Carlos Correa

Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Correa’s deal carried an opt-out after the first year, which he exercised earlier in the month.

Adding Correa is a centerpiece for a Giants offseason that, with this as the missing piece, is finally taking shape. Signing Correa is a win for a team that really needed one to go with those smaller victories. With Correa being under 30 and a solid two-way player, it's easy to see why the Giants were comfortable penning him to a long-term deal. According to Jeff Passan, the Giants and Correa agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract. If the Giants had missed on Correa, this offseason would have been hard to argue against being an abject failure, so although this deal is ambitious it's big for a Giants team that is just a year removed from winning the NL West with 107 wins before going 81-81 last year. He'll be making $26.9 million per season this year, far less than his $35.3 million per year on the Twins deal, but he'll have a long-term home with the Giants.

The deal highlights the disparity between Correa's real-life and Fantasy value.

Provided the Brewers hold on to Winker and don't flip him in his final year of control, the 29-year-old has a prime opportunity to rebound in a park much more like the one where he made a name for himself in Cincinnati. He took aim at the short porch in right field, altering his swing to launch the ball in that direction, and now we can expect more of the same. Whether Mastrobuoni makes himself into a Fantasy asset with the Cubs like Cronenworth has with the Padres remains to be seen, but the 27-year-old profiles similarly as a hitter and could potentially also factor as a base-stealer. Winker is a master at getting on base and was coming off his best season, having hit .305 with 24 homers and a .949 OPS for the Reds in 2021, but longstanding health and platoon concerns cap his upside. But as is always the case with these signings, the power production is inflated, and it's questionable whether Yoshida's contact and on-base skills are enough to make him a significant Fantasy asset. Murphy hit .226 with a .702 OPS in Oakland last year compared to .272 with an .812 OPS on the road. As catcher acquisitions go, this one pales in comparison to the three-team deal that landed the Braves Sean Murphy and the Brewers William Contreras earlier in the day, but it is another case of a catcher finding a new home. So Contreras gets the benefit of more playing time, a better park and most likely the natural growth that comes with his level of experience. That's because he was so good that he opted out after the first and now gets the payday he sought all along, agreeing to a six-year, $162 million deal with the Yankees. What makes this move most interesting is where Martinez is going, the Dodgers, a team that's been reluctant to spend this offseason, looking to usher in a youth movement, but also one with a history of bringing out the best in overlooked veterans. As for the Diamondbacks' side of the deal, they now have a potential franchise catcher in Moreno, who they could give more seasoning at Triple-A with Carson Kelly already in the fold. It's a good spot for him, at least as far as Fantasy is concerned, because the Phillies were relying on a committee in their march to the World Series last year.

What we do know is that future is going to include Carlos Correa for a very long time. Thirteen years. That's quite a commitment, whether we're talking baseball contracts, prison sentences or marriages. It's a long, long time.

It's the skill set of a role player, yet it was enough to land LaFrentz a seven-year contract worth $70 million in the NBA once his rookie contract expired. If baseball's revenue figures continue to grow, having tens of millions of dead-money contracts on your books might not be a big deal for teams, especially those in the bigger markets. He will be the face of a franchise that needed one to take it into a future in which it balances Zaidi-driven efficiency with the kind of financial might that its market and ballpark allow, and it will help them keep pace with the Dodgers and Padres, division foes who aren't going anywhere. The use of "cap" here is intentional, because this kind of behavior in the market by MLB teams reminds me so much of how NBA clubs used to structure free agent deals to make them work under the soft-cap economic system under which that league operates. The lanky center out of Kansas featured a coveted offensive strength for his position: the ability to knock down 3s, which he matched with an ability to protect the rim on defense via elite block rates. When that happens, it will now be the Giants who benefit, and a Correa-level career season will be an MVP-worthy campaign. That kind of player involvement isn't necessarily for every organization, but given the culture of collaboration that Zaidi has created in San Francisco, Correa will fit right in. While the 13-year commitment to Correa is on its face eye-popping, the Giants' offer is entirely coherent in the context of free agency this winter, the first regular hot stove season after the owners and players reached an accord on a new CBA last spring. Given the terms of the contract, it seems this isn't a neighborhood Minnesota wanted to shop in. Which is kind of a shame, because last week, at the winter meetings in San Diego, the media session with Twins manager Rocco Baldelli was about 80% related to Correa praise, with Baldelli talking about how Correa had maintained close contact with everyone in the organization, from the hitting coaches to the young players on the roster. Also, near the end of the pact, Correa will probably be getting to what will then be called Alcatraz Park via a self-driving hovercraft, the First, let me just state that while I was operating without any sort of insider knowledge of Correa's free agency, I was convinced that he would sign with the Giants when a rumor was floated by multiple respected MLB reporters on Monday that the Mets had entered the race to land his services.

Carlos Correa landing with the Giants might be great for San Francisco, but Tristan H. Cockcroft explains why the fit might not be ideal for fantasy.

Maybe had Correa wound up with the Yankees or Dodgers or Mets, I'd be more optimistic about his prospects of a career year in 2023, with those locations all better for heightening his statistical ceiling. The team finished Kapler's first three seasons at the helm averaging the eighth- (2020), sixth- (2021) and 11th-most runs per game (2022) in baseball. In fact, the Giants haven't seen a 30-homer hitter in any of their past 16 seasons calling Oracle Park their home, and that's an important plateau to bring up, considering Correa has never reached it himself, having topped out at 26 during the 2021 season. Per Statcast's three-year park factors, it has been the second-worst venue for home runs (73 park factor, meaning it suppressed homers by a whopping 27%) and third-worst venue overall (95) for all hitters, as well as the second worst both for home runs (76) and overall (95) for right-handed batters. Until then, a healthy Correa has the capability to hit 30 homers, and he'll probably do so at some point during his soon-to-be-13 seasons in San Francisco.

The Giants have developed a reputation for rehabilitating pitchers, so it could be a good fit for both sides. After coming up short in their pursuit of Aaron Judge, the Giants would still like to acquire another outfielder to pair with Haniger. At the Winter Meetings in San Diego last week, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said he’d be open to adding a late-inning reliever who could potentially help share closing duties with young flamethrower Camilo Doval. Landing Correa required a landmark commitment from the Giants, who were expected to be aggressive in pursuing marquee free agents following their disappointing .500 finish in 2022. Having two guys that are comfortable closing, it gets important when you have a save situation and then you’ve got an extra-inning game where you use your closer the third day in a row.

The most intriguing alternative would be another familiar face: free-agent lefty Taylor Rogers, It’s just nice to be able to have the discipline to say, ‘You’re definitely not pitching, save situation or not.’ I think it mitigates some of the risk of overworking your closer if you have a couple of options.” A true center fielder would be ideal, though there aren’t too many free-agent options available now that Brandon Nimmo, Cody Bellinger and Kevin Kiermaier are off the board. The club has not confirmed the move. The deal, the fourth-largest in Major League history, has no opt-out and a full no-trade clause.

Farhan Zaidi and the Giants went big on Tuesday like they never have before, agreeing to a 13-year, $350 million deal with Carlos Correa.

Under Zaidi and a revamped front office, the Giants had not committed more than $50 million to a player until Tuesday, even with the earlier additions this offseason. He did set a record for biggest overall contract for a shortstop, though, eclipsing the $341 million that Francisco Lindor got from the Mets. The Giants have spent years clearing their books for this day and they didn't shy away from high expectations as the offseason approached. With Correa, Joc Pederson, Mitch Haniger, Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling, the Giants have committed $463.15 million to five veteran free agents. With Denard Span's $31 million deal, the Giants went over $250 million in total commitments that year. The Correa deal is not just the largest in franchise history, it's much more than the Giants have ever committed to an entire class of players in a single offseason.

0 After seeing 36 wins evaporate from 2021 to 2022 and with the Dodgers and Padres looking like first-tier contenders, the Giants had a choice either to go big or to accept their lot as NL West underdogs. The AL Central is up for grabs, and that kind of investment may make a bigger difference there than any other division in baseball. $285 million might land you Swanson and The cumulative missed time had an obvious effect on his long-term projections, and after ranking second in projected rest-of-career WAR in ZiPS before 2017, he slipped out of the top 20 before the 2020 season. A pretty big one. How big a deal is Correa entering free agency at 28 rather than 30? The percentage boost may seem miserly, but MLB’s salary growth has been short of inflation for a while and certainly way behind revenue growth, and helped by COVID, the average salary increased by only $70,000 between 2017 and 2021. 30 35 1 One of the biggest free agents last year as well, he took a three-year deal with the Twins worth $105.3 million, but with an opt-out clause that allowed him to hit the open market if a second crack at it seemed like a good idea.

The Carlos Correa deal will have a big impact on other Giants and the rest of their offseason. Here's what's next for Brandon Crawford, Marco Luciano and ...

With Correa locked up, the Giants can afford to be patient and see what kind of steals are out there in February. A Correa-Pederson-Haniger trio in the two-three-four spots is much better than what the Giants had last season and would allow them to use others in more comfortable spots. While the Giants have been optimistic about Luciano's ability to stay on the dirt, most rival scouts who have seen him predict a position change at some point. That's not sustainable with a 26-man roster, and the Giants desperately needed someone who could play every day and allow Kapler to mix and match elsewhere. The additions will allow the other pieces to fit a lot easier. No matter who is at short, a Crawford-Correa left side of the infield is potentially the best defensive pairing in baseball. He is the new face of the franchise, the player likely to see his photo plastered on the entrance at Third and King, and the Giants are hopeful he can lead them back to contention. The answer has remained the same, that the Giants aren't ready to announce a decision yet. But if they can navigate the stickiness, this is actually a great problem to have. This is perhaps the most fascinating -- and awkward -- part of the next few days. Scott Boras, Correa's agent, said at the GM Meetings that none of the teams that were talking to his shortstops had asked for a position change. Correa was talking about the incumbent Twins at the time, but ultimately it was the Giants who walked out of the store with the most expensive object.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants had plenty of holes entering this offseason, but shortstop wasn't necessarily one of them. Brandon Crawford was coming off a ...

Really strong defensive players tend to play up the middle. As of this past week, San Francisco hadn’t spoken with Crawford about a potential position change, but those conversations will surely have to happen now that the 28-year-old Correa is expected to anchor their infield for the next decade-plus. [agreed to a landmark 13-year, $350 million deal with the Giants](https://www.mlb.com/giants/news/carlos-correa-giants-deal), a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Tuesday. The best way to improve your defense is by targeting really strong defensive players. The Giants accomplished that goal by landing Correa. And it just so happened that several of the top free agents play Crawford’s position.

Chris Russo was highly critical of the Giants' massive 13-year, $350 million contract for Carlos Correa.

I'll say it now and I'll leave it alone, this is going to be a contract that is going to go down as one of the worst contracts or moves in the history of the San Francisco Giants." "To sit there and think that you are going to build your team around a guy who is 29 years of age in September, that you are going to build your team at whatever it is, $29 million a year, whose highest MVP vote was fifth and you're going to give him the same money the Yankees gave Judge who sells tickets and gets TV ratings on YES? And based on his ability to bet on himself last year and cash in this week, Correa doesn't seem like a player who will back down from a challenge. "That is a, and this is a quote, and I don't care if San Francisco never talks to me again, this is an awful, awful contract. Russo then proceeds to make a very bold prediction that Correa's contract will go down as one of the worst moves in Giants franchise history. "To sit there and give him what San Francisco did, at 13 years, they need their heads examined," Russo added.
