The Astros shouldn't have had to match Minnesota's offer - they should have been offering something better than than on their own.
5 / 160 is a terrible deal for him for his prime years only. He ends up a free agent when he can't maximize future value. MLB salaries are weird...
That's a similarly dumb reason to walk away, given that the Astros were the ones that didn't want a longer-term commitment anyway.
No one's talking about a 10 year deal. They are talking about Minnesota's 3 year deal with opt-outs.
So that's why they offered him a 6 year deal but were opposed to him opting out after one year? You need to just stop with the "I'll try to...
Why? He wanted a long-term deal and the Astros didn't want that. So then he wants a short-term deal and the Astros don't want that either?
Correa is not a pawn in all of this - he was well educated on his free agency process. Why would he want the same deal with a worse team (and...
Also ignoring what specifically makes Putin a war criminal. Space Ghost is just Space Ghosting. Being contrarian for the sake of it but without...
Yuck. The Astros wouldn't do an opt-out for Correa but would for Trevor Story who's less likely to opt out? They'd be paying just as much just to...
Based on what he signed with in Minnesota, that doesn't seem likely. Once the lockout ended, the Astros should have gone to Correa and said "we...
I'm saying if the Astros offered the same deal as Minnesota, but were committed to letting Correa go if he opted out next year. Then the Astros...
This is the part that's laughable to me - not from you, but from the organization. Astros didn't want to do a long-term commitment that Correa...
Boras did what was best for his client - the long-term deals didn't appear, so he got a 1 year deal with an extra $70MM in emergency protections....
There'd only be a groan amongst stupid people. The point was always to delay Covid until either it disappeared or it was less deadly (due to...
This is just a silly reason to not get a player. They could easily just say next year "if you opt out, we're not interested". They'd have gotten...
Or if the Astros wanted him here, they could have worked a deal.
If true, that's pretty sad if the Astros couldn't match that. That's about as low-risk as you could ever get for a player of that caliber.
Out of curiousity, what countries did Clinton and Obama invade?
But the value of Correa to Crane is different than it is to Click. For Click, it's just about what he produces on the field. For Crane, its...
Ukraine by itself is holding off Russia pretty well. I think Europe is pretty well positioned for a conventional war - the entire problem is...
