Sean Pendergast has four thoughts on the Carlos Correa free agency epic tale.

It's hard to feel sorry for someone whose last two MLB offseasons have resulted in what amounted to a one-year, $35 million contract with the Twins, and then a subsequent six-year, $200 million contract with those same Twins, but I do feel a bit for Carlos Correa and the patience and big emotional swings he's had to show and endure.
A year ago, Correa had to sit through the lockout and wait until March to land on a three-year, $105 million deal with the Twins, and then over the last month, he's agreed to record breaking deals with the Giants and Mets, had each of them scuttled by medical concerns of his surgically repaired right leg, before getting a deal with the Twins bout half as long and a little more than half as much as the deals he agreed to with the Giants and Mets.
Again, I don't feel sorry for someone whose consolation prize is $200 million, and thus, I am perfectly fine with snark like this in describing the Correa contractual saga this winter: Congratulations to Carlos Correa on signing three of the top 35 MLB contracts of all time. What an offseason!See, that's funny! I would imagine even Correa himself will be able to sit back and laugh at this whole thing someday, once he's done counting all of the $150 million guarantee he lost in the process.
