I think that's the 4th largest contract in MLB. Trout, Betts, Judge, and then Correa ahead of Lindor, Tatis, & Harper. However, Ohtani & Soto will likely pass him in the coming years.

I think it's safe to say he played this pretty damn well and got what he wanted.

There is less than 0% chance that deal will be anything less than a lead weight the size of a kayak in McCovey's Cove in 8 years. Those last 5 will be brutal.

Good for Carlos but that contract blows bigtime.

The entire back half of CC's contract will be dead weight for SF.

Regardless, I'll always be a CC fan. He will also get to stick it to the Dodgers for years!

He turned down 440 M over 15.

Correa wasn't going to settle for that even if the AAV was slightly better.

It's not that fact that he turned it down. It's the fact that Boras told him we're insulted by the offer.

Correa has already banked 62 M between Houston & Minnesota. He'll going to end up with 412 M made when he hangs them up.

None of these guys are going to get any cheaper. We should be looking to invest in our guys now. Pay them and get them thru their prime. Avoid the late 30s & 40s. I hope we're forward thinking because losing Bregman in 25 then Tucker, Framber, & Javier in 26 is going to hurt like hell if we're not going to play the long term contract game.

the Astros need to get the Tucker extension done.

don't like the chances of re-signing Bregman --- he's going to want 10 years $300 MM as a minimum

I think Tucker knows his worth and wants to see free agency

Correa was never going back to Minnesota. He's a me player and just used them for a year to get a better deal.

I think this is probably correct. Maybe it's why we're so interested in Alek Thomas. OF is the one spot we have some guys in the pipeline between Leon, Melton, Gilbert, and if you want to count guys like Barber, Dirden, & Julks.

Tiny sample sizes, but Correa has terrible numbers in 3 of the 4 NL West parks.

Oracle Park (SF): 3 for 19 (.158/.238/.263)
Petco Park (SD): 5 for 36 (.147/.194/.412)
Dodger Stadium (LA): 5 for 23 (.217/.280/.348)

on the flip side, he rakes in Arizona

18 for 55 (.327/.415/.546)

Explain how not wanting to be in Minnesota makes him a me player. Also, why would he sign a much worst deal with Minny? It's not like their offer was all that close.

I know inflation is a real thing with these salaries… but damn.

Biggio had career earnings of like $80 million. A hall of famer. Now you have Correa getting $400+ in a career. There are guys making half of Biggio's career in a year. And his career only ended 15 years ago.

But it started like 35 years ago..

but what happens when some of these players wear out their welcome and start struggling in year 3 or 4 of their mega-deals

The plan now is to have the next stars lined up.

Also you have Yordan signed to a cheap deal and like 200 Dominicans signed for minimum wage.
