MINNEAPOLIS — The reaction when it was revealed on Dec. 20 that agent Scott Boras had rebounded from San Francisco's cold feet on the signing of Carlos Correa to land a similar deal with the New York Mets was two-fold:
Reports were that Boras outflanked the reluctant Giants simply by making a call to Steve Cohen in Hawaii, where the Mets' wild-spending owner was having dinner.
Much like when he called the Twins in mid-March 2021, right before the start of the delayed spring training, and asked, "Do you want Correa for one year?'' Boras apparently asked Cohen, "Do you want Correa?''
