Honestly, if you want to see the Tigers take a run at Trevor Story, that may be best case scenario. But man, Semien and Seager both set the bar really high for SS signings.

That's why it was silly when people kept proposing like 5 year 125 million deals for some of these guys.

Still don't think the Tigers go 300+ for anyone but it is getting interesting.

Corey Seager to the Rangers for 10/325.

Correa is going to beat Lindor, isn't he?

Inflation everywhere.

Probably. Care to venture a guess who will ? Yankees ? I have been wrong on almost all of it.

Well at least if the Tigers do they now have Texas as cover....no State tax in Texas just saved Seager about 40 million over CaliNewsome taxes.

Unbaised 3rd party take? Correa to the Yankees is the most predictable shoe to drop.

Seems that way and Baez probably back to the Mets as Cohens counter. Mets and Texas mucking it all up !

I forgot about Chris Taylor. I suppose he wouldn't be the worst consolation prize in the world. Decent enough bat, versatile enough to play all over the field if we do indeed want to try Kriedler at SS plus with the money saved we could potentially allocate that money elsewhere.

I could see the Dodgers going his direction as well

They are playing for about 2-3 years down the road.... a lot of youngsters will hit the circuit in the next couple of years.

It's not the most conventional way to build a team, but best of luck to them.

Rangers are trying to recreate another team like 1999.  940 run team.

Yankees may be the best bet but not until a new CBA is in hand. Seattle looks like they're making a move. Angels are always a wild card. Mets are establishing themselves as that kind of wild card.

I wouldn't rule out the Astros, either.

The sports talk radio here is all crying about losing Seager and still hating on Correa for 2017 World Series. They would probably quiet down if he signs with the Dodgers though. I really thought they LOVED Seager.

Who needs a free agent SS when you can get a 29 year-old minor league pitcher with an 8.42 ERA?

True. This Yankee ownership is more measured than they were back in the George S days.

LOL - it better not be much more than that because the odds that you get lucky with 2 middle IF both playing well into their 30s is not good.

Trust me, I think it's idiotic.... even more idiotic than Al's skeleton rebuild. But the locals will eat it up anyway.

Morosi's take, which still places the Tigers right in the mix of the Correa Sweepstakes

Right, but is it now going to take nearly 400 Ms to get the deal done with him?

[gehringer_2]

Heyman twitted that the Rockies have reconsidered and are going to make an offer to Story.

[gehringer_2]

TBH, this is starting to feel like Juan Gonzales. The best deal may be the one you don't make.
