Correa changed his mind and is now going to the Mets. correa back to the twins. interesting the twins do not seem too concerned with correa's knee but the giants and mets both think he's damaged goods. The Twins are getting him at a discount, though. 6 years/$200M compared to initial 13 years/ $350M offer from Giants, 12 years/$300M from Mets (IIRC). If he can stay healthy, it’s a good deal for the Twins, relatively speaking. I wonder if Boras allegedly taking a hardline stance with the Giants ended up costing Correa money.

Yeah - $150M less guarantee and just 6 years is a lot of money lost and probably not as big of a risk to the Twins. Still - if he is really damaged goods, then...

And of course, the perennial ?- is it really a HOF or just moral grandstanding that Bonds, Clemens, McGwire and A-Rod are not in the HOF?

Scott Rolen? I mean...I guess? Who? I really never paid a lot of attention to the National League.

Scott Rolen? I mean...I guess? Rolen's 70.1 career WAR is quite good. That's 103rd all time among all players, 69th among position players and ninth among third basemen. Eight gold gloves, career 122 OPS+. It's pretty wild that he got just 10.2% of the vote on his first ballot and is now in on his sixth, but I think he's a deserving Hall of Famer.

Scott Rolen is a no doubt HOF player - congrats to him. He isn't inner circle all time great, but absolutely worthy of being in the Hall.

Opening Day 2023 is just about here....
Unfortunately I think we are going to have another Braves-Astros World Series. We just have to get used to this same old broken record.

is this just a mlb baseball thread or is college ball discussion allowed on here? Whatever suits you. How is your team doing? This year the Washington Huskies are 17-6 and just beat a pretty solid Portland Pilots (16-8) squad. The Pilots won two of three at then fifth ranked TExas A&M in February.
