Since it was never clear to me that this was even a good idea, I’m certainly not worked up over the possibility of it not happening. if it does fall apart, it seems pretty likely that Correa is going to have to give up on the idea of a double-digit-year contract with anyone.
He clearly didn't want to go back to the Twins, and he clearly wanted at least 10 years guaranteed, so it will be fun to see how Boras spins this as a positive outcome for Correa. I suspect that the Mets, like the Giants (and now like the Twins), couldn't get insurance for a double-digit-year contract. It's more interesting to me that they supposedly weren't willing to go past roughly $26 million per year guaranteed on a six-year deal.
I kind of don’t think that the baseball people on the team didn’t really want him and it was Boras sweet talking Cohen into it and it was up to the team to talk him out of it. If we really wanted him they would have went the 6 yrs but $ amount a hint above Minnesota.
Already have a feeling it’s going to be a super frustrating year at the DH spot. These rookies better produce or we are going to have the same issues as last year.

I'm sorry but this isn't good for the game. The build up, the tension was a special part of the game. Also if they are trying to make games 2hrs that will make me not go to games. I'm not gonna spend all that money to go to the park and be rushed! I can see myself falling out of love with this sport.
The worst possible outcome as a result of this moronic spring training tournament - Edwin Diaz gets the save to win it for Puerto Rico over the Dominican Republic, and as the players are jumping up and down in celebration, he collapses on the field with a right knee injury. This season is turning into a disaster before it even starts. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...-ousts-favored-dominican-republic-advance-wbc
