re: SF Giants land Correa

What’s Ohtani going to get?

11/$550M or so.

Well now they get to see him 19 times a year for the next 13 years.
----Knowing Correa's injury history, more like 3 times a year for the next 5 years.

It’s a better deal for the team than the 10 year, $325 million deal Corey Seager got from the Rangers and certainly the 10 year, $341 million deal Lindor got from the Mets.

Yes, deferred contracts are worse for the player ( time value ), but better for the team and the agent ( assuming they get their whole cut upfront).

The Mets and Bobby Bonilla would disagree

Bonilla would have been much better off getting only 50% of that money, but all up front or even in the first few years.
