Third time's the charm! Correa to the Twins (6/$200m)
Derwood replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So, is this deal still valid? -
Sexy, and with no talent around him. Imagine what his numbers would look like if he were on a team like Philly, or basically any other team with NFL talent. Our imagination is all we have, as this dumb team will never get him Philly-level talent

Nah, the 100 Million he's giving them in luxury tax payments will buy him plenty of goodwill 1/29th of $100 million isn't enough to offset Cohen exposing their grift -

He just became the least popular owner at the next owner's meetings -

Cohen is paying everyone in Crypto, so the actual value of the payroll will be $27 million by 2025 -

That's true. That's also true in Alabama, Clemson, etc.

Yea I was admittedly surprised as I looked up thr overtime rules and found out wasn't a golden goal situation. Sounds like they did it for a while before abandoning again. Is there some purist arguement against it? Golden goal makes for terrible soccer in most cases because teams play so conservatively for the fear of that one slip up. In theory that should be better with the current extra time rules, but often it's similar and teams are just waiting for PKs, which aren't great but save us from endless bad and static play. Player health/conditioning becomes a concern at a certain point too. My favorite variant on this is playing golden goal, but every few minutes(let's say 5) both teams take a player off the field. So by the end of the normal 30 minutes of extra time you're playing 6 v 6 which makes basically every possession a transition moment because of how much space is everywhere at all times. It also encourages teams to go for goal when they're closer to full strength before the chaos of being short handed sets in. Yeah, I was curious if this would work. The 3v3 OT in hockey is a fun way to open up the ice and allow more scoring opportunities. Is the soccer field just SO big that reducing the players becomes ridiculous?

giving up 150 in regulation is a fancy trick

Denver won, thank you very much

Make that 2 TD

A-whoopsy

It's sad that if/when the US ever wins the World Cup that the collective reaction will be 5% of the excitement of literally any other country.

That was Madden easy mode running. Holy horsefeathers

Suh slaps Fields in the head, no call

lol

Crazy that the goalie could even make an effort on the second save, what with taking the first shot squarely between the eyes
-
He's an absolute hole in the lineup offensively His career high in wRC+ is 90 (2017)

Gomes and Barnhart have been worth 4.5 fWAR combined over the past 3 seasons

These last five minutes....

wow wow wow

Just saying that Heyward was coming off of three straight high fWAR years before signing with the Cubs, when he then immediately turned into a pumpkin. Correa has already had some back problems, so he's a gamble. None of us know how any of this will turn out, though, so we're all just arguing to argue. wait, you were comparing correa to heyward? that's even weirder I'm comparing two players signing huge contracts, that's all
