January 11, 20233 yr Also I know everyone keeps saying it hasn’t been an issue at the MLB level but technically it has and it happened so late in the season last year that we don’t really know the long term effect. But he hurt that leg sliding into second base about a week or two before the end of the season and had to lay on the ground because he said his leg was numb and vibrating from his ankle taking a direct hit with the second baseman’s shin. So 1.) we won’t know the extent to which that play knocked something “loose” in there. 2.) It proves that the leg is vulnerable and he is only one awkward slide, one hit by pitch, one cleat caught on the bag while rounding third, etc from a 13 year deal quickly becoming the worst contract ever signed (from a team perspective). So I fully understand the trepidation. Edited January 11, 20233 yr by marlinsmaniac

Glad he’s going back to a team we pretty much don’t play lol From MLBTR: If the deal is finalized, Correa will receive an $8MM signing bonus (paid out between 2023 and 2024) and annual salaries of $36MM in 2023-25, $31.5MM in 2026, $30.5MM in 2027 and $30MM in 2028. The vesting options are valued at $25MM (2029), $20MM (2030), $15MM (2031) and $10MM (2032). Correa would vest his 2029 option by reaching 575 plate appearances the previous season; that number drops to 550 in 2029 (in order to vest his 2030 option), 525 in 2030 (to vest his 2031 option) and 502 in 2031 (to vest his 2032 option). The Twins can still choose to pick up any of the options if Correa doesn’t meet the prior year’s vesting threshold. --- Don't all teams play each other the same amount now?

We play every team for at least one series per year but we play our own division rivals more still - I want to say division rivals still get four series a year so two home and two away series.

That makes sense. I wasn't sure, just remembered there was a change of some sort to where everyone plays everyone now somehow.
