I'm of the belief that enough teams are going to get burned badly by these long deals that a correction will happen eventually. Somewhere in the Giants front office, the phrase "Holy shite, we still have to pay Correa for nine more seasons" will be said in 2027. The Padres will have the same feeling about the Tatis deal (albeit this one is very, very different as this was a young player being extended).

Kind of related I guess, but I saw a post comparing Trea Turner and Correa statistically and was pretty surprised at how comparable Correa has been statistically to Turner and at a younger age. I didn't really think Turner was way better, but Turner gets way more attention because hes played on large market teams.

Yeah, people keep saying this and conventional wisdom says this will happen, but it just never does. As long as the TV dollars roll in and the franchise values continue to increase, the contracts will as well.

Maybe. But I was saying that 10 years ago amidst a rash of bad contracts but nothing has changed.
