No less than the Twins are literally on this one.

Not making an attempt to nitpick your remark in any respect by highlighting your closing comment, as a result of I 100% agree.  Nonetheless, in some ways, I’d somewhat they be out on him in the event that they lose him as a result of I simply do not wish to be crushed once more.  This signing to me is about a lot greater than the participant.  It’s Kirby Puckett in 1992 another time.  If that comparability appears off, let me clarify.  

Puckett was being courted by the Phillies and Purple Sox within the offseason of 1991-92.  And whereas I do not count on Correa to signal for a hometown low cost when he is solely been right here for one season, I like the concept that the Twins will compete on this market once they completely must — and maintain their very own.  As a result of all we have been spoon fed since that low season is that the Twins can’t compete with the massive market groups.  And whereas that could be true, I wish to suppose that baseball just isn’t so damaged that the very best gamers will at all times signal elsewhere (even when THAT is true). 

I cherished Johan Santana in his prime.  I hated at all times listening to that he was the subsequent Yankees ace.  So to me, this signing can be greater than Correa – who, admittedly I’m additionally very excessive on.
