal will be at least as bad as that Judge deal.

There was absolutely a push to trade Contreras. Seems like moving a catcher at the deadline is much harder than in the offseason. Dusty spoke about how he wouldn't have played much and how it is tough to get a new catcher familiar with the staff. The lack of offers is telling. These seem like things a GM should know.

zoux posted:Astros are also rumored to be after Sean Murphy so they're not out of the catcher hunt entirely Aside from the bad karma of trading Santa right before Christmas, I'm morally opposed to sending any baseball player to Oakland in its current state. Nobody deserves that. Trade seems fair objectively, but it's as likely to hurt as help. Murphy is a big upgrade for the lineup, but without Garcia, the rotation couldn't withstand a single injury, and our #2 is Lance McCullers Jr. If he could stay healthy into November, yeah that's a nice boost for the offense, but if he misses 2-3 months like normal, you lose more in pitching than one bat can cover. I'm more surprised the Astros wouldn't do better than 17.5 mil a year for Contreras. Absolute steal for the Cards.

It's even crazier to me that Contreras only got $87 mil when the next best catcher on the market is a grab bag of guys like Vazquez, Zunino, and Barnhart

Now that Judge is signed my secret hope for the Hot Stove is that Correa waits too long, everyone takes one of the other SS options, and then he signs another 1 year opt out deal with someone.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Pretty sure Mariano Rivera is the Mariano Rivera of closing. Speaking of, would he have been a good addition for talking about the history of baseball? It was interesting reading top 10 baseball history dudes until the DEALS started happening. When I think of bullpen superstar, I just think of Mariano Rivera. Others but he's always the first one I think of. Maybe it's just because modern bullpen guys throw so hard they typically burn out faster.
