He made $5million this year. Couldn't be much more than that right?mathguy86 said:

I can't imagine the club will offer much more than that based on production and I suspect he will ask for $10-12MM. Those things are all production based and the club basically has to argue their player isn't worth it. In this case that should be easy.
Cleveland is 3 outs from being done. Down 8-2 B8.
Yankees are up over the Arlingtonians 5-2, T5

Cleveland is done. I wonder if Francona will come back. That team seems to be a mess. They play in an easy Division and are almost guaranteed 50 wins just off of KC, Det. and CWS.
Don't worry guys. I hear Correa's masseuse was heading to Anaheim this afternoon. Should be good by tomorrow.

You can double it or close to that.

This isn't on Francona. They knew they had a huge hole in the OF. The not only didn't go out and sign a stud, but they let Brantley walk.
Double his pay for playing 46% of the games due to injury? seems excessive.Farmer1906 said:bearkatag15 said:He made $5million this year. Couldn't be much more than that right?mathguy86 said:

I dint see it. I guess its a question of how hard a line the club wants to take.Farmer1906 said:bearkatag15 said:He made $5million this year. Couldn't be much more than that right?mathguy86 said:

Exactly
They dumped salary and traded their best pitcher.
They're awfully run and it shows.
I'll guess 8.75 M +/- 1 M
Bookmark it and we'll revisit in the offseason.
As mad as we are Correa he's a 25+ M a year player. So if he only plays half the year, he's worth more than he'll get.

He gave up the series-ending HR to Joe Carter in 1993 and never recovered. He had 43 saves in the regular season but fell apart in the post-season for the Phillies going 0-2 with an ERA of 20.Frok said:MuckRaker96 said:

That's random, isn't that the guy who would fall down after he threw the pitch?
The Astros needed a closer in 94 and traded Doug Jones and Jeff Juden for him.
Williams was a tire fire in Houston, he went 1-4 with 6 saves and a 7.65 ERA before the Astros cut him on May 31
Yeah. I agree with that. I guess what I should have said is I winder if Francona will want to come back. They are a mess of a club but they play in an easy Division so playoffs are in play.Farmer1906 said:mathguy86 said:

Crappy strike zone so far.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
that's why they say ground balls are outs in this league.

The "Wild Thing"
Yankees up 8-2, T6. I guess now that they guaranteed Minor his 200K they have n nothing left to play for.
Another ****ing double play.
I'm tired of seeing Fletcher.
Fletcher man... **** that guy
Jose 105.1 MPH EV, xBA .630, into a DP
Fletcher 73.3 MPH EV, xBA .340, single
Fletcher 73.3 MPH EV, xBA .340, single
Whew - Pujols still scares the heck out of me.

Latest On Carlos Correa
By Connor Byrne | September 27, 2019 at 9:18pm CDT
The Astros shut down shortstop Carlos Correa for the rest of the regular season because of a back issue on Thursday. The hope then was that Correa would return for the start of the playoffs next week. That could still happen, but it doesn't sound like a certainty at this point. Whether Correa will be ready for the American League Division Series will depend on how his back responds to workouts next week, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle writes.
"We're going to have to see him do a lot of stuff between now and next Friday," said general manager Jeff Luhnow, who noted it's "hard to tell" if Correa's back problems have worsened in the past week. Regardless, if the Astros aren't confident in Correa's health when the ALDS rolls around, they'll "most likely" leave him off their roster, according to Luhnow.
The spot currently ticketed for Correa may end up going to rookie third baseman Abraham Toro, per Rome. And third baseman/AL MVP candidate Alex Bregman would perhaps handle shortstop, something he has had to do far more often than the Astros were hoping for this season. Correa's regular season ended with just 75 games played on account of multiple injuries. The 25-year-old sat out from May 27 until July 26 with a fractured rib and then missed Aug. 20-Sept. 15 thanks to his back, which still won't seem to heal.
The fact that the Astros will ultimately go without Correa 87 times during the regular season and possibly still finish with the majors' best record is a testament to the overall strength of their roster. So, even if Correa's not available come playoff time, Houston still figures to enter the proceedings with as good a chance as anyone to take home a World Series title. Obviously, though, a healthy Correa would only enhance the Astros' odds of winning their second championship since 2017.
