Carlos Correa is a San Francisco Giant. There’s a sentence hardly anyone expected to ever see.
The Giants made the move they needed to make, securing a star player to be the face of the franchise they’ve lacked since Buster Posey called it quits. While he doesn’t quite have the cache of Aaron Judge, Correa is a young, outstanding player with a likeable, engaging personality — the ideal choice to build a team (and marketing campaign) around.
And while the years and money may seem insane on the surface, the deal absolutely makes sense. Correa is a perfect fit for the Giants, for their team-building philosophy, for their future and for their fans.
