Apples and oranges. The Correa contract was made out of desperation and would not have been available to us earlier. Also, if Correa stays healthy and productive, he’s gone after one season.

I think Correa is better, but Baez has an opt out which means we'll probably miss his decline years. However, if the Tigers got Correa for the same contract as the Twins, I would prefer that over Baez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Baez for 2 yrs (or more) at age 29. If he walks at 31 I'm not going to be heartbroken. But I wouldn't be all that wild about investing 35M in Correa at age 27 and only having 1 yr committed - seems like a waste unless you were sure he puts you over the top, which would be a silly thing for either MN or DET to believe.

He's better than Baez, but Baez is going to be in the lineup every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some pretty devastating stuff when he 1st got to pro ball - threw a no-hitter at AA IIRC, then there were velo issues then the TJ. There could still be some serious talent there, or the physical window may have closed for him. But he and Wentz and Brieske will be the arms to watch for the chance of a break-out this season.

buddha Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 i dont see how you can not like this deal for the twins. they got the best player on the market for a short term deal that keeps him motivated amd allows him to reset again next year if he wants and makes him the highest paid player at his position. win-win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if Correa out produces Donaldson this season. I guess Minny is moving Arraez to 3rd, so if Donaldson vs Correa is a wash then you are really looking at Arraez vs Simmons which would be an improvement, but none of that addresses their pitching. Minny's problem was runs allowed, and that wasn't because they had Donaldson and Simmons on the left side. Normally the fact that they got younger by moving on from Donaldson and Simmon is a plus, but if Correa is just a rental.... But no doubt it works better for MN with Austin Martin and Royce Lewis in the wings than it would for Det.

gehringer_2 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Trevor Story to Beantown 6/140 (sound vaguely familiar?). Initial plan is he moves to 2b and Bogaerts stays at SS (wouldn't be my choice!) https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/2022/03/20/red-sox-sign-rockies-ss-trevor-story-play-2-b/7117373001/ Edited March 21, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota definitely has a path toward a playoff spot, but just about everything has to go right pitching wise. And like with the Tigers, whatever path exists is definitely not gonna involve a division title.... the White Sox haven't been as active this offseason, but they are still very lethal offensively and have made some pretty significant improvements in the bullpen (adding Gravemen/Kelly).

Sports_Freak Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Ghost runner is all set for extra inning again this season. And rosters will be extended to 28 players for the first month or so. Does the rule RP having to face at least 3 hitter still stand? I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasfh Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 It's disappointing that they decided to do zombie runners for the 10th inning, instead of starting them in the 11th, but there's nothing in it for Players or teams to make the game any longer than they feel they have to, so I can see how they arrived at the decision. So far, they're saying it's only for the 2022 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least we don't have little league, 7 inning games for DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Sonics Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Tigers roster through May 1st ? 10 position players (9 starters + Eric Haase) 18 pitchers (4 starters, 9 relievers, 5-man battle for spot 5 in the rotation). Actually, there is no pitcher cap, so they could have a 16-12 pitcher/position set up, but I think they go 15/13 Starters - Manning, Mize, Pineda, Rodriguez, Skubal Relievers - Alexander, Chafin, Cisnero, Foley, Fulmer, Funkhouser, Rony Garcia, Joe Jiminez, Soto, Wentz Catchers - Barnhart, Haase Infielders - Baez, Cabrera, Candelario, HCastro, WCastro, Paredes, Schoop Outfielders - Baddoo, Greene, Grossman, Reyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
