That’s not a terrible AAV for Correa, even if the years are insane.
 

Gotta wonder if he’ll even play out the 13 years. He would be 41. I wonder the same with Turner. Maybe they assume at worst it’ll be a negotiated buyout when they’re ready to retire. 

Carlos Correa trying to beat out an infield hit in year 13.

Funny, I play softball on Sundays with a bunch of neighborhood guys.  One of the faster guys out there is also by far the oldest.  He’s 78!   Former 100-yard dash HS state champ in Connecticut, circa 1962.   Rarely hits the ball out of the infield, but still reaches base about half the time.

Saw the observation basically everyone in the Hall of Very Good and up group is getting paid to 40.

When a high school kid like Correa clears the minors in 24 months as Jackson Holliday aspires to, it can keep on playing all the way through you beating Trea Turner on years 13-11.

Seeing $9mm as the Kiermaier price point was new to me just now on the MLB crawl.

All these teams are making big FA deals. What big deal do we make? We're trying to sign Rich Hill. 42-year-old Rich Hill. I fall for it every year. Maybe we can sign Willie Mays. He's only in his 90's.

Swanson to the Cubs, apparently.  https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35273170/sources-cubs-shortstop-dansby-swanson-agree-deal

I believe at least by Fangraphs list this makes Mr. Nathan Eovaldi the A1A "Best Available" ballplayer to one of the Clubs for $$$ (and a draft pick).

JD Martinez to the Dodgers on a one year deal.

He’s going from a home park that’s a bandbox to a team and a division that’s mostly big pitchers parks. I predict Mr. Martinez will struggle as a Dodger, and could very well be unemployed by August.

Even is he loses power (like last season) he should still hit for average, which means he basically replaces Justin Turner's bat. That's really all they need from him so it's a pretty low bar.
