    Get ready for the batting champion to be traded for the pitching everyone is (rightfully) screaming for.

      I don't think Arraez is bringing back the pitching we actually need. Even if we package Kepler and someone else, I don't see us getting #1/2 type guy back. Unless we are going to give up prospects.

        Thank you, oh thank you.

        And I hope he is great for you. But that was just too much risk and Hawaii Steve Cohen has hopefully learned a lesson.

          • So he shorter deals somehow makes him able to pass the physical now? Yeah that doesn't sound fishy at all...

              I don't think it's so much pass/fail as quantify risk/build risk mitigation.

                Doesn't make it better IMO.

                  He didn’t fail a physical. The results gave the Giants and Mets concerns about such a long term contract, and tried to renegotiate.

                  Now, did the Giants and Mets offer something similar to what Twins offered and he figured he may as well come back, or did they drop to something lower, such as three or four year deals or something with a lower AAV? I’d be interested in knowing that. Not sure if we will.

                    It does if there's an out clause.

                      I would think all sides would have an interest in keeping that sealed.

                        None have been reported to be in there so far.

                        And the long term viability of the ankle only matters on 10+ year deals? I'm sorry...this whole thing just seems silly.

                          The Twins* fan in me feels like I know the answer anyway.

                            • Anyone who would sign Correa without a club opt out is dangerously stupid or insane. I am just happy to see the Mets are, in this instance, neither.
