RatkoVarda Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Tigers get a lot better; last year defense and hitting from SS was awful. Correa: 11/352??? Seager: 10/325 Semien: 7/175 Baez: 6/? Story: ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cowan Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If the 6 years is true that would be fantastic, the Tigers would be finished with tne contract after his age 34 seaon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I'm not disappointed. Is Correa really worth more than double? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I had a feeling that the "Mets are still in it on Baez" was more bluster than reality after the news broke of the Tigers interest on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Brian_K Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Considering what Simien got I am a little bummed we did not land him instead. But I am 100% thrilled they did not throw 300+ at Correa. The Simien deal was about perfect IMO. Still a 4+ WAR guy and you will not be hating the contract by the time it is over.

John_Brian_K Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) A good glove and 30 HR a year with a +.750 OPS...I guess we can live with it. Edited November 30, 2021 by John_Brian_K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djhutch Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I don't think the deal is bad - Certainly glad we upgraded, but I'm a little worried about the K/BB rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did they offer Correa 10 years? More, because of Seager? Those 5 guys will be linked together for the rest of their careers. Every time Baez goes 2 for 27 we will be looking up the numbers for the other 4 guys. Every time Seager goes on the DL, Ranger fans will do the same thing.

If I had to guess (based in some part on Stavenhagen's comments on his podcast this week), the Tigers were probably competitive on AAV but didn't offer the 10 years that Correa wants. I preferred Correa over others, but I get not wanting to be tied down for that long as well. Edited November 30, 2021 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not "willing to spend spend spend"... But willing to spend what it takes to build a competitive team that can make the playoffs. Exactly what we all wanted and they are hitting cylinders on all heads this offseason. They're also spending smartly, which is what they said they would do. I'm hugely pleased so far. If anyone remembers... I called it big time in late April or early May when they were in their death throes to start the season and I said "guys, this team is going to get better and we're going to sign big FA's this offseason". Not trying to toot my own horn but... pleased that exactly what we could have all max-hoped for, has pretty much come to pass. Now we just need Greene & Tork to kick everyone's ass next year, and none of our young pitchers to regress in their 2nd or 3rd-ish years....

RandyMarsh Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Law likes the signing. To sum it up he said as is its a great signing but it has the upside to be even better if Baez discovers any type of plate discipline like he showed with the Mets. Did say that considering where they are at in the win curve that they may have been better suited to sign the superior player in Correa. Also Said they are good enough as is to catch the White Sox but need a couple breaks to go their way and need Tork on the opening day roster cause every win will count.

RatkoVarda Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 I think the tigers should have a back up plan, but right now, Tork and Greene are penciled in the line up for opening day also, Keith Law hates the Tigers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
