The Giants failed to bring in the kind of big-time player they needed, and were big-timed by the Mets and Twins (!!!) in the process
It’s one thing to have cold feet and then be big-timed by the New York Mets. Their billionaire owner has made it clear that he is not the least bit concerned about baseball’s luxury tax. He can toss around millions like we toss around $20.
So when the Mets found the same concerns on Correa’s medicals that the Giants did, Cohen’s team was in a position to back away. The risk wasn’t worth the reward for a team that is a World Series contender with or without Correa.Both the Twins and Giants needed Correa — a player like that is the difference between .500 and a playoff berth.
Yet the Twins — a team that under the same ownership was nearly contracted for being so cheap — was the team willing to take on the risk Correa carries.
