The Giants only look bad now because they didn't land a franchise player in the off season. Balking at signing a $350 million dollar contract over health concerns is actually smart. Let's see what the Mets find in their medical exam.

Correa is 28. The peak age of performance for baseball is 29, after that there is a decline. I thought the deal sucked from a GM point of view. Put $350 million in the minor league system and you'll do better. Besides, Correa's 5+ WAR is not going to improve the Giants position that much, and that WAR is likely to decline. 3 years from now when Correa's producing 2+ WAR the deal will look like an albatross.

Let the Mets have their next Bonilla and walk away smiling!
