Wow...

[G-Snarls]

 

Holy s***!

[G-Snarls]

So he's healthy enough for the Mets for 12 years?

[G-Snarls]

Are we sure this is legit??

[G-Snarls]

[Captain_Obvious]

f*** the Mets. This is getting out of hand.

Didn't even need a SS

 

Paid 315M for a second SS

 

Edit: I know Correa will play 3B. It's just.... Fn nuts

It would be nice if the baseball gods would balance things out. How about Verlander, Scherzer and Carrasco all on the DL mid May...

[xposbrad]

So their payroll with tax is now basically a half a billion dollars?

[Laika]

Wtf

[Stangstag]

 

Holy s*** lol

[Solaxys]

Alonso, McNeil, Lindor, Correa... what an infield

[Deadpool]

Big news for all you Willians Astudillo fans out there...

Correa playing 3B would be dumb. He’s like a year removed from winning a Platinum Glove at Shortstop lol

It's gonna happen though

[Stangstag]

He has a stronger arm than Lindor/McNeil so it makes most sense to put him at 3rd

Giants basically have to sign Conforto now.

 

I do respect the stones required to walk away because of concerning medicals though. The PR hit will be brutal. That's a huge financial commitment to a guy you have health concerns about before the ink dries.

[L54]

Lmao wow

[Jimcanuck]

One has to wonder if the Giants simply used the health condition clause to walk away from a deal they decided was a bad idea.

 

Were the Cubs / Braves / whoever really going to pay Correa something similar? Crazy.

that seems far fetched

 

more likely they just saw something legitimate on the medicals but kind of borderline. like mild DDD or a lightly frayed UCL.

[jaysblue]

Crazy turn of events. Mets are crazy.

Yeah, free agent market now is pretty bone dry. Some solid guys still available like Conforto, Profar, and some pitchers/relievers, but all the elite talent is gone. Maybe Giants look at the trade market to make a big move. Definitely a big PR hit though. Imagine some fans who bought season seats or flex packs based on the Giants spending big money this offseason.

sign conforto + overpay for Mr Jansen

Well that's what I mean. Of course Correa has various minor issues that allow for the exercise of "sole discretion".

No, we are not saying the same thing.

 

You are alleging bad faith.

[Jimcanuck]

Yes, I am suggesting the Giants got cold feet and used the health clause and whatever conditions Correa has to walk away from the deal. Yes, bad faith.

 

And I wouldn't blame them one bit.

 

As other's have pointed out on this board, it is likely that by the time the Giants are good and can compete with the Dodgers and Padres of this world, Correa is a good ways down the aging curve.

Okay, but that's a batshit allegation.

 

I don't think Farhan Zaidi got cold feet, man.

[Ehjays]

 

I thought it was odd when the Giants cancelled their CC Intro to the press.

[Laika]

The other owners probably hate Cohen so much, lmao

 

He refuses to be part of the price fixing cartel!
