Twins Had a Chance to Get Back in the Carlos Correa Mix, and Passed

I'm sure Boras called and said put up 10 years and 325 million and he's yours. The Giants dodged a bullet and Cohen is just an idiot.

The funny thing about this entire discussion is this:  After the Giants backed out, if the Mets had not jumped in there is every indication Correa would have, indeed, taken the Twins offer of 10/$285.

And then what would we have thought about the "non-competitive offer" that Correa "was never going to take"?

I still think Correa is ecstatic to be in NYC with his buddy Lindor on a stacked team.  But if the Mets had not been willing to break the bank on yet another player, Correa may very well have been back with the Twins for the next decade.

Food for thought.

Until a few days ago the Mets role in the Correa sweepstakes was unknown, but as it turns out, they had initially outbid MN as well. What info do you have that would indicate Correa was ready to sign a deal for 10/285?

That Boras said he called the Twins after the Giants backed out.

If the Mets had said no, who else does he turn to?

I'm confused. Are you saying I was directing vitriol at them in the article/quoted passage? I said there was no blaming them for their actions here.

Nope. I was agreeing with you.

Let’s get beyond Correa. He had three chances to resign with the Twins for more money per year, and he failed. 
Let him take his trash can elsewhere
