The Carlos Correa era in San Francisco is over. Lasted about 10 minutes. [View all]
Apparently, the Giants found some medical issues that made them leery about a 13-year contract.
Press conferences and talk show interviews were cancelled Tuesday without explanation.
Mets jumped in immediately.

It's a staggering outcome that continues to reshape the baseball landscape this offseason -- and would make the Mets the most expensive team in North American sports history.
Didn't the Mets already spend a whole bunch of money this offseason? And don't they already have a shortstop?!
Sure do. Last year, Mets owner Steve Cohen signed Francisco Lindor to a 10-year, $341 million deal after trading for the star shortstop in 2020. Correa is expected to move to third base in New York to play alongside his friend and Team Puerto Rico teammate Lindor.

Two shortstops? Why not three?
So much for "Money Ball".
It's how much can you spend.
Unless you're Billy Bean.

Athletics projected to pay $46 Million TOTAL in 2023, if I read it right.
