Late Tuesday night, one of the prizes of the Major League Baseball free agency class reportedly signed a massive contract with a new team.
ESPN insider Jeff Passan reported free agent shortstop Carlos Correa has agreed to a deal with the San Francisco Giants. The deal will reportedly pay him $350 million over 13 years – the largest contract in MLB history for a shortstop.
Not long after the news broke, social media couldn’t help but react to the new deal. Almost everyone mentioned a deal Correa had on the table to remain with the Houston Astros.
Let’s just say he made the right decision in the end.
“The Astros offered Carlos Correa a five-year, $160 million contract at the end of the 2021 season. He ended up getting 14 years and $395 million guaranteed between the Twins and Giants,” Astros reporter Chandler Rome pointed out.
Others couldn’t help but notice Los Angeles Dodgers fans aren’t too fond of Correa.
“Dodgers-Giants was missing a villain once Bumgarner left. In steps Carlos Correa,” Dodgers writer Vincent Samperio said.
What do you think of Correa’s new deal?
