You're welcome.Thanks for a top 10 prospect in all of baseball for 2 months of Javier Baez where you didn’t even make the postseason
That a luthtunsa heist
.I truly do not care.
Even with Miggy, they're 20th in payroll; well behind Chicago and Minnesota. Chris is just a cheap fukk.
I hope Keith pans out once they call him up. I'm excited about him but they still need to bring in some more professional hitters. Yankees fans want to run Torres out of town and I'd take him in Detroit in a heartbeat.
As much as I hate Baez, I'll say this: he seems to play to the level of his team. When the Cubs were good, he generally played well. He was trash in 2021, they traded him to New York and he came alive again. If the Tigers as a whole get competitive again, I wouldn't be surprised if he picked up his level of play. And that's not to excuse him for being trash because he's a major reason they suck now.

He had a pretty bad strikeout to end the game the other day too.can’t even defend him anymore
I remember the trade like it was yesterday and the funny part about it is I remember PCA saying,after he was drafted, that one of his favorite players was Javy Baez. Destined to be a Cub.

We're stuck with Baez. Ain't nobody trading for him and that contract.
@Regular_P the rebuild is gonna take another 3 years. We can't wait for Baez to turn it on. He's 30 and should be leading the way. If he gave us 15 HR we might be a game back in this crappy division instead of 9 games.
I also forgot about Vierling. We gotta keep him cuz he just plays hard every day and can play anywhere on defense.
Miggy at 40 can still hit. He batting over 300 since mid July. Imma miss this guy

Telling a 15 year old about Deion and Bo would be describing aliens.
Lol. Cheers to those brothers for their greatness.

How much would a no hitter this year add to the contract, and at what point can we say, he's having the greatest single season in MLB history?

Carlos Correa's production is a bit difficult to explain.
He still makes hard contact. He doesn't exactly drive the ball into the ground -- not like Christian Yelich anyway, who is having a much better season.
I'm not even sure you can blame the foot injury on his season since he could have sat out for a few weeks but decided to play through it.
He does chase a fair amount of balls out of the zone, but not at an egregious rate.
He is posting the lowest BABIP of his career, but it's .270. That's not too far off from league average.
He really should still be an .800+ OPS player. But hey, if Minnesota doesn't want him, the Yankees would have glad to have him as a 3B.
