  • He lost $350M in total negotiations and $85M from the Twins. 7 years got lopped off his contract. The physical maybe mostly complete, but something is still clearly wrong.

    I'm not sure I fully understand the logic behind "wow, the Twins are lucky Correa's medical risk profile turned out to be serious enough to scare multiple other teams away".  I guess time will tell.

    Ouch. This is a kick to the nuts for the Sox.  Sox rebuild never stood a chance if JR wasn't going to pony up for any big time FA.

Funny thing is that Mets rotation is far from great, and scherzer and Verlander taking big steps back at their age wouldn't be surprising at all.

Fairly certain the Mets don’t view excess as a problem.

Wouldn’t that be nice. 

That happened way too fast.  Like they were expecting it to happen fast.

Who do the Mets shed, and how do we get in on it?  I have little interest in EE, but if they want to trade prospects for Hendriks I’m definitely intrigued.

Yeah I look at their roster and it looks pretty flawed for what they have spent.

exactly.

Thats why I don't think they'd throw away projects for savings, they may very well need them in season to acquire.

Makes no sense that the best defensive ss in the game is moving to 3rd base. That zaps a decent amount of correa value. 

This Mets team is going to be a disaster imo.

It worked on the other side of town a decade ago

Cohen is worth $17 billion. I was reading up on him. If he loses $200 million a year the next 10 years, it doesn't matter to him. If JR risks losing $100k, he freaks out.

Wowwwwww

Yup and Lindor is no slotch at SS either compared to Jeter.

he's also doing this in a year he's probably lost a pretty big chunk of his worth.

There is probably no more fun way to spend money. He figured that out.

What was the issue with the failed physical with the Giants?  Wouldn't there be a concern that he'd fail a physical for the Mets?

The Mets don't care.  The same way they don't care if he's only a 4 win 3B instead of a 5 win SS.  They simply don't care.  

Scherzer has an opt out for 2024 and so does Verlander... (or they could both retire after this season, who knows) so this is all in for the Mets in 2023. That's why I can see them asking about Hendriks again as well as other guys. They want a championship.

I think he’s their 2B. Escobar will be the guy moved I think.

Yea. I commented before Heyman said Correa will be moved to 3B.

Holy s%*# Cohen. Mets gotta be paying $500 million for the team this year now right? After all the luxury taxes?

They are banking a ton on 38 and 39 year old SP's. Sounds crazy coming from a Sox fan, but if I'm a Mets fan I would have much rather them sign Rodon and another good bat than go all in on Correra

Lol…that’s five contracts that would be franchise records for us.

Scherzer was also pretty awful at the end of last season. I know he had an injury, but that's usually what happens to guys nearing 40...they get hurt more often.

Not sure I'd say it worked. Correa is nowhere near the offensive player a rod was and the Yankees were worse defensively because of it. A lot of Correa's value is tied to the fact that he's the best defensive SS in baseball. Moving him off that position brings down his ceiling big time.

WHen you've stolen your fortune, it might be easier to lose some of it. Cohen as big of a crook as anyone who has ever worked on Wall Street.

The real winner in this is Paul Giamatti, who's gonna get the weirdest sequel to a TV series ever.

I'm sure their 2009 championship would say otherwise.

So you're saying the Yankees don't win a title if A-Rod is at short and Jeter at 2nd or 3rd? Trying to figure out what you're debating.

A-Rod was the best offensive player in baseball arguably. Correa is no where near that.
