Yeah, that’s what they were talking about last week, Lindor was pushing Cohen for it.So I assume Correa plays 3B in this scenario?
Yeah it looks like they’re right around there currently, $278M, although they need to trade some guys.This offseason is just bananas.
Do the Mets now have enough on the books for 2024 that they're in the top tax tier then too?
Depends what the Giants saw in their physical, doesn't it?26m AAV, doesn't cost a pick, why couldn't we beat that Chaim?
Seriously why do we want a player the Giants think is hurt for twelve years.Depends what the Giants saw in their physical, doesn't it?
“We need one more thing, and this is it,” Cohen told The Post from Hawaii. “This was important … This puts us over the top. This is a good team. I hope it’s a good team!”
Maybe it was posturing to knock a year or two off, or drop some of the AAV, and Boras went to the Mets knowing they'd pull the trigger.Of course it had to be Cohen to step in after the Giants got cold feet about Correa's medicals.
Seriously - how bad must those medicals be to first depress his market a year ago, and now this?
Very true: have to wonder that maybe it is a degenerative condition like an arthritic knee for example that the Twins would not have bothered checking on over such a short contract last season, but the issue would have come up for them as well if their offer was agreed upon.The Twins had offered 10/285 before the Giants agreement, and they had his medicals and watched him play all season. Whatever got flagged, it didn’t seem to bother Minn.
I wonder if Correa had second thoughts about joining the Giants and told Boras to find any way he could to get out of the deal before the ink was dry.Very true: have to wonder that maybe it is a degenerative condition like an arthritic knee for example that the Twins would not have bothered checking on over such a short contract last season, but the issue would have come up for them as well if their offer was agreed upon.
In any case, the Mets do get him for less AAV than the Twins offer and what Bogey signed for. But those last few years are going to REALLY not be worth the AAV if Correa is still in fact anywhere near the organization.
They only have one more year of Bonilla*Bobby Bonilla 2.0?
I count 2034 for CC, 2035 for BB.Both contracts end in 2035.
I stand corrected. Giants' deal would have gone through 2035, Mets deal is one year shorter.I count 2034 for CC, 2035 for BB.
Fair point, that wouldn't surprise me. But odd in that Correa is really one of the last dominos to fall and knew how the FA signings were playing out to this point. I could totally see Boras pushing the physical narrative even if not totally accurate, so he can still claim his client took the largest valid offer.I wonder if Correa had second thoughts about joining the Giants and told Boras to find any way he could to get out of the deal before the ink was dry.
A case of frigus pedesI wonder if Correa had second thoughts about joining the Giants and told Boras to find any way he could to get out of the deal before the ink was dry.
