Javier Baez signing with Detroit

5 years $95 million

I cannot find any factual evidence on this. It might be fake.

I kind of wondered if Baez would be the first of the 5 shortstops to sign. He's basically the fifth of the five, and my thinking was that he might just jump at whatever reasonable deal came his way.

And now the situation with the SS market is kind of interesting. With Detroit settled on Baez and the Yankees holding back, I think the rest of these guys will sign lesser deals than what they had in mind.

So much for the Correa to detroit idea. The big FA target is still on the board with his former manager and seemingly former team out of it.

Nobody wants to touch 10 year mega deals. All the little guys are getting scooped up. Gonna be all "Bryce Harpered Up" in here to the wire!

If it was me I'd be going 5-6 years & $40 million. That was you don't hamstring yourself completely. That's still a pretty good deal. I'd definitely throw in some injury protection just in case. He'd be dumb to pass up an opportunity like that.

It sounds like Seattle had the money on the years, but the not the years for Semien. I still have hope though.
