It makes some sense because of Elias and Sig were here when he got drafted and left for Baltimore a couple years later.

Lol if Correa leaves for the orioles I’ll know it’s only about the money and I can’t be mad at that

Word. If he goes there, best to him. After what he’s been apart of in his career he’s gonna be miserable as fukk losing that much but at least he gettin that money. Can’t fault that
Nobody can tell me this bozo isn't the worst GM in baseball. Why the fukk would he be going after a 38 year old pitcher?
No payroll restrictions yet there was a restriction when it came to Correa.
Grineke was a beast in MVP Baseball 05 when I used to play that game endlessly.

Orioles have the #1-4 farm in mlb(mlb pipeline,ba,bp) with the best catcher(rutschman) & one of the best pitchers(rodriguez) they’re a few trades/fa’s away from being good

Castellanos to Philly makes too much sense. You can move Schwarber to DH as he's not good enough to play the corner OF spots. Give me someone ready now and I'll let you have my first round pick.

can't say Correa "all about the money" if nobody offers close to what the O's are.. if the difference is $360M vs. $300M only a fool would go with the lesser deal..

Justin Lange is a 20 year old righty.
6'4 220 lbs
In 22 innings of rookie ball last season, he allowed 18 hits and struck out 29 batters.
He was the Padres 1st round pick in 2020 (34th overall).
It's not like the Yankees aren't getting a high upside player here. The potential is big.
Justin Lange 2020 MLB Draft Profile - Last Word On Baseball
If Justin Lange can throw his slider more consistently and develop his changeup, he and Cleveland Indian Mike Clevinger share similarities. Both men stand six-feet, four-inches tall at similar weights. Clevinger does throw a curveball as his third pitch with the changeup fourth. Regardless, he utilizes a fastball over 51% of the time and complements with his slider, averaging 95.4 MPH and 80.7 MPH, respectively. Lange throws a harder slider, but their fastball velocities match up.
If he does not develop his secondary pitches, Trevor May of the Minnesota Twins is a good comp. May is a little bigger, but he throws his fastball 61% of the time, averaging 95.5 MPH with an 83.9 MPH slider as his second pitch.
Justin Lange has a high ceiling, but he will be a work in progress for the team that drafts him.

I'd feel good about this trade if the Yankees weren't clueless when it comes to developing young pitchers into starters.
With them the best you can hope for is him being solid bullpen piece.
You're right.
The track record is pretty bad.
In the last 30 years they've really only brought up Rivera and Pettitte as pitchers who came up through their system and did well -- I mean to the point that you'd say the Yankees developed a core part of their pitching staff.
Phil Hughes started off promising but got hurt.
Joba was probably not AS GREAT as it seemed at first. But in my opinion he was managed horribly. And there have been others.
But I don't think the Yankees have to be prisoners of their past. They can develop their talent. It'll take patience and intelligence though. For so long they've stocked their rotation in the FA market and while it has worked out a lot, it's failed a lot too.
