Correa (Update, signs with Twins)

QUESTION MARK
Perhaps the biggest knock against Correa is his inconsistent offensive production on a year-to-year basis. After recording a .349 wOBA or higher in each of his first three seasons, Correa has finished at .313, .380, .309 and .364, respectively in the past four years (MLB average was .314 in 2021), though it’s fair to note that one of his “down” years was the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

It's funny because the guy right next to him on that list, Francisco Lindor, has the exact same type of deal Correa desires (10 years, $350ish million) and it looks like a massive mistake on the Mets part.

That article is all over the place...

2020 was a wacky year for everyone.  Players "broke out" then tanked in 2021.  Players bombed then rebounded in 2021.  Games were missed, rescheduled, cardboard fans...  Just a mess all around.  It's hard to take 2020 data seriously.

O's in the "No, Won't Be Here" category. 

One of 5 least likely teams, per this article.

Seems kind of lazy to rank the Yankees at #3 most likely landing spot after they already added Donaldson, Kiner-Falefa, and Rizzo to their infield with Torres, LeMahieu, and (maybe) Voit, and with extension talks with Judge looming.

It’s the kind of deal the Mets can afford to lose on at the end. We don’t have that luxury.

Exactly what I was getting at, these mega-contracts rarely ever work out and our margin for error is a lot smaller than theirs.

My concern with Correa would be his health and not worrying about his 2020 season, which amounts to a small sample size statistically.

What's all this talk about Correa?

 

We tried a player from there already. Didn't work out.

 

I don't think Buck liked him.

I don't believe it, frankly.

A contract extension for Adley doesn't even really make any sense.

If you can lock him up for a discount, it makes pretty good sense to me.

I mean you can pay the league minimum the next four years.  How much of a discount is really there?

Like I said, one of the reasons he may not have accepted the offer (if it was offered) was a lack of opt out.  It makes sense that he wants one and will get one.

If you think he'll worth keeping long term, you amortize the league min control years into a discounted four years after that.

Sign him for 8, at a substantial discount.

If he wants to live the good life now and offset his risk... he'll take it. Some players do, as we've learned recently.

And of course the risk to the O's, is that he'd get hurt.

All in all. probably a risk worth taking

This guy is pretty dug in on this. He has some very specific information. He’s either gonna look brilliant or will be forgotten.
