I guess playing in Queens trumped the money. That AAV is less than the San Francisco offer. Is he going to play third base? Is Lindor, still the highest paid shortstop, going to move?
I’ll be interested to read the reporting but I have to imagine SFG significantly reduced their offer after the physical and Correa went to the next highest bidder.
If Clemons was the Drama Queen, Correa is the Prima Donna.
380m!
Boy did we all call it a night too early.

Whew… all this time I thought it he left for money. Thank goodness we cleared that up.
Also, this whole thing reeks of bullshit. Cohen saying they “picked up right where they left off” in negotiations - but the deal is almost $70M less??
I did not go to bed, but a HIPAA discussion starts me dozing.
SPHINX: Clemens!

I immediately wondered whether we’d have a coronation ceremony for the new DQ.
I’ll take “Rotator Cuff” for $50, Alex. (RIP)
As I said before the CC “signing” SFG should pivot to a rebuild. This fiasco may give them a “fig leaf” to do so. Crawford is probably their most valuable veteran piece to move and I can see the Yankees reaching out on this.
The coronation ceremony was scheduled, but then postponed.

It’s $35m less than San Francisco offered, where’s the $70m coming from?
I completely forgot Lindor. Who will change positions?
Article says Correa to 3B.
How far the mighty have fallen.
Cohen lies. The conversation from the agent likely was “If your offer is still open, we’ll take it.”
Sorry, I was thinking it was 380 to 315.

That’s what I assume. SFG took their 350 off the table, either made a lower offer or dragged their feet reaching a number, and Boras called the next high bidder in Cohen to more or less accept his offer.
The article notes that this NYM deal is also pending a physical. Can you imagine?

After the steM spending all of this money, I still bet the Phillies or Braves take the division.
