Although injuries have been the main enemy of Seager, his quality as a shortstop is undeniable and that is why he will receive a $ 272 million settlement, which would place him among the highest paid in his position. The big question is whether they will be the Dodgers the owners of that deal that is projected for 9 years.

Correa turned down an extension with the Astros, only to receive a better one for $ 266 and 10 years or $ 300 million and 12 seasons. The Tigers are rumored to be candidates, but their current project won’t allow it, making the Yankees and Angels look favorites as their next destination.

Javier Báez has been comfortable playing for the Mets, but for that union to be maintained, the team will have to pay a $ 192 million, 8-year agreement or else he will leave. The reports indicate that New York will give him what he asks for and it is even stated that there have already been conversations on the subject.
Most single-season HR by a 2B in @MLB HISTORY:
S1) Marcus Semien – 43 (2021)?
S1) Davey Johnson – 43 (1973) pic.twitter.com/RKVEUs4ZXd– Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) September 26, 2021
Semien’s historic season has regained its market value, which is $ 90 million. If Toronto wants to keep their project, the second baseman must be an option that will cost them $ 18 million per year.
