Carlos Correa wouldn’t have fixed all the Giants’ problems. But the free-agency leap could have been a catalyst to bring more talent to a Giants team mired in mediocrity, and perhaps get a few more fans back at Oracle Park.
But after a disagreement over a medical issue, Correa’s camp and agent Scott Boras reversed course and escaped at the midnight hour on Tuesday, coming to terms on a 12-year, $315 million deal with the spend-happy New York Mets. Now the Giants are left with egg on their face, not only with raised questions about the future of this franchise, but without many options to bolster their roster for the 2023 season.
Can the Giants make any moves this offseason that move the needle? Or will they continue to postpone a marquee offseason until they luck out and finally land the elusive big fish?
