13 years, $350 Million.    He'll be 41 when this contract ends.   Not sure why SF would go that long with a big money player.  His production is bound to not be worth the money those last few seasons.

I think that depends on a lot of factors. This deal could be very front loaded (I have no idea) and 13 years from now, with the trajectory of baseball salary, it may not be "crazy money" at all.

Ruining baseball.  

Correa pulls the midnight stunner and opts to sign with the Mets instead.  I think I saw 12 years, $315 mil.

As a Braves fan, I may have uttered an expletive when I woke up to this news.

This is just a gut feeling, but I think the Giants panicked when they didn't land Judge.  Agreed with Correa and immediately had buyers remorse for that price.   Correa opted to go with the Mets who are clearly not worried about money as they try and out Yankee the Yankees.

Apparently talks with the Mets flamed out so he's in negotiations to resign in Minnesota.  I think I saw 6 years $200M

At this rate, he'll be on the Reds soon.

Ok, maybe not.

This has to be the craziest free agency saga I can remember in any sport at any time.

Certainly.   This rivals Bill Belichick coaching the Jets for like 2 days before bolting to NE.
