Mercifully, the Carlos Correa free agency saga is reportedly over. The Dodgers will not be signing the All-Star shortstop, to the excitement of many. The bad news is that the San Francisco Giants reportedly will be.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news just a few minutes before 9 PM on the west coast.
Correa’s bet on himself paid off and he firmly secured the bag, as it were. Passan reports that the shortstop and the Giants are in agreement on a 13-year deal worth $350 million. While the total amount surpasses what former Dodgers star Corey Seager got last winter ($325 million), the 13 years means that Correa will not be the highest paid shortstop in baseball.
