It’s insane how much they’re stressing velocity stuff at even the youngest levels of travel ball. I know of a prominent 10u team that will pull you if you’re not at least at 50 mph on the mound.
But that’s why they like Correa...he’s young enough where he should be able to still be good when Davis and others are ready. Personally I think Correa will age poorly...and I just think he’s an asshole
Maybe the Sox don’t think the reports line up with how he mentally handles discomfort? This is a guy who said he was healthy the last few months of the season, yet his velocity disappeared.
Sox will still have a higher payroll. Correa to the Cubs as a strong possibility has been known for months. That organization has loved him for a decade.
If it’s true they’re talking to Soler, then my belief is they are absolutely involved with Castellanos. Also makes you wonder if Vaughn is getting traded.
That makes a lot of sense actually. They had been rumored for Castellanos before the lockout, but then one of their beat writers said that’s not likely.
