Absolutely. No insurance would definitely be a hangup for many teams. High risk, high reward indeed. If Cohen backed out... it's risky....that dude doesn't GAF about money often

Reasonable back end to that deal for Twins...makes me confident that Boras KNOWS his ankle is hanging on a tendon and had NO opt outs. With all this physical history...zero chance this is getting insured as well, correct? What a devastating contract that would be if he gets hurt badly in any of the first 3 years.

33.3 mil a season. He helps make them better no doubt...but I wonder how much left they have to spend. Also...isn't it freaking weird that they didn't sign anyone else after he got those high priced contracts that fizzled...almost like they knew his medicals were bad...

Correa to Twins makes too much sense. let that dude rot on a 3rd place team as an albatross that prevents them from getting good pitching.

Unless La Stella's Achilles healed 100%, his career is basically over.

Oh, Sheets and Eloy is the backup plan...so don't get too excited.

Elvis will be the twins starting SS...and help them be awful....and we all rejoice

Segura's deal is 3 years with a 10 million option or 2 mil buyout. Not that great of a deal anymore for his age and declining bat. Roll with the youngins and sign Duvall as RF insurance and power. One of Romy/Sosa/Rodriguez is going to be league average, just hope it doesn't take 2 seasons to figure out whom.

Atlanta and White Sox both have an amazing culture of early contracts that give generational wealth opportunities...but definitely benefits the teams' financial ledgers. Braves difference is that they are much more aggressive in getting the talent in whatever avenue best fixes the roster (Trades, FA overspends, Farm risks), while the Sox are much more conservative in their pursuits and more about just getting "deals" with what they have for JR cost certainty

Every article about the difference between last year and upcoming is like Fegan taking a giant dump on TLR's head...and I love it. what an absolute disaster we lived through

Saw this. Hilarious. And Cohen already publicly commented on the signing so they are stuck with it. Eat s%*# you loud moth billionaire

That was some amazing work by Boras to get that much imo. Totally understandable why Sox locked up Benni

He is a difference maker that could take a competing team over the top, but also f*** Bauer. 100% that Clevinger got a text already trying to test the Sox waters. But zero chance for all the reasons. The only fan base that would accept him is a texas team...because texas.

giving up 40 HR DH potential doesn't seem wise to me. If he is out of the field...he is going to absolutely mash.

Or Baty is 3rd Baseman, SS Correa (where he freaking should be) and Lindor moves to 2nd as the worst contract in the history of baseball (it kinda already is even at SS)

Graveman as closer scares the heck out of me. It also makes Bummer your primary set-up man. Good god.

Can cohen email it to him to start the proc....nevermind.

If you are trading for Baty...you might as well move TA this offseason as well and retool for 2024. But then pitching is at a deficit. Man, they really screwed this window in 21-22 with TLR

They will have to dump Escobar & McCann and potentially more . If they truly want Hendricks as rumored, conversation has to start with McNeil imo. I still think Correa signs with Giants anyways, so all moot speculation

Mets want Correa. Mets will need to move some money to make that signing. Sox could benefit from this salary dump exercise from this including McNeil potentially.

as they should be. for how much Sox fans want to complain about this off-season...theirs is absolutely comically bad.

Colas is ready. Watch the highlights across 3 levels, look at the production...and remember he already played in Japan. He is NOT a developmental player...he is an asset they paid handsomely for to move thru the system very fast. His swing is beautiful and even if he only hits .225, his power and ability in the field will best anything they have internally or left on the open market that is realistic (they all have question marks). Embrace Corlas, Colas or Cola...it will all be refreshing in the end.

If you do this...you are the villains. Maybe that is the swagger they need to overcome the Astros boogeymen. But also, f*** Bauer.

Okay, that is decent deal for them. For some silly context though....Dansby has one more season of at bats than Benitendi... And 1 less WAR in a premium defensive position.

Your definition of stud is different than mine. His power has slotted in nicely the last 2 seasons...but he isnt worth a 10 year overpay...and I think he is gonna get 10/230 here.
