Everyone knows the backend of these contracts are not economical for the team, so it seems that the Mets and Correa could have come to terms for a shorter contract that was more front-loaded ala what ultimately came to pass with Minnesota, IMO.

I think its sour grapes at that point that correa wouldnt want to give mets or SF a much better deal as they brilliantly already put him in a place to take less now with Minn, didnt want to return them, who knows..

but i know i have made an offer on a house, and the seller said it was too low and raised his price...6 months later sold for less than i offered, why didnt the owner contact me since i offered more.....sour grapes..
