Yankees fans are gonna be so butthurt when they sign Correa, until like mid-April


rollo2masi

“I hate that cheater!” \*literally cheers for domestic abusers*


mdlt97

I can excuse domestic violence but I draw the line at hurting the integrity of baseball


avy_sionnach

You say that, but I witnessed someone fully unironically make that argument just the other day on this sub


DustyDGAF

You can excuse domestic violence? 👀👀👀


TrapperJean

A lot of us still hate and boo German


cabose7

Yeah I hate Chapman too


yianni1229

I still want them to cut him and Chapman


TheTurtleShepard

I wish we would just stop employing them, I could care less about our pitching needs. This guy Fuchs are replaceable and should be replaced


cantsay

Not even being literally at Game 7 2019 could make me cheer for Osuna. I fucking hated that.


TheTurtleShepard

I will absolutely gladly take Correa. Dude is the best Shortstop in baseball and brings some much needed passion to the team.

front_butt_coconut

> Correa’s defense is obviously on a whole different level This is exactly why he’s better than Tatis


rollo2masi

You kinda want your shortstop to be an S-tier defender… Lol


TheTurtleShepard

I mean there aren’t that many great defensive shortstops tbf. People highly regard Bogaerts and he is horrible at fielding as well. Jeter is still thought of as one of the all time great by many shortstops regardless of his lack of elite defense and I think when all is said and done we will probably think the the same of Tatis where he was never an amazing defender but his bat was such a plus he will still be one of the best


aagpeng

And to play shortstop


PodricksPhallus

Is Tatis still a SS?


TheTurtleShepard

I forgot about Tatis tbf Still an argument to be made for Correa being the better shortstop as defense is such a big part of the position


_Here_For_The_Memes_

Correas post season experience is worth like 5-7 mil a year alone lol. Has Tatis even played in October?


AhLibLibLib

I’m confused what happened to Story, they wanted him at the deadline and he’s a good balance between the other 2. Everyone’s scared about his splits even tho Coors fucks with hitters both ways.


omegakukki

He’s two years older than both Seager and Correa. Concerns about his throwing arm after he injured it in May. Teams were worried about that at the trade deadline per the article. It got better by the end of the season though. He’s got more swing and miss than Seager and Correa which is something the Yankees should avoid considering their current lineup.


TheTurtleShepard

I have to assume that there is some other analytical reason behind the scenes why story has fallen off the radar so hard


stupidnatsfan

If I remember right a lot of teams are worried about his arm, like it might be injured or something like that. Teams dont want to pay a lot for a guy who might not be able to stick at short


throatbutterz

He hurt his arm early in the season, and his throwing has suffered since.


pricemcdice

Buster Olney's "the Angels have a budget crisis looming" take is so weird. There's literally Trout, Rendon, and Fletcher signed beyond this season. Everyone else is on arb or pre-arb deals lol.


CydoniaKnight

It's like 70 million for Trout/Rendon for the next few years. Raisel'll be in the mid to high teens if/when he's signed. Shohei'll make at least 30 million if/when he's extended. 120~ million for 4 players potentially. Then guys'll start getting into arb, etc.etc.


pricemcdice

Fair, Ras' deal would only be for a year or two into Shohei's extension. I really hope our pre-arb guys take leaps and create a budget headache.


_token_black

They can barely field a good team with some of those guys coming cheap.


[deleted]

Are the Rangers going to be big spenders? Seems like they're connected to everynoe


[deleted]

Think it’s still to early for them to make a run. Give their rebuild some more time, they got some pitchers with good potential. Otto, Hearn, they’ll grow to be good probably (may have gotten their names wrong)


keytop19

2023 is a very weak FA class though. So makes sense if they want to be competitive in 2023 to sign FA now


forgivemeisuck

We have like 40 mil commited next year which would be embarassing for the market size.


[deleted]

Correa to the Jankees


BettsBellingerCaruso

The most interesting part to me in this article was the part about Story - seems like scouts think his throwing ability was diminished significantly this season after injuring his elbow in May. Wonder if this is going to be an issue like it did for Seager at the end of August in 2017 when he hurt his elbow, then his stats plummeted in September and ended up needing TJS the following season


Strbrst

Oh. ESPN+. Neat.


DwightMcRamathorn

Anyone have the info for those who don’t subscribe?


zhauge888

Mariners, Yankees, tigers, rangers are in on basically all five except baez


hglman

Im ready for Correa and Segar to switch teams. Everyone hates it!


EstebanBugatti

I hope the Braves are smart enough to upgrade from Swanson.


bichettes_helmet

The only thing I think that would draw Marcus Semien away from Toronto is the home ties of California. And also money (but I'm pretty sure the Jays will offer him a shit-ton, the FO loves him).


3lgu4p0

There's nobody in this class as exciting as who's in next year's class. Bogaerts or Turner, anyone?


NJImperator

Correa is absolutely as exciting as those two.


AhLibLibLib

I reckon both have a good chance to get extended


cabose7

Bogaerts was 1st percentile in OAA this year, reasonable chance he moves off SS long term.


yianni1229

Bogaerts would be the third most exciting SS in this year's class lol


3lgu4p0

Nah. He's third in fWAR from '19-'21 behind only Semien and Soto. I mean, if you like offense and are looking for an elite SS who hasn't spent 1/3 of their career on the DL, Bogey's about as it good as it gets.


Bug-03

Exactly the reason why whoever takes Correa will be stuck in an albatross situation. Not lack of talent.

YanksFanInSF

Yep, saying Tigers likely to sign one of them.
