espn + is the best thing to happen to hockey in a long time. its a god send to those of us who live out of market.
-
because the tigers could have waited and then signed him to a similar deal the twins got him for, in theory. the twins needed a ss too (although unlike us, they have prospects at the position), and instead of paying baez they bided their time and ended up with a much better player on a much more palatable deal. Al got turned down by correa (we believe) and then paid baez on a long term deal. Al has a long history of not reading the market (jd martinez trade, verlander trade, failing to deal boyd) so i'm putting my eggs in the "Al misread things again" basket.

come on bolts!

quite possibly. if so, its yet another failure to read the market by al avila. but we'll never really know what they offered correa and why he turned them down.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34098510/sources-dallas-mavericks-acquire-christian-wood-houston-rockets-26th-pick-nba-draft-4-players christian wood to the mavs for the #26 pick and salary filler. does that set a market for grant? houston just piling up draft picks. how long until were all surprised when we find out the pistons owe them a #1 pick for trevor ariza and isaiah stewart?

i'd be surprised if fetter gors back to the college ranks. he's got to be earning a pretty nice rep in the majors now. why go back to the whims of 18 year olds and traveling by bus to west lafayette and east lansing when you can fly to miami and new york? cmu's head coach seems like a better fit.
-
that's the thing, the twinkies got him on a perfecr deal and were stuck with baez's decline years for the next half decade. i can understand not wanting correa for 10 years, but for what the twins paid? its a no brainer.

alex cora got another managing job, so will aj hinch. baseball teams look at talent and success more than whether someone hit some trash cans. (because theyre all cheating....ask the yankees)
-
i would do that.
-
this. Illitch got wind of DD looking at other jobs and he fired him. loyalty to the family uber alles.
-
he was rumored to be the gm's choice but reinsdorf overruled him and hired larussa.
-
i'm scared larussa will die and hinch will get the sox job. lol, what am i saying? reinsdorf would still prop up tony and make him manager, weekend at bernie's style.

william clay ford wanted to win too. how many more years until Al "Russ Thomas" Avila gets canned?
-
why do you think he'll leave?
-
some folks on the board will always hate hinch because of the astros thing and will look to anything to fire him and claim he "cant control the clubhouse."
-
dude, you are old. lol. 😀
-
Ivey Mathurin Murray that's where i am. in reality, i'll be happy with any of the three and can see the arguments for each.

carlos correa: 307/376/460 javy baez: 188/232/288 just in case anyone wants to argue again that we got the better deal with javy...

what exactly did he lose here? my biggest problem with hinch waa his failure to convince correa to sign here.
-
i missed the beginning, but i see alex faedo turned back into alex faedo. well, with clemens on the mound that ought to be the lead story on the national news and not the actual game...
-
i thought he should have been fired after the jd martinez trade.

chris isnt a businessman. chris is the SON of a businessman. he's had everything in his life handed to him on a platter. he obviously knows little about running a baseball team. and the only thing he's ever done for his hockey team was have steve yzerman tell him he wanted to come home.
-
firing AJ and keeping avila would be a very chris illitch thing to do. actually, illitch will do nothing because that's the easiest and cheapest thing for him to do.
