Basically if you’ve ever started a major league game as a pitcher and you are a free agent you are getting $8 million in free agency in 2022.  

That's kind of like the housing market in SoCal right now. If your home comes with windows and doors you can sell it for a guaranteed $500K.

They raised the floor!

Doubt the Angels are even a mystery team for Story. When they sign someone, there doesn’t tend to be any of this “deciding soon” stuff in hours before.

It just happens. Fits Correa more than Story (not that I’m expecting that either)

I'm 99.9% sure you're right in this case, but when the Angels signed Rendon, how long had they been connected to him as a potential team? I don't remember.

who closing for the Dogs? they are adding all these starters, and position players yet no closer.

Yikes.

If Trevor Story signs with Red Sox and reports Xander Bogaerts opting out of his contract after this year could he be traded for?

[rafibomb]

A rumor account that's been leaking Rangers news correctly before it's official turned out to be the Rangers' hitting coach's son lmao the account is now deleted

 

The last thing he tweeted before deleting the account was the Rangers are seriously in on Trevor Story (Texas native) on potentially a short-term deal. 

[Stradling]

 

This seems to indicate that Correa is not signing with Houston. 

[Stradling]

There’s virtually no rumors about where Correa will end up.  Do any of you know of a team that keeps things private until they announce the signing?

So far this offseason it's definitely been the Braves. **It's also been us in the past**

The Giants and Dodgers

Didn't the rangers get Semien and Corey Seager? Are they just going to put shortstops at every position?

[bloodbrother]

Looking forward to seeing tomorrow that Correa is signing with the Yankees and Trevor Story is signing with the Red Sox

Either moving Seager to 3rd or putting Story in center field apparently

The level of stupid makes me irrationally angry. 

 

And I hate the rangers. It's so dumb.

Baltimore has been one of the main rumored destinations. I think I read they have a 300m offer on the table.

 

Which makes little sense imo.
