I honestly can’t see how Correa is the one who wanted to pull out of this somehow because of the competitive situation of the Giants. Other than Carlos Rodon not re-signing with them, what changed between when he agreed to terms and late last night? It’s not like the Giants medical staff wouldn’t have had a chance to review his prior medical records before putting out their ultimate offer. The Giants got cold feet and wanted to change those previously agreed upon terms.
It’s a weird situation, but I think it was ownership not wanting to pay Correa as much because of whatever came out of the physical and tried to low ball Correa/Boras.
Something that I’d be curious about is if Boras called up the Twins (and any other teams that had been serious suitors) and gave them one last chance. So help me, if we didn’t get him in the end because Falvey/Levine had Do Not Disturb turned on….
