All free agent deals are likely to be dumb.  Obviously some are easier to swallow than others.

As I have said, I would offer him 8/280 with 180 in the first 4 years and an opt out after that.  My hope would be he takes the opt out and you let him walk.

I’m one of the few that likes the opt out.

This would be smarter than offering him 10/350 thats for sure. His agent is Boras though and he already rejected a 10/275 offer from Detroit. But Id also much rather give him 8 years than 10.

Well, at least we can move on back to reality as Orioles fans.  Now we get to watch Jorge Lopez get stretched out by the team as they try him as a potential starter once again.  However, if

The idea of a Mountcastle, Westburg, Correa, Henderson, Rutschman infield with Mayo, Cowser and Kjerstad in the outfield has a certain appeal.

The question that I think Elias is weighing is  "Do the O's need Correa to win the World Series?"   This means projecting if Gunnar, Westburg, Ortiz and Mateo are enough  at SS for the O's  to  raise to the top to the standings.

This, of course, only impacts the O's thinking.  Correa's objective and choice are a different story.

I’m okay with opt outs so long as the team never bites on an extension to avoid having the player opt out.   That always ends in disaster.

Fwiw, I don’t think this offer would work but 45M a year for 4, back end security on the deal and the ability to opt out at a young enough age where he could still get a good contract could potentially be intriguing.  It’s also a big AAV.

Its intriguing because it's potentially fair value if he's a 5WAR player.  However, I'd want him around through the turn, for years 6-8 even if his WAR declines some.

Question is though, contrary to your thought, there's actually more value on a team in the 0-2WAR players in FA.

The idea of paying 10-15M for a 1-2 WAR player because “they are worth it” is absurd to me.  You should be getting 1-2 WAR players easily and cheaply.

I honestly believe he would throw almost unlimited money at him and that’s been his plan all along because he can’t quit the passion Houston provides lol. Seriously, he passed on a real good SS prospect last year which seems like a head scratcher so perhaps this is the guy he’s willing to kick it off. But gotta have better SP so look for rumors there.

Do you guys think that a Correa signing would be enough to attract solid Veteran pitching a guy like Grienke who before might not want to come here to help leap lead a young pitching staff? 

No..and I have zero idea why anyone would want Grienke.

I don't think you understand what WAR means, or how free agency works? For the record in free agency its looking like a 1-2 WAR players will get around 6-7m/WAR. Last year in a down market it was 5.5

Lol.  Nah, I understand it perfectly.  You just aren’t getting what I’m saying.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
