Farhan Zaidi and the SFGiants went big like they never have before, agreeing to a 13-year, $350 million deal with Carlos Correa.
about $200 million above that spree this time around, and they still have two months left in their offseason. With Correa, Joc Pederson, Mitch Haniger, Sean Manaea and Ross Stripling, the Giants have committed $463.15 million to five veteran free agents. While their big shopping is done, they still expect to add to their bullpen and potentially find one more outfielder.
The Giants have spent years clearing their books for this day and they didn't shy away from high expectations as the offseason approached. Chairman Greg Johnson said in September that the organization was well aware of Aaron Judge and the four shortstops that led this year's free agent class, and the first weeks of the offseason were spent chasing Judge.over nine years, easily eclipsing the $310 million they offered Bryce Harper in 2019.
Under Zaidi and a revamped front office, the Giants had not committed more than $50 million to a player until Tuesday, even with the earlier additions this offseason. At $350 million, Correa is guaranteed nearly three times the previous franchise record for a free agent and $260 million more than the previous high for a position player .Because the contract is stretched out over 13 years, though, the average annual value is not as high as most similar contracts. Correa is due $26.
For a moment on Tuesday, the Mets were rumored to be after Correa. He wasn't a need for them, but under Steve Cohen, the Mets have spent freely in an effort to build a contender for 2023 and beyond. With their latest splash, the Giants have finally joined that party.
