Official official offseason thread

The only thing that has me wondering about Correa is that we simply aren’t hearing ANYTHING about him. Long shot but I think he was always the most likely one that AA would entertain signing long term

This was my fear when Arcia was acquired, and I've stated as much over and over. While I think Swanson's money went to Morton rather than Olson, the end result is the same. Even with Arcia at SS and Rosario/Ozuna in LF, this still projects as a ~93 win team.

Maybe having to suffer through Rosario/Ozuna in LF will finally make fans wake up to the peril of unnecessary long term deals, and to finally stop saying "it isn't my money" when teams sign misguided contracts. Giving Ozuna and Rosario those terrible deals is precisely why we are stuck watching them be terrible in LF, and is why we should care when dumb contracts like that are handed out.

I meant Morton. Not sure why I typed Olson. Just seems obvious with the team announcing the deal right before FA. They likely exhausted all efforts with Swanson and realized they weren't going to get a deal done. And if Swanson was too expensive then so are the rest of the top tier SS's.

I assumed that when Arcia was required we were moving on from Dansby, and I thought the same when Riley was extended. I think that’s when Dansby was approached.

Either way we’ve known Dansby was gone to the highest bidder.

It’s not that he’s to expensive it’s that AA doesn’t think he will live up to the contract. He said they’ll go over the tax for the right deal. He obviously doesn’t think Dansby is the right deal.
