Well, there is JV, if you tar all 2017 Astros with the same brush. I'd bet on Altuve making it if he can produce during the back half of his career, and he's an absolute lock if he makes it to 3000 hits.

Uh, the Astros literally just won the World Series with a rookie shortstop who won the ALCS MVP and WS MVP. All signs point to him being a star in the league for years to come. wtf are you on about "Lol Astros"

The Astros have a policy of no more than five year deals apparently. That's eventually going to bite them in the rear end but for now it's working e: worth mentioning that this policy has resulted in every one of their big free agents leaving so far unless they sign while still under team control for multiple more years and other than Abreu they've failed to attract any marquee free agents I think the second biggest free agent signing behind him was Uncle Mike who while I love the guy isn't a needle mover. More of a complementary player on an already good team Intruder fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Dec 14, 2022 |

DeepDickPizza posted:it's so funny that the Cubs brought the Cubs Convention back just to introduce Cody Bellinger's trash rear end Have they preemptively cancelled the Owners Q&A session yet? Either way unless Jed has some massive trades lined up to push up the window it's going to be loving brutal there, even with the self selection homerism. In reality they'll most likely panic-sign Swanson to regress to the mean and a bunch of scraps to slapdick their way to 75 wins. #ThatsCub

I just realized Carlos Correa will be teammates with Joc Pederson - a Dodger on the 2017 team. That will be a-spicy meatball!

My stupid theory is Steve Cohen knows that another SEC investigation is inevitable in the near future. So he's going on a spending spree to get a ring before the hammer comes down. Even if he doesn't end up in Club Fed, the trial and fines will eat up the time and money he devotes to baseball. So why not spend half a billion on a roster that cannot last long term. It's the white collar dork version of going on a coke bender the night before you go to prison.

Ok, I may be forgetting, but the only big time free agent signing a long term deal in the AL was deGrom right? not counting judge since he stayed where he was.

Unless you think Zunino is going to give Cleveland's lineup a shot in the arm.

Congrats Correa and Giants, though 14 year deals are just bonkers to me. He's still relatively young but will still be well over 40 when that deal is over.

Maybe bawfuls won't agree but honestly Correa to SF is so good for baseball and for that rivalry. I literally can't conceive of a move that a rival could make that would piss off a fanbase more, every Correa AB in LA is going to be insane. There are children yet to be born who will boo Carlos Correa PAs in Dodger Stadium https://twitter.com/kidagreen/status/1603044199234146305 They're gonna have to dig another cove to name after him when he's done zoux fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Dec 14, 2022 |

I think Swanson will basically be Jason Heyward and doesn't solve the problem of them having literally no bats in the lineup, but I want the Cubs to give him $250 million just to spend some fuckin money.

IcePhoenix posted:https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1602891690263584771 They legitimately tried here, and though I think Correa is worth his contract, I knew the Twins were never going to go north of $300 million. The Twins still have money to spend, but I dunno that they're any more likely to go big money on pitching than they were to buy a premium position at $350 million. They simply don't believe in long term contracts for pitchers. Gonna be interesting to see their pivot this year, I guess

No thanks. If we want a defensive shortstop, we might as well stick with Nico. If they couldn't get Turner or Correa, just move on.

My big thing with Correa beyond the obvious “he’ll be a very good 3b in 5 years” is he’s primarily a fastball hitter. As he ages and his bat speed/reaction time slows, he’s gonna look like 2022 Donaldson for the back half of that contract.

So is that it for big names (I guess maybe Rodon)? It seems like the process wrapped up really quickly compared to previous years.

Rodon and Dansby are the last A-level free agents. Bunch of B and C left though. Somewhat outdated but still a good view of who's left https://twitter.com/TalkinBaseball_/status/1601297448248479746?s=20&t=YmDgHPHbq9u26b6oQCfSYw MrMidnight fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Dec 14, 2022 |
