Free agent shortstop Carlos Correa won't be going to the San Francisco Giants after all.
back on Dec. 13. San Francisco had made a substantial offer to slugging outfielder Aaron Judge, but lost out when he decided to re-sign with the New York Yankees. Correa was reportedly at the top of their offseason to-do list, and would have been a major improvement for a team that struggled to repeat their surprising 2021 success.
Then, just hours before Correa was reportedly going to be introduced in a news conference on Tuesday,No reason was given, but according to the Associated Press, an unknown medical issue had come up during Correa's physical. Since deals don't go forward until a physical is done and approved, the Giants apparently chose to wait to introduce him until it was figured out.
We don't know what the Giants would have done from there. They may have renegotiated Correa's contract, or cancelled the deal altogether. And now we'll never know what they would have done. The Giants may not have even imagined that the Mets and their extremely rich owner, Steve Cohen, could come swooping in like a giant bird of prey to steal one of their targets like a tasty snack, but that appears to be just what they did.
So how do you improve a team that won 101 games but still weren't good enough to win it all? Cohen believes he's figured out the answer: spend all the money. All of it. And he's done just that.
