For a fun/morbid Friday, this site is always fascinating. I’d be fucked as my wife didn’t agree on getting the house in Buenavista.

Pena's defensive runs saved stat is why his dWAR is higher than Correa's even though he has a lower fielding percentage. I'm not arguing whether that's a good metric or not - just offering an explanation.
His situational hitting also appears to be significantly better than Correa's was this year especially opportunities to ground into double plays and productive outs.
A more detailed comparison for stat nerds:

The bottom line is that we got tremendous value for Pena and letting Correa walk looks more and more like the right thing to do. We took the money offered him and locked down Alvarez and now can try to sign Verlander again.

The nuclear saber rattling is disconcerting but IMHO the "annexation" was more for domestic consumption so that people will accept mobilization. It changes the narrative internally from "we're attacking Ukraine to stop Nazis" to "we're defending our territory from an aggressor". And yes, many will buy it as that's what the propagandists will say. It's a big change in the story but it's how Putin rolls.
None of that changes the situation on the ground in Ukraine nor does it change what is about to occur once Lend-Lease kicks off tomorrow. The mobilization isn't going to work and Russia is running out of modern weapons.
