I seen twitter rumblings of a Carlos Correa for Luis Castillo trade. But let’s see if that has legs

not going to happen. going to have to give up more than just correa.

They do not overpay for anything. There is no such thing.

Exactly. People too caught up in listening to these rich billionaires sayin "money's tight". All owners try that bull**** and people gobble it up.

These owners are laughing at us. But we go over that every year.

My local team the Twins were gifted $350 million from, at the time, a cash-strapped Minneapolis to help build their new ballpark.

Forbes then valued them at:

2009: $356 million
2014: $605 million
2019: $1.2 billion

It's a non stop freight train, even in the cold Midwest. The owners own Mona Lisas. And all we ever get to hear here is the Twins ownership talk about "budget constraints," and making salaries work while worrying about the books that particular year - like there is a salary cap. So the Twin franchise lets 99% of players leave, they never sign a single big time FA (even when playoff window is open), and will never make a move at the trade deadline for a player who still needs to be paid. Hey, it's their money. Not my place to tell anyone what to do. But this is a shell game these owners have perfected to make it look like only the YANKEES and a couple other teams can afford to really go after anybody whose services reflect major compensation.

Wow, so different

Wacha to the Mets
Another CAA client

The facial hair thing is so dumb

 

[a-friend]

For Cole, great deal.
If it was Verlander, not so much.

Cole can make it in that Stadium, Verlander would give up a New HR High.

The facial hair thing is so dumb

I wonder how much longer til a player decides to challenge them on that. It's gotta happen eventually.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I like the Wacha signing as a depth move but making a push for Ryu would’ve been nice

 

[llerraj]

Wild the number of elite talent in baseball that's rumored to be on the trading block. MLB is broken.

 

[Hahahaha]

That swoosh, makes me ****in sick

 

[llerraj]

That swoosh, makes me ****in sick

It would have been Under Armour if they didn't back out of the deal.

 

[Hahahaha]

It would have been Under Armour if they didn't back out of the deal.

The placement, put that **** on the sleeves and make it small. Reminds me of NCAA.
