Outside The Confines: Holiday shopping lists
It looks like it’s going to be one of those busy days today. I apologize for not saving the actual link, but I saw a list of the Top 20 shortstops from 2009 — 13 years ago. Elvis Andrus is the only one still active. And he was a 20-year-old rookie in 2009.
I know you know this already, but free agent shortstop Carlos Correa signed a 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants.
Dan Szymborski evaluates the Correa deal and what Correa might do in the year 2035. Or more generally, what they can expect out of Correa over the next 13 years.
Keith Law thinks there’s a good deal of risk, but he generally likes the signing for the Giants. (The Athletic sub. req.)
