I’m cool with Goodrum replacing Díaz. Díaz was alright except that unusually reliable stretch last season, which was followed by a painfully cold streak. Both play a role essential to the team with less of a necessity for high production, but if Goodrum is cheaper then I don’t see why Díaz is too essential to deal. Plus, one utility player is enough. I know you don't want me to say one of these names.....But I hope the Astros sign Bryant and Hand....and trade for Contreras.... I might just might buy season tickets if this happen |

This from MLBTR:
“TODAY: In another update, Crane tells Mark Berman that the Astros are “in discussions” with Correa’s representatives.”

I've always thought it was the years and not the AAV that would separate the Astros and Correa. We're about to find out if that's true. The previous offer by the Astros was $160MM / 5-years (AAV $32MM). That falls short on both AAV and years from what Correa is demanding. But You're right in that it's a lot closer in AAV than years. The Goodrum signing complicates things for Pena. Especially if they sign Correa. Goodrum is a bench guy. No chance he blocks Pena if they believe Pena is ready. |

Hmm. My prediction: Boras will figure out a way to make sure he gets all the agent money and Correa will sign with the Astros within the next 2 days. |

Yankees get Josh Donaldson and Isaiah Kiner-Fallaffle w/e from the Twins. One less landing spot for Correa...

Minnesota is expected to make a call to the Astros in the next couple days about Odi. And Chaz.
Nothing confirmed but the Twins are being aggressive.

I’m calling it: 10 years/$325,000,000.04 thus beating Seager. |

my guess is that Thomas' idea for a short term high value deal is what is going on. 1 year and 45 million. Puts us over but I think we can get back under by dumping Odorizzi and Diaz. |

Braves just traded for Matt Olson. Freeman will have a new team (unless he's gonna be Atlanta's primary DH)

The Yankees are dialing in on Freeman. Freeman deserves so much better.... He got his ring last year. Now he's free to sign for the money, even with a team that never wins. |

I saw some speculation and conversation about Correa, his contract, the agent issues with the new contract, etc. One guy thinks that the deal is already done for 6 years and 225mm. The problem is structuring the deal and the legal issues with structuring it so that Boras keeps the lions share of the agents end of the deal. Basically the deal would be for 6 years with an opt out after the first year. No signing bonus and a salary for 37,500,000. for the first year and if he gives up the opt out then a roster bonus for a big amount and smaller annuals after that. The idea is to get Carlos the highest AAV deal for a non pitcher and over the 35.4 I think it was for Trout. Who knows maybe true maybe not but no one else seems to be flirting with the notion of signing him right now but us.
