Mets jumped into Correa sweepstakes a little too late. If Correa were available for them to sign, they would need to free up some money.

bmags Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Jeff Mcneil doesn't make very much thou. MLB Trade rumors estimates 6.3MM. Definitely less than the 10MM escobar makes. You know what's more likely all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if the Correa to Giants thing falls through, the Sox sign Correa, and then they trade TA for a massive haul. It’s fun to dream.

Mcneil would be pretty far down the list for them unless we consume mccann for the pleasure. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1 hour ago, EloyJenkins said: as they should be. for how much Sox fans want to complain about this off-season...theirs is absolutely comically bad. What's so bad about it? Relatively inactive, sure, but Vazquez is a nice fit for them and Gallo has been very comparable to Benintendi (slightly better than Beni overall, but worse lately) on a holistic (WAR) basis throughout his career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised the Sox acquired him, but what was surprising is that they didn't when Boston made him available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
