bees x1000 posted:That's a reasonable take but I'm still mad. The writing was on the wall at the trade deadline, if they were planning on punting 2023 they should've traded Ohtani. Better for Ohtani's legacy, the organization's future and the sport in general. Maybe they're hoping their team will get healthy in 2023 and compete. And if it doesn't they can still trade Ohtani.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:Looking at a list of free agents, there are pretty slim pickings in the 1B and 3B positions, where the Cubs need the most help. Arenado isn't going to opt out of his contract, but it seems likely Rizzo will. Yankees might slap a QO on him in response. Man that shortstop class is ridiculous

KICK BAMA KICK posted:It is backloaded for some reason with like $20m per the last three seasons... That's pretty normal. Yeah they're buying out his rookie and arb years but they still usually scale them up in a similar manner. Also this isn't the nfl so unless there are team options anywhere in there (and I cannot imagine any player would agree to this kind of contract if there were) all those years are fully guaranteed.

Paracaidas posted:Given the obviously, fatally flawed team, Maeda's return next season, the series of pitchers with multiple years of control they picked up... They were still in contention at the deadline and made moves reflecting that, moving Correa would have been dumb. If they hadn't added three pitchers then yeah, I was on the same mindset as you are, but they absolutely made win now moves that just happened not to work for various reasons.

Paracaidas posted:And I'd be in the same mindset as you, except the two meaningful pitchers both had multiple years of control, as did Gray and Paddack in the spring. Fullmer and Leon were the rentals and nothing of note was given up for them. Moving Correa for nearterm help wouldn't have gone totally against the grain. I dunno man I think you're just heavily jaded by hindsight in this one

Kirios posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Twins right there in the AL Central division race (if not leading it) by the time the deadline came around? Hindsight and all, but they would have been blasted if they traded away their best player. Yes. I don't know what Paracidias' point is in that last post. I was saying the same stuff then too.

Milovan Drecun posted:In defense of Paracaidas, the trade Correa crowd was alive and well back in July. It was, and still is, a stupid notion imo though. The Twins FO were even asked about it and were basically like 'why the gently caress would we trade him!?!?' The "Trade Correa" logic was based on them not getting enough pitching at the deadline because even the optimists among us didn't think they would go out and get as much pitching as we thought we needed. But then they did so it was like "oh drat, cool, glad we kept him then." And then...well we all know the rest

Milovan Drecun posted:That makes sense, but it's a bit of a misread of this FO. They've generally been active at the deadline, in the right direction. They even pivoted mid trade deadline in 2018(?) when a week of poor play basically killed their chances. I think the notion they weren't going to trade for pitching was entirely fan fatigue/doom and gloom, not an honest assessment of how they operate. In my case it was more just not thinking they had the ammo in their farm to beat out the other teams, not that they wouldn't try. I'm sure other people felt the same way.

I know teams with poo poo attendance tend to be much stricter with it so people can't buy cheap seats and then "upgrade" to better ones once they see how empty the stadium is Also count me in on the "I very much want an actual physical thing" train for memorabilia.
