Carlos Correa to Giants - 13 (not a typo) years, $350 million

[StearnsFTW]

Give a guy who can't pass a physical 13 years [or try to].

 

 

 

Not a great look.

I'm pretty pissed off at the Twins front office right now. I'll just leave it at that.

The Twins offered more $$ per year, just for 10 years & not 13.  I really wanted to see Correa come back here.  But I laud the Twins' FO's restraint by not offering more than 10 years.  Signing a 28-year-old to ridiculous money ($28.5M/year) through his age-41 season seems like utter stupidity, and I'm glad it's not the Twins who did it.

There's a lot to be said for "winning" the battle to get the player you want, but there's also a lot to be said for avoiding a foolish if not potentially franchise-crippling move (witness the 8 years of paying for buying out Suter & Parise).

Now he’s changed to the Mets for 12 years and $315

Parise had to go, but i haven’t ever figured out what the pressing need was to get rid of suter. At least maybe could have rode him a couple more years to make it less painful. The cancer must have been a stage 4.

All in all though I think i would have made those signings again if we could go back though.
