8/248 for Miguel Cabrera in 2014 5/110 for Jordan Zimmermann in 2016 9/214 for Prince Fielder in 2012 4/68 for Victor Martinez in 2014 Looks a lot like what Texas and Philly are doing. 'Assemble a team by outbidding the rest of the league for old free agents' is not a new strategy. It has typically not been a path to success.

Didn't see this coming
-
I agree
-
If the team is comfortable with a contract approaching 400M they shouldn’t have tunnel vision with Bo and Vlad. Machado, Bregman, Soto, Ohtani and Devers might also be hitting the market within the next two seasons, and any of those might make better targets.
-
Defense tends to start declining at 26 or so. A big SS like Correa with rapidly declining speed and a long injury history seeing his defense decline at 27, is like, the most expected trajectory imaginable.
-
Correa's speed and baserunning has been declining his entire career, to the point where he's now below average, and his defense took a big hit in 2022. He wasn't a plus defensive SS at 27, so its reasonable to think he probably won't be at 28. That bat is going to carry him to 3-5 win seasons in the short term if he stays healthy. I don't know what Kiermaier has to do with this. He's probably going to put up 1-2 WAR in 500 PA for 8-10M. Also he's beautiful.
-
Tulo is who he reminds me of. Big SS with an injury history who is already showing signs of declining athleticism. There's a not that unlikely world in which Correa as almost immediately an all-bat SS without elite power who hits in one of the biggest HR suppressing parks in the league.
-
What is it about Correa that makes you think his skill should age well?
-
Yeah. He's already seen his speed slip to below average, and his defense fell of a cliff last year. He's also had a lot of injury issues. Not liking the odds of him holding up long as an elite player.
-
Bo in particular is looking at a 350M payday in three years. I think there's basically no chance he's here past 2025.
-
Aaron Judge's contract is a steal compared to the Turner, Correa, and Bogaerts deals. All three of those guys have warts.
-
-
He's not even arb eligible in 2023. Hard to believe nobody wanted to pay him 600k or whatever to recover in exchange for his 3 arb seasons.
-
I feel like he always did great against Toronto.
-
I can’t believe you’ve done this
-
His time in Oakland broke him
-
-
You should. Laika is definitely looking to cut his losses.
-
I torn between wanting Bellinger to fail because Jim owns him in fantasy and wanting him to win the MVP because of the Terminator spin that would be required.
-
IIRC the situation with Adames was tough because he was open about not being able to see well at the Trop. His splits back that up: in his time with TB he had a 77 wRC+ at home and a 103 on the road.
-
Oakland might have still been better than most teams at some things 8 years ago - Beane was a competent GM and they might have still had an information edge on most teams. Both of those advantages might be gone now. Almost everyone they acquired last offseason saw their value plummet in 2022.
-
Oakland has two players that Steamer projects for more than 2 fWAR. Zero players projected for 3+. Absolutely embarrassing org.
-
everything is happening
-
The entire Rodon trade saga was me and P4L19 dry humping for like 8 months.
-
- MJ Melendez available for for a young CF or SP - Taylor Ward available for picks/prospects or SP - Kyle Lewis available for a pick upgrade - 3rd round picks in this year's draft available for 3rd rounders next year
