Why do the Carlos Correa rumors all the time come out late at night time? What sort of hours does Scott Boras preserve? I assume while you’re him you in all probability sleep fairly late. Or is he like Rob Lowe’s character in “Thank You For Smoking,” the place he solely sleeps on Sundays?
It’s eyebrow-raising that within the midst of everybody agog at Georgia’s fustigation of TCU within the nationwide championship recreation that reviews appeared to inform us that the Minnesota Twins and Correa have talks which can be accelerating. This might make it the very first thing about your complete Correa saga that has ever accelerated. Final night time it was Ken Rosenthal, which got here a couple of days after Jon Heyman emerged from the whack-a-mole the place he resides to do the identical.
That is whereas there’s been no assertion from Correa or the New York Mets or anybody near them that the deal between these two events is formally off. Smells a bit of like somebody, perhaps that man who apparently by no means sleeps, attempting to push the Mets into one thing, doesn’t it? Not that Boras has ever used Heyman like a pill-cutter earlier than or something.
This might be the one leverage that Boras and Correa would have over the Mets in no matter dispute/argument/distinction of opinion/fish-slapping recreation they’re taking part in over Correa’s bodily. After this a lot time, it’s clear the Mets wish to alter the deal, very similar to the Giants would have if given the prospect earlier than the Mets swung in on a chandelier to provide him extra money.
However what now? Are the Twins providing the identical long-term deal? Are they not even going to do a bodily, utilizing the extremely technical medical process of protecting up the dangerous spot of the X-rays or MRIs with their thumb and thus seeing a wonderfully wholesome limb? Or maybe they suppose the frigid Minneapolis Aprils and Mays will protect it longer.

It’s arduous to suppose that the Twins’ medical group wouldn’t discover the identical issues that the Giants and Mets have. But when Correa have been resigning himself to a shorter-term deal that groups are extra comfy betting his leg received’t flip to moist cardboard throughout, shouldn’t there be extra groups than the Twins concerned? Whereas the remainder of the shortstop market has settled, it’s not like Boras couldn’t discover extra groups to attach Correa too. The Dodgers are nonetheless claiming they’ll begin Gavin Lux all yr. The Mariners may discover the money, and also will have a emptiness at third in a few seasons when Correa might need to shift off of quick, leg connected or not. So why simply the Twins? What have they cooked up?
Or perhaps, should you’re the sort that sees fishiness in every little thing, it’s the concept Minnesota — seen because the smallest of the small and the Midwest-iest of the Midwest by guys like Heyman and Mets followers — stepping in the place the Mets received’t, ought to be like swallowing strychnine to Steve Cohen. It’s simply plausible sufficient as a result of Correa performed there final yr. Attempt to begin the Royals as a rumor and also you’ll get laughed out of the room. However the Twins? Boras, it may very well be argued, is attempting to the touch a nerve via Heyman. Y’know, should you see the world that manner.
However somebody like Boras is aware of all of the angles, doesn’t he?
NWSL shoot some fish in a barrel
The NSWL introduced that they have been taking punitive motion on the people and golf equipment that have been outstanding in each the Yates Report and the NWSLPA model. Rory Dames, Paul Riley, Christy Holly, and Richie Burke have been banned for all times from the league.
Whereas that sounds good, and is definitely mandatory, it’s not like all of those people would have gotten jobs once more within the league. If any membership have been to take go away of their senses and attempt to rent any of those yutzes, the pushback from their followers and gamers would have been gargantuan. That is merely placing an underline on it, although being thorough isn’t out of order.
Extra fascinating is that the Chicago Pink Stars have been fined $1.5 million and the Portland Thorns $1 million for his or her inaction in some instances, or their continued dismissal of their coaches’ offenses, or their lively protecting it up. That will not sound like a ton, however be mindful the wage cap (with exceptions) for the 2022 season was $1.1 million. Think about if MLB or the NFL fined one in every of its groups some $230 million for some offense. That could be cash they might really discover. You may be positive the Thorns and Pink Stars do.
Lastly, let’s go to Scotland
