Yeah I'm not at all surprised. Hopefully Lewis can come back and produce at a good level. Otherwise I have no idea. But maybe they work out a longer deal with Correa. Everyone seems to have loved him in MN, and he put in the third-best season by a Twins SS of all time. I don't think they'd necessarily pony up for him, but I'd like to think it would be a possibility. With Trea Turner theoretically being available this year I think his overall value on the market is a little lower. It'll be interesting to see where guys land this year. And even without Correa I think position players are pretty consistent and mostly set for the Twins. The question mark, as it always is, is pitching. The rotation is riddled with injuries or guys coming off them and the bullpen still needs to be consistent and reliable. Correa can't fix that, and *not* paying him might help us shore that up. (Haha just kidding Pohlads will just lower payroll by exactly his contract amount.)

Popete posted:If you're an Angels fan that is great news but it also means another wasted year for the two best players in MLB. Rockies need to just create a superteam, obliterate every team hitting record ever, and show everyone the true benefit of playing half your games in Denver. Ohtani, Trout, Judge, everyone. Be the greatest show on earth for a couple years completely break baseball. Instead, they just bank on being the only game in town for hundreds and hundreds of miles and having rad unis.

more falafel please posted:basically until this video mainstream journalism covered crypto and NFTs with the wide-eyed wonder of the 90s internet: "whoa, I don't totally understand this but here's a guy whose title is 'crypto sensei' at a startup talking about how it's the future!" and covering the massive (fake) amount of money these things were selling for I've just never understood how "dump your money into an unregulated black hole" was ever supposed to work for the end user, both in crypto and in the NFT abstraction layer. But I also regularly overestimate humanity's ability in almost every possible realm, so this shouldn't be a surprise, ultimately.

If you're not walking through a frozen slough with an underpowered shotgun while your alcoholic father stands outside, high and dry, with one bad eye and a high-powered rifle, waiting for your tiny, drenched and tired body flushing out a white-tail, you're not really hunting. Look at that fuckin gun. You could hit a bird in another county with that thing.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:The "absurdly preliminary" '23 ZiPS projections just leaving current FAs out of it entirely, have Atlanta leading MLB at 96 wins somehow? I was about to say that no matter who MN picks up, they will get 85 wins and just barely miss the division while being miles back of a wild card. They could somehow land Correa and Verlander AND Kershaw and still somehow collapse in August.

Ruth J. Gibson Paige Williams Robinson Mantle B. Gibson Ryan Bonds Ichiro I really want to include Randy Johnson. But I think, narrative-wise, you get a good cross-section of baseball history through the major mature periods. If pressed I'd probably include Speaker, Cobb, Wagner, Hornsby, and Walter Johnson, but... well. Bonds is a terrible enough person.

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.

I wonder how long Royce Lewis will actually be now and what his prospects actually are after a second ACL surgery. Will he be still he a good SS? Do we move him to 3B and have Swanson's be A Guy for several years? Like, I was on board with Correa because everyone knew he'd be leaving and he was a splash to be a bridge to Lewis, but now I legit don't know what the gently caress. I feel like the Twins are just in a loop of shuffling deck chairs for a the next several years. Moreso than usual. Like, IS there a plan? rickiep00h fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Dec 14, 2022 |

General Bullshit posted:
I would laugh a lot. Like a lot a lot. Because if his ankle does not, in fact, fall out, and he produces at Correa levels, it would be hilarious. That said, the Twins are already playing the "if everyone is healthy" lotto again this year. So it might still be hilarious, but in that other, not actually funny way.

Meanwhile Lesnar was clapping like crazy Lesnar is from South Dakota and was discharged from his Army Reserve office job because he can't type. He is, however, an NRA shill. I think even as athletes go, he's probably an extra special case.
