Boras says Giants had ‘reasonable time’ on Correa, team cites difference in opinion
The ongoing Carlos Correa saga has taken one other flip in what has been a wild 24 hours.
Following the surprising news of Correa’s 12-year, $315 million cope with the New York Mets Wednesday morning, Scott Boras — who serves as Correa’s agent — in addition to San Francisco Giants normal supervisor Farhan Zaidi, launched statements on the matter.
Boras, by no means one to draw back from the highlight and trigger a stir, didn’t mince phrases when explaining why issues went unsuitable.
“We reached an agreement. We had a letter of agreement. We gave them a time frame to execute it, they advised us they still had questions,” Boras stated by way of Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. “I said ‘Look, I’ve given you a reasonable time. We need to move forward on this.”
Evidently, Correa and Boras did precisely that, signing a cope with Steve Cohen’s New York Mets simply hours after a postponed press convention at Oracle Park deliberate for Tuesday.
The Giants, in response, launched their very own assertion on the matter, divulging far much less on the tumultuous and sudden finish to the negotiations.
“While we are prohibited from disclosing confidential medical information, as Scott Boras stated publicly, there was a difference of opinion over the results of Carlos’ physical examination,” Zaidi stated by way of assertion. “We wish Carlos the best.”

There’s been no phrase on precisely what brought about the deal to collapse. However, a historical past of again points courting again to 2018 for Correa, in addition to a leg damage from 2014, are reportedly the most definitely to have been flagged by the Giants.
