The Mets have signed Eduardo Escobar meaning they're probably out on Baez leaving the Tigers and Sox as most likely to sign him? Yeah they're out on Baez most likely. Hope the Tigers sign Baez and eliminates a possibility for Correa.

I'd imagine Eduardo Escobar wouldn't preclude the Mets from signing Baez but we'll see. Also I wouldn't have hated Escobar for 2 years 20 million on the sox.

In a vacuum yeah, but the Mets also just signed Canha for 2/26.5 and Marte for 4/78 in addition to Escobar, and they are apparently aiming for a FA starting pitcher as well in the Scherzer / Gausman / Ray tier. This is the year after signing Lindor to that mega deal. Spotrac has them a smidge over the luxury tax threshold for 2022 before Marte. Maybe Cohen just goes off and rocks a $300 million payroll in 2022, or maybe they trade some players to lower the payroll in other ways, but I'm just not seeing Baez at this point.

I agree - the signing doesn't -preclude- them from signing Baez but it does make it way more complicated.

Hoping the Mets sign Baez for two reasons I don’t want the Sox to get him and secondly maybe we can get Jeff McNeil if they sign Baez

Only problem is his injury history but I'd LOVE to have him bat 1st or 9th if I was running a team, maybe the Mets would trade him but idk. McNeil is also a solid player but he kept trying to hit for power last year for some reason and developed a long swing, I watch a lot of Mets telecasts and Keith Hernandez would always break down the issues with his swing. Mets had so many guys underperform last year it's actually mind boggling.

Texas got their short stop in Semien. Check off one other team off the list for Correa.

What? Semien has been better than Bogaerts so that means Bogaerts will get a bigger contract? I get the point about Bogaerts being younger, but this tweet makes no sense.

There is ZERO CHANCE Baez signs for a smaller AAV than Semien, despite everyone I'm aware of projecting that Baez would sign for a smaller AAV than Semien (and everyone projecting less than Semien's actual AAV as well)? Zero chance of the same for Story, despite his receiving similar or lower projections as well?

The only team I see possibly awarding Baez a bigger contract than Semien would be the Mets as a public relations ploy for Cohen. Unless you are talking a 10-year deal for a similar total value. I don't see a higher AAV for Baez unless it were for a shorter duration contract. Baez may be better off signing a 1-year with a mutual option of a 4-year or less with a second and third year opt out if he wants a higher AAV than Semien just signed for.

I read it as two separate thoughts. 1 being that Semien has been better and 2 being that Xander has weak competition and is younger. I don't think it was meant to be 1 implies 2 although that's how I first read it as well. I still want to look it as 25M will be a ceiling given he's not been as good as Semien, but I think the point is the lack of competition next year could make teams bid up over 25M.

Talking about Baez, I may add that his upside play probably would earn a higher AAV but his two-year volatility has diminished his probable ceiling in contract in the near term,

Semien has been better than Bogaerts But there are more gigantic SS contracts to come These guys are all getting at least age 37 deals now Next year is Bogaerts, Turner, Judge, and that's it I have little doubt Bogey reaches 8/200 at minimum with a pretty good Semien comp

Rangers might prefer Seagar to Story. Don't blame them.

Zero chance of the same for Story, despite his receiving similar or lower projections as well? The $25m AAV FOR Semien is not surprising, it’s the length of the deal. I don’t think there was any one that predicted a seven year pact. With both Baez and Story being two years younger, I don’t see any reason for either of them to take both less money and years. We’ll see.

It is funny to see Texas getting Seager when he was seemingly a good fit for the Yankees and now they're looking at Simmons.
