Would SF Giants have really been better off with Carlos Correa?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:32:52 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS — Consider the alternate reality in which the Giants signed Carlos Correa. His ankle was a nonissue. The prematurely scheduled press conference actually took place on that Tuesday before Christmas. For the next 10 years, he would wear “San Francisco” across his chest, at an average annual rate of $35 million.Would Correa have already heard boos from fans at Oracle Park? Would the youth movement, namely Casey Schmitt, that has invigorated the Giants over the past two weeks have arrived yet? Would J.D. Davis and Thairo Estrada have emerged as All-Star caliber players, if a 36-year-old Brandon Crawford was instead taking up one of the spots at second or third base?The Giants just might be asking themselves these questions — and breathing a sigh of relief — as they began a three-game series Monday in Minnesota.Correa re-signed with the Twins at a discounted rate a few weeks after his introductory press conference in San Francisco was abruptly called off. The Gian...

They did not have a third quarterback to dress, however. Jimmy Garoppolo was ruled out two days earlier, as he’d yet to practice since breaking his foot Dec. 4. Also, the 49ers waived Jacob Eason from their practice squad Jan. 3, prior to the regular-season finale.Purdy, who’d won eight games since replacing Garoppolo, got hurt on the 49ers’ opening possession, with his ulnar collateral li...
