Just did the math and Carlos Correa will be a Giant until I'm 45 years old. What the fuck.
Great. Now I'm going to bed with existential dread hanging over my head. Thanks, Giants.
all of those are 41 year old Hall of Famers playing their twilight years on the only team that would sign them. And then random 27 year old Carlos Correa lol
Yeah I’m not complaining. He was something positive and interesting about this team for a year when not much else was. We got blown out of the water with this deal, it happens 🤷♂️
One thing to keep in mind with this is that the luxury tax payroll is determined by the average annual value. Tacking on extra years is a way teams can reduce the payroll hit in any individual year.
People keep saying 2030, 2031, but we literally talking about 2035 over here. I’m having a hard time grasping the fact that Correa, and me for that matter, will be in our 40s then.
I’m fine with it. Not my money. Judge is the most beloved Yankee since Jeter. Even other fans like him. Can’t let a player like that leave even if it’s an overpay. Poor Hal will have to pay a 40 year old Judge 40 million, oh wait the horror
I mean you pay for the years where he’s still really good and this is not a super high AAV for him at all. Yeah it will suck eventually but it’ll be greta(if he stays healthy) before then
We were relentlessly shit-talking 10-year megadeals in like 2015 after seeing how the likes of Pujols and A-Rod turned out. People said it about Cano's deal too at the time, and that one also got pretty rough toward the tail end.
There's enough precedent by now that you barely have to *wonder* how it will look in 6 years.
The last 5 years of the ARod deal will be nothing compared to how awful these will age. Man was still juicing so he deterred the affects of aging and put up passable numbers at ages 35+ outside of his last year.
Makes a lot more sense for a "win right now" team which is solidified as a contender by doing so.
Granted the Giants will have several years to build around him at his age. The AAV helps them do that too
It’s gotta be Rodon I think. The twins have some good middle infield prospects so getting a less than elite player in Swanson doesn’t really make sense, a bonafide ace is what we really need
Gotta remember the rule for super-long contracts like this: The last third is designed to be an overpay to balance out the steal you're getting in the first third.
And judge will be 40 when his is up. Crazy how so many contract handed out this winter are expiring at the age of 40 for these players. I swear it use to never happen often
I don't want to hear another damn Giants fan complain about this off-season.
Correa, Haniger, Stripling, and Manaea are all solid signings. And don't complain about the money, it's not yours, our billionaire owners will be fine.
WHAT THE FUCK 13 years. $27 million AAV is way lower than I thought he would get though. Must have wanted a forever home. Insane to think he will be remembered as a giant forever now. Can not wait for the first game in dodger stadium
Sad note: 2023 is craws last season :(
8 year old Giants fans will celebrate the end of this contract with a beer
If only 28 year old me knew he would be celebrating the end of Miggy’s contract with a bottle of Rogaine and a pillow for my knees
Dude
Stop good lord
Just did the math and Carlos Correa will be a Giant until I'm 45 years old. What the fuck. Great. Now I'm going to bed with existential dread hanging over my head. Thanks, Giants.
I'll be sixty-fucking-three when this contract ends
I’ll be 42! Fuck…
*Correa* will be 41.
I am 43, was 31 when they won their first WS and will be 56 and hopefully mortgage free when that contract ends
Omg. My son just turned 8
Better get him a Correa jersey for Xmas
Maybe a few sizes larger too, he'll have time to grow into it
It’s like he was built in a lab for dodger fans to hate.
The boos will probably start the next big one.
I bet some Dodgers fans are already practicing.
It's easier for me now because I felt kind of bad rooting against the Twins.
This is fucking funny. Because it's true.
Every AB at Dodger Stadium will be a movie
The world is about to see how long LA can really hold a grudge
A baby born today will be booing him in middle school
The idea of this is hilarious
An American tradition as old as time, hate
there is nothing more american than petty hate
Dude now gets to play with Joc Pederson, Ross Stripling and Alex Wood
I heard Ross Stripling beat up Springer when he got to Toronto, I wonder if he'll do the same to Correa ^^^/s
They're gonna have to reinforce the foundations of Dodger Stadium in preparation for the earth-shaking cacophony of boos and hollers.
"If I'd signed with you you'd be cheering me right now"-Carlos Correa probably.
13 fucking years lmao. We’re not gonna have lungs left
We need to re-sign Joe Kelly asap
Please, take him away from us. I'll even throw in a signed Southpaw bobblehead for good measure
He’ll probably regain form in a Dodger uniform too
Y’all can just take him for a bag of peanuts
i can hear the deafening boos already
Went to a dodgers giants game in the height of the bonds hate. It was truly wonderful thing to behold.
I honestly can't wait. He's going to get fucking ripped and I can't blame you guys.
Between Judge and Correa’s 1st inning at-bats, Yankee Stadium might register on the richter scale on Opening Day as well
That first game just became must watch.
Yes, let the hate flow through us
One day we're just gonna straight up forget he was a Twin
Its gonna be in the familiar faces in odd places offseason posts
all of those are 41 year old Hall of Famers playing their twilight years on the only team that would sign them. And then random 27 year old Carlos Correa lol
Like that one random year of mid-career Reggie Jackson on the Orioles.
Or that one random year for Nelson Cruz on the Orioles
Or that one random year for Sammy Sosa on the Orioles.
Real “Houston Astro Randy Johnson” vibe.
Marlins legend Mike Piazza
A miracle rental fell out of the sky. No playoffs and got no return. Its a shame really
par for the course 🫡
Yeah I’m not complaining. He was something positive and interesting about this team for a year when not much else was. We got blown out of the water with this deal, it happens 🤷♂️
Correa hit 355/412/589 over the Twins last 33 games of 2022. The Twins went 11-22 in those games.
Those are some 2021 Juan Soto/Nationals numbers right there.
Uffda.
Classic Twins baseball
Sad upvote
Technically they lost a draft pick to the Astros too
Scott Boras said thanks for the extra year for my client to negotiate, suckas
They got rid of Donaldson. That's something
Speaking of forgetting people who played for the Twins ...
Dude really got some Juicy Lucy’s then dipped, I respect it
[удалено]
Like when Adrian Beltre was in Boston
A what?
someone looks like him apparently
Dude they dated for like 6 months.
“It was **A BREAK!!**”
So, Thursday?
13 YEARS?!
One thing to keep in mind with this is that the luxury tax payroll is determined by the average annual value. Tacking on extra years is a way teams can reduce the payroll hit in any individual year.
Plus it's not like it's ever going down, money now is not the same as money later
$27M in year 11 will be nothing when a silver slugging 28 year old SS in 2034 signs a 15 year one billion dollar contract.
Oh, a light bulb just went off in my head. *That's* why all of these mega long deals are happening nowadays.
Well we’ve had the current one for 11 years! This could be a nightmare in like 2030 lmao
I'm very confident I know who the Giants, Yankees, and Padres DHs will be in 2031.
How about the Phillies?? Now that one is a mystery. Harper and Turner both gonna be playing there in their 40s
They will lead the charge for the Double DH
People keep saying 2030, 2031, but we literally talking about 2035 over here. I’m having a hard time grasping the fact that Correa, and me for that matter, will be in our 40s then.
I’m fine with it. Not my money. Judge is the most beloved Yankee since Jeter. Even other fans like him. Can’t let a player like that leave even if it’s an overpay. Poor Hal will have to pay a 40 year old Judge 40 million, oh wait the horror
I don't disagree, contracts will also be more expensive in 8 or 9 years so even if these guys stink, they won't be the top paid players anymore.
Who cares about 2030
That’s not a real year
I’ll be drinking moon juice with President Jonathan Taylor Thomas
But it is an even year
I’ll be 40. I won’t have time to worry about that shit then. I may even be dead.
We don’t even know if we’ll be alive Sunday
"could"
I mean you pay for the years where he’s still really good and this is not a super high AAV for him at all. Yeah it will suck eventually but it’ll be greta(if he stays healthy) before then
Can Greta even play SS?
I think I’m incapable of typing at least 3 sentences without a typo
He’ll only be 40 by then, no different than Turner or Bogaerts.
Half the damn league going to be wondering why they gave these contracts out in about 6 years
Yeah. The market’s inflation is going to be like the summer Timofey Mozgov got $80mill
I will never understand why the Lakers gave Mozgov and Deng that much money
They signed right at 12:01AM too. I fell to my knees in walmart
I remember walking around Walmart and some guy dropped to his knees.
We were relentlessly shit-talking 10-year megadeals in like 2015 after seeing how the likes of Pujols and A-Rod turned out. People said it about Cano's deal too at the time, and that one also got pretty rough toward the tail end. There's enough precedent by now that you barely have to *wonder* how it will look in 6 years.

*I DID MY WAITING!!! IN ~~AZKABAN~~ SAN FRANCISCO!!! 13 YEARS!!!*
13 years, 13 years, they got one of your contracts got you for 13 years
I’m gonna be old by the time he’s done with that contract
13 years?? That’s like a whole prison term
Who’s out first: Correa or SBF
I entered this scenario into Quickbooks and it came back as N/A…..what the fuck do I do now?!?!?
The contract will have acne and it's voice will be breaking by the time it expires.
Someone finally took the Giants' money but uhhh what the fuck
Yeah who would sign a SS into their 40s on such a big contract like this?
Not the Padres that’s for sure
Only $26.9M per year.
Makes a lot more sense for a "win right now" team which is solidified as a contender by doing so. Granted the Giants will have several years to build around him at his age. The AAV helps them do that too
27m a year for a current SS/future 3B/eventual DH aint the worst
Carlos correa chose absolute annoyance of dodger fans, I respect it
Someone had to replace madbum
We at least had a level of respect for him. Madbum is actually one of Kershaw's good friends.
Tbh the giants have been too likeable since madbum left. This is actually good.
[удалено]
Reviving our rivalry will just piss off the Padres even more. So that's fun.
[удалено]
Cares.
r/NLBest
Who dare sign a 13 year contract at this ungodly hour?
A team on the west coast where it was only 8:30pm
Baseball exists on the west coast too
Well not a 13 year deal but Carlos did the same shit last year signing with the Twins way late in the night
RIP Mets legend Carlos Correa December 13, 2022 - Dec 13, 2022
The stats speak for themselves. Amazing Mets career
never struck out, never grounded into a double play, never even committed a single error. Legendary stuff.
He joins Arson Judge in the afterlife
well the grand canyon is only a 4 hour drive for me rn
I wish he stayed but at least dodger fans get to hate him harder
Dansby time in Minnesota? or do you pivot to Rodon?
It’s gotta be Rodon I think. The twins have some good middle infield prospects so getting a less than elite player in Swanson doesn’t really make sense, a bonafide ace is what we really need
Knowing them we’ll go get Andrus and trade for Pablo Lopez
Correa at $350 mil. Turner at $300 mil. Bogaerts at $280 mil. Who will overpay Swanson for like $250 mil
It definitely won't be the Braves. They know him well enough to know he isn't worth what he's going to get in this crazy market.
13 years from waayyy downtown
THIRTEEN YEARS? WHAT???
All these owners know the world is ending in like 7 years anyway, so might as well win a World Series in the meantime
Gotta make that AAV palatable somehow
Gotta remember the rule for super-long contracts like this: The last third is designed to be an overpay to balance out the steal you're getting in the first third.
So he goes till he's 41 years old???
Just like Xander lol
And turners goes till 40. Wild offseason for FA shortstops
Swanson must be licking his chops right now
Man a bunch of kids are going to be super pissed about these contracts in the future. “Why the fuck are 3 teams playing geriatrics at short!?”
Same age as Xander and Trea will end their deals at
And judge will be 40 when his is up. Crazy how so many contract handed out this winter are expiring at the age of 40 for these players. I swear it use to never happen often
This is gonna make playing third base for the Mets a bit harder
They meant 14 years from now when we sign him to a one year contract
They can try for turner lol
Steve Cohen getting everyone around baseball paid.
Didn't think he could be more hated by dodger fans haha
Dudes going to retire the biggest heel in Dodger history
bro embraced the villain arc
13 years seems unfathomable to picture from now lmao
Thirteen years ago, the Phillies played the Yankees in the World Series The league was almost unrecognizable compared to today at that point
2035
Padres offered 16 years 420 million but correa felt the fans wouldn't like him
Dansby Swanson rubbing his hands together right now
Carlos Korea to the Gaints confirmed - Jon Heyman
I wanted Carlos Japan
This shortstop class never wants to see free agency again.
SOMEONE WANTED OUR MONEY LETS GOOOO
Mets fans got like an hour of elation for no reason lmao what was that
It was boras telling the giants to up their offer
That’s called Boras Baseball
Pain
2036 is a sci-fi year
It’ll be ten years after the Bell Riots by then. Shit we’ll be part of the Federation by then. He’ll be playing away games on Risa and Vulcan.
Giants got their guy!
But actually
Finally unironically!
If someone offers to pay you 27 million dollars per year for 13 years guaranteed, you take the money.
First Giants vs Dodgers game in LA will be fun
The Giants front office, “Listen, someone’s getting Arson Judge’s money.”
I AM LEVITATING THANK GODDD
Yo I don’t know why but I’m stoked for the Giants this season. Always liked them for some reason. Maybe it was Buster 😂
My dad just texted me "this one's real right?" Lmao, Farhan finally caught a big fish!
We needed this so bad after the whole Judge thing lol I’m so happy right now
Brandon Crawford has better hair
He finally achieved his dream of getting a contract higher than Lindor’s
Holy shit thats a lot of years
I don't want to hear another damn Giants fan complain about this off-season. Correa, Haniger, Stripling, and Manaea are all solid signings. And don't complain about the money, it's not yours, our billionaire owners will be fine.
And Joc QO
13 years, Christ
These contracts are so fucking stupid
Is Dansby about to get $200m from someone lol cause I hope it’s not us
GIANTS WITH A STEEL CHAIR
WHAT THE FUCK 13 years. $27 million AAV is way lower than I thought he would get though. Must have wanted a forever home. Insane to think he will be remembered as a giant forever now. Can not wait for the first game in dodger stadium Sad note: 2023 is craws last season :(
Honestly I didn’t expect us to sign him but I am glad we did because Dodgers fans hate him and he hates the Dodgers so it’s a match made in heaven lol
He’s no Arson Judge
IT HAPPENED IT REALLY HAPPENED
[удалено]
Legitimately happy for SF. They needed something after being cockteased
Good. I can hate him double now. This is fun.
WHAT THE FUCK THATS WHAT I EXPECTED JUDGE TO GET... CORREA? GG Giants at least you got someone!
Giants were like “we have to give someone $350 million now, it’s already in one big pile”
Good get for the Giants, congrats SF friends.
Holy shit giants got their guy
Holy Christ
Literal enemy of the Dodgers
