Correa isn't actually a FA quite yet. But he'll soon be able to field offers from other clubs. www.mlbtraderumors.com/houston-astrosFive years, $32MM AAV. Will he accept or will the Astros throw a QO at him tomorrow? |

The AAV is extremely fair. I doubt he'll accept, but this strikes me as a totally fair offer.

Also, reminder that Correa himself mentioned being aware of the benefits of no state income tax in Texas. For someone to beat the amount he'll actually take home, they'd probably have to offer him a lot more. For example, New York's rate is 10.9% for anyone making $25 million or more. The Yankees would have to offer him over $35 million per year just to make up the tax difference.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Astros sweeten it with an extra year and a signing bonus, to around 6 years, $200 million total. If he wants more than that, good luck. He won't actually get more than that though, most likely, when you figure in the tax.

My sense is that he won't take it. Click has already proven that he'll go at least 6 years (the 6/120 offer) so, no.
In reality there's only 2-3 teams that have the capability of and need for signing him to a huge deal and a couple of those might have reservations about signing him due to the scandal. Can you imagine the bad pub if he were to sign with the NYY? Then again, they may not care.
Ultimately I think the Astros might go something like 7/210, but no more. And his massive offensive disappearing acts plus durability concerns would make me hesitant to do even that much.

I had not seen this until now, but Randy McIlvoy (local NBC station's sports reporter, for those who don't know/live out of town) is saying Crane will go $210 million over 6 years, or $35 million per year.
"Sources with knowledge of Crane and the Astros’ thinking tell me that since the ALCS against the Red Sox, Crane has been prepared to increase the club offer to six years for $210 million, which averages to 35 million per season."
That would actually be a $900,000 increase in AAV compared to Lindor, and that's before you take off the more than 10% extra for NY state income tax. It's nearly a $5 million per year increase over Lindor with that.

In fact, after adjusting for state income taxes, Correa's untaxed $35 million per year would be the best in baseball. Cole and Trout's pre-tax numbers are higher but the tax rates bring them lower than $35 million.
LOL Mike Trout is paying over $4.5 million in taxes to the California state government every year to be with the Angles and he'll never win anything.

I thought that 6 years/$210 million was a more competitive offer, but I didn’t realize the extent.

Throw in a Year 7 option and that’s the limit for me.

It's not guaranteed money and they're committed for that amount even if they could get more on the FA market that year. And all they get is whatever buyout is attached if the team declines. 6/210 is a huge step up. That bumps the AAV from $32MM to $35MM and adds a year. My sense is that he won't take it. Click has already proven that he'll go at least 6 years (the 6/120 offer) so, no. In reality there's only 2-3 teams that have the capability of and need for signing him to a huge deal and a couple of those might have reservations about signing him due to the scandal.

And his massive offensive disappearing acts plus durability concerns would make me hesitant to do even that much. 7/210 still seems reasonable. It adds 2 years but reduces the AAV to $30MM. |

This is Cole 2.0. He will receive an offer for far more money and contract length than we are prepared to offer. He is gone, sorry to see him go, but goodbye and who will be next up.
An important thing to note, we are still the betting favorite to go back to the series in 2022 without Correa.
