I'll take the under. Baez did better than I expected, especially to get the early opt out in there.

As I sit in the car rider line waiting to pick up my kids, I am pondering who will win the AL West in 2022.  I think Houston still takes it, even if Correa doesn't return.  Thoughts?

If the season started right now, I'd probably take Houston, too (assuming the Verlander deal finalizes without a hitch). But we don't know what the Angels, Mariners, even the Rangers are going to do from here on out, so it's still very much up in the air.
If this is it for Houston, and the Mariners acquire Luis Castillo and sign Kris Bryant or something, well, things change.

Moncada should move to 2B to open 3B for Burger.  Yes/No

Moncada's a good 3B defender, I'd leave him there and focus on finding a second baseman. Someone from the Burger/Sheets/Vaughn collection could well end up being traded if all three continue to hit. That's not a bad thing, as it'd bring back some MLB talent.

Have you ever been to a game outside the US or Canada?
Steve Adams

I have not. Going to some KBO, NPB or CPBL games is very much on my wishlist in the future (hopefully not too distant). My wife taught in Taiwan for a couple years after college before moving back to the States, and she tells me all the time how much I'd love games in Asia. (She's been to both NPB and CPBL) I am quite jealous.

I've got to wrap up for the week. I'm on Twitter @Adams_Steve if you want to hit me with some of the hundreds of questions I couldn't get to.

We also run weekly chats and a weekly mailbag exclusive to our MLBTR Front Office subscribers, for those who are interested. It costs a few bucks a month but also comes with weekly email articles from Anthony Franco and myself -- and you're more than 10x likelier to get an answer to a question you submit there since we're drawing from smaller fields.

You can learn more about that here. We always appreciate the support! Free chats, of course, will continue on the site.

As I said earlier, I believe we'll have two this week hosted by recent big leaguers (one for sure -- finalizing the other). Look for one tomorrow morning and one Thursday, if all goes according to plan.

Have a great week everyone!
