    Good luck with that contract.

    congrats, I guess. I know cliffy will be happy.
    No doubt maybe 5/6 yrs will be ok… but they couldn’t let him walk
    it’s all funny money, anyway….millionaires working for billionaires….even if judge has some huge drop off, the yankees will survive.
    Correa now for the  Giants ?
    No, they have Luciano literally waiting to come up.
    😝

    Well now, what position are they moving Luciano too or is he on the trade block now?

    Just read up that they will move him to 3b or RF.

    I figured all along

    they mentioned him to 3B if Mets got him… lot of commitment here, 13yrs is nuts

    Really, you figured?  They have a potential star in the making w Luciano and can have him cheap for 5 years but rather go for Correa and spend big money?

    I was out on Correa when he couldn't stay on the field.  He's been healthy the last 2 years but didn't do squat in Minny.  Hope it works out for them but I am out on him.

    ^ he’s been linked to Giants all along

    they needed to make a splash

    They made a splash with the headlines but I don't see this contract being good after 5 or 6 years.  

    I thought everyone learned about these long contracts w Pujols and Arod?  I guess we have short term memory.  The whole landscape on deals was to change because of those two but that is over now, lol.

    If I was a GM I would not have spent that much on him for reasons stated earlier.

    It seems the approach is to have long contracts with lower AAV for luxury tax purposes and that teams have no expectation that they'll be performing at the end of them, whereas with Arod/Pujols, the expectation was that they'll be good.

    No, and I would still prefer that they had moved on from him, but it is outrageous regardless.

    I keep hearing that they keep him down for longer rc contract control.

    He SHOULD be though.

    There are rules to consider now about the "holding down" part.  I'm not up on them all but I believe if they perform to a certain level once up that the player gets time.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Has that changed since Kris Bryant was sent down in 2015?

    Yes they changed rules to encourage teams to bring up earlier and also to benefit the player if they are held down and the players perform at a high level.  If I see another article on it, I'll share.
    Takes too much time to keep up with all of the changes!

    TY I didn't know they had changed that rule so that's good.
