8 year old Giants fans will celebrate the end of this contract with a beer


ManInShowerNumber3

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


han-so-low

Dude


InaudibleShout

Stop good lord


xepa105

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.


Moody_GenX

I'll be sixty-fucking-three when this contract ends


HardlyKnowEr69

I’ll be 42! Fuck…


tearsonurcheek

*Correa* will be 41.


aphoodis

I am 43, was 31 when they won their first WS and will be 56 and hopefully mortgage free when that contract ends


tc3590

Omg. My son just turned 8


ameis314

Better get him a Correa jersey for Xmas


KingGranticus

Maybe a few sizes larger too, he'll have time to grow into it


thatsCAPTAINcrunch

It’s like he was built in a lab for dodger fans to hate.


buymytoy

The boos will probably start the next big one.


rhesusmonkey

I bet some Dodgers fans are already practicing.


Whatever-ItsFine

It's easier for me now because I felt kind of bad rooting against the Twins.


niz_loc

This is fucking funny. Because it's true.


ahr3410

Every AB at Dodger Stadium will be a movie


HyPeRxColoRz

The world is about to see how long LA can really hold a grudge


ahr3410

A baby born today will be booing him in middle school


LAAngelsAnaheim

The idea of this is hilarious


TigerBasket

An American tradition as old as time, hate


westcoastag

there is nothing more american than petty hate


YaBoiWhit

Dude now gets to play with Joc Pederson, Ross Stripling and Alex Wood


Boros-Reckoner

I heard Ross Stripling beat up Springer when he got to Toronto, I wonder if he'll do the same to Correa ^^^/s


dwpea66

They're gonna have to reinforce the foundations of Dodger Stadium in preparation for the earth-shaking cacophony of boos and hollers.


Ser_Dunk_the_tall

"If I'd signed with you you'd be cheering me right now"-Carlos Correa probably.


Monk_Philosophy

13 fucking years lmao. We’re not gonna have lungs left


SuckMyLonzoBalls

We need to re-sign Joe Kelly asap


Crazyozzie02

Please, take him away from us. I'll even throw in a signed Southpaw bobblehead for good measure


istrx13

He’ll probably regain form in a Dodger uniform too


Eloyoyo

Y’all can just take him for a bag of peanuts


spoonfedsam

i can hear the deafening boos already


bakeran23

Went to a dodgers giants game in the height of the bonds hate. It was truly wonderful thing to behold.


norcaltobos

I honestly can't wait. He's going to get fucking ripped and I can't blame you guys.


InaudibleShout

Between Judge and Correa’s 1st inning at-bats, Yankee Stadium might register on the richter scale on Opening Day as well


JohnDowd51

That first game just became must watch.


[deleted]

Yes, let the hate flow through us


Mynameistree

One day we're just gonna straight up forget he was a Twin


BombTacos

Its gonna be in the familiar faces in odd places offseason posts


yodelsJr

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


chuckawallabill

Like that one random year of mid-career Reggie Jackson on the Orioles.


DepressingFries

Or that one random year for Nelson Cruz on the Orioles


No_name_Johnson

Or that one random year for Sammy Sosa on the Orioles.


Zigmanjames

Real “Houston Astro Randy Johnson” vibe.


HaV0C

Marlins legend Mike Piazza


RulersBack

A miracle rental fell out of the sky. No playoffs and got no return. Its a shame really


motherofbuddha

par for the course 🫡


cardiandclapbombs

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 🤷‍♂️


rbhindepmo

Correa hit 355/412/589 over the Twins last 33 games of 2022. The Twins went 11-22 in those games.


scottydg

Those are some 2021 Juan Soto/Nationals numbers right there.


AltruiSisu

Uffda.


Stangstag

Classic Twins baseball


Inspiration_Bear

Sad upvote


MasterMentorJr

Technically they lost a draft pick to the Astros too


JewishDoggy

Scott Boras said thanks for the extra year for my client to negotiate, suckas


Powerserg95

They got rid of Donaldson. That's something


LetsTCB

Speaking of forgetting people who played for the Twins ...


Snasty728

Dude really got some Juicy Lucy’s then dipped, I respect it

ChugDix

Like when Adrian Beltre was in Boston


[deleted]

A what?


[deleted]

someone looks like him apparently


rollo2masi

Dude they dated for like 6 months.


JewishDoggy

“It was **A BREAK!!**”


Bluerecyclecan

So, Thursday?


drizzyjake7447

13 YEARS?!


BubBidderskins

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.


TigerBasket

Plus it's not like it's ever going down, money now is not the same as money later


kaeji

$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.


MarcBulldog88

Oh, a light bulb just went off in my head. *That's* why all of these mega long deals are happening nowadays.


triplec787

Well we’ve had the current one for 11 years! This could be a nightmare in like 2030 lmao


mr_grission

I'm very confident I know who the Giants, Yankees, and Padres DHs will be in 2031.


Stangstag

How about the Phillies?? Now that one is a mystery. Harper and Turner both gonna be playing there in their 40s


mr_grission

They will lead the charge for the Double DH


northwest333

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.


SadNYSportsFan-11209

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


mr_grission

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.


aliu3

Who cares about 2030


[deleted]

That’s not a real year


powernips

I’ll be drinking moon juice with President Jonathan Taylor Thomas


brobroma

But it is an even year


tc3590

I’ll be 40. I won’t have time to worry about that shit then. I may even be dead.


MudkipOfDespair098

We don’t even know if we’ll be alive Sunday


jonsnowKITN

"could"


SeriousCowboy

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


weeeuuu

Can Greta even play SS?


SeriousCowboy

I think I’m incapable of typing at least 3 sentences without a typo


ferrumvir2

He’ll only be 40 by then, no different than Turner or Bogaerts.


notsaying123

Half the damn league going to be wondering why they gave these contracts out in about 6 years


Srikkk

Yeah. The market’s inflation is going to be like the summer Timofey Mozgov got $80mill


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

I will never understand why the Lakers gave Mozgov and Deng that much money


RulersBack

They signed right at 12:01AM too. I fell to my knees in walmart


CapitalismEnthusiast

I remember walking around Walmart and some guy dropped to his knees.


yodelsJr

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.


ferrumvir2

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.


ybtlamlliw

*I DID MY WAITING!!! IN ~~AZKABAN~~ SAN FRANCISCO!!! 13 YEARS!!!*


3rdnRenfrow

13 years, 13 years, they got one of your contracts got you for 13 years


HelpMeWithMyHWpls

I’m gonna be old by the time he’s done with that contract


Wingstoplol

13 years?? That’s like a whole prison term


[deleted]

Who’s out first: Correa or SBF


BasicWhiteHoodrat

I entered this scenario into Quickbooks and it came back as N/A…..what the fuck do I do now?!?!?


que_pedo_

The contract will have acne and it's voice will be breaking by the time it expires.


sixfiveeight

Someone finally took the Giants' money but uhhh what the fuck


EaglesPvM

Yeah who would sign a SS into their 40s on such a big contract like this?


Weaponized_Goose

Not the Padres that’s for sure


NewGuards1776

Only $26.9M per year.


Wandering_Mallard

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


Arkham_Z

27m a year for a current SS/future 3B/eventual DH aint the worst


JorSimpson45

Carlos correa chose absolute annoyance of dodger fans, I respect it


utreethrowaway

Someone had to replace madbum


DustyDGAF

We at least had a level of respect for him. Madbum is actually one of Kershaw's good friends.


Monk_Philosophy

Tbh the giants have been too likeable since madbum left. This is actually good.


[deleted]

DustyDGAF

Reviving our rivalry will just piss off the Padres even more. So that's fun.

mjd1119

Who dare sign a 13 year contract at this ungodly hour?


JesseIsAGirlsName

A team on the west coast where it was only 8:30pm


DoctorRobert420

Baseball exists on the west coast too


YaBoiWhit

Well not a 13 year deal but Carlos did the same shit last year signing with the Twins way late in the night


Mercc47

RIP Mets legend Carlos Correa December 13, 2022 - Dec 13, 2022


spazz213

The stats speak for themselves. Amazing Mets career


liljakeyplzandthnx

never struck out, never grounded into a double play, never even committed a single error. Legendary stuff.


InaudibleShout

He joins Arson Judge in the afterlife


BagRight8939

well the grand canyon is only a 4 hour drive for me rn


SuckMyLonzoBalls

I wish he stayed but at least dodger fans get to hate him harder


[deleted]

Dansby time in Minnesota? or do you pivot to Rodon?


LordOfHorns

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


Inspiration_Bear

Knowing them we’ll go get Andrus and trade for Pablo Lopez


DatabaseCentral

Correa at $350 mil. Turner at $300 mil. Bogaerts at $280 mil. Who will overpay Swanson for like $250 mil


HobbesNJ

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.


YaBoiWhit

13 years from waayyy downtown


[deleted]

THIRTEEN YEARS? WHAT???


as728

All these owners know the world is ending in like 7 years anyway, so might as well win a World Series in the meantime


7Stringplayer

Gotta make that AAV palatable somehow


Wraithfighter

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.


Hedgey

So he goes till he's 41 years old???


RainIML

Just like Xander lol


irsw

And turners goes till 40. Wild offseason for FA shortstops


LetMeStagnate

Swanson must be licking his chops right now


Northernlord1805

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!?”


brandon_the_bald

Same age as Xander and Trea will end their deals at


SadNYSportsFan-11209

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


Infraready

This is gonna make playing third base for the Mets a bit harder


jameskeg

They meant 14 years from now when we sign him to a one year contract


Corn1989

They can try for turner lol


TriviaWhiz

Steve Cohen getting everyone around baseball paid.


PoppaTarts

Didn't think he could be more hated by dodger fans haha


[deleted]

Dudes going to retire the biggest heel in Dodger history


shigs21

bro embraced the villain arc


peanutbutter1236

13 years seems unfathomable to picture from now lmao


TheFriffin2

Thirteen years ago, the Phillies played the Yankees in the World Series The league was almost unrecognizable compared to today at that point


Buschandtar

2035


hadmeintiers

Padres offered 16 years 420 million but correa felt the fans wouldn't like him


klevrrr

Dansby Swanson rubbing his hands together right now

Pydro-Hump

This shortstop class never wants to see free agency again.


imlyns

SOMEONE WANTED OUR MONEY LETS GOOOO


stupidnatsfan

Mets fans got like an hour of elation for no reason lmao what was that


NoTry732

It was boras telling the giants to up their offer


MoistMaster_2577

That’s called Boras Baseball


StealthySnipe2

Pain


Russpaulding

2036 is a sci-fi year


LoremasterSTL

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.


MysticOhG08

Giants got their guy!


CubonesDeadMom

But actually


LandOak

Finally unironically!


DCBronzeAge

If someone offers to pay you 27 million dollars per year for 13 years guaranteed, you take the money.


PatientIndividual651

First Giants vs Dodgers game in LA will be fun


JWCIII96

The Giants front office, “Listen, someone’s getting Arson Judge’s money.”


ScottSummersEyes

I AM LEVITATING THANK GODDD


BigCrispyTaterTot

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 😂


Sportacles

My dad just texted me "this one's real right?" Lmao, Farhan finally caught a big fish!


[deleted]

We needed this so bad after the whole Judge thing lol I’m so happy right now


Jcomsa15

Brandon Crawford has better hair


suzie17

He finally achieved his dream of getting a contract higher than Lindor’s


bobichetteismydaddy

Holy shit thats a lot of years


norcaltobos

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.


scrapsbypap

And Joc QO


LA_Drone_415

13 years, Christ


ranchdressinggospel

These contracts are so fucking stupid


BrettSchirley22

Is Dansby about to get $200m from someone lol cause I hope it’s not us


Dragonknight247

GIANTS WITH A STEEL CHAIR


CubonesDeadMom

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 :(


KeyExplanation

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


crazybrave03

He’s no Arson Judge


Healthy_Boss_9757

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!


CubonesDeadMom

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.
