SB Nation Reacts: Most followers don’t belief the Correa contract

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of followers throughout MLB. All year long we ask questions of probably the most plugged-in followers throughout the nation. Join right here to take part within the weekly emailed surveys.

Carlos Correa’s offseason has been not like another for one participant in current historical past. One of many largest free brokers accessible heading into the new range season, Correa was introduced as a signing for 3 completely different groups.

In the long run, he completed proper the place he began, returning to the Minnesota Twins. However the failed physicals that prevented contracts with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets are probably the most stunning occasions of the offseason. There are extra questions now than when every little thing began.

On the middle of the problem was Correa’s ankle, which has a plate in it from a minor league surgical procedure. Regardless of having not induced any points within the shortstop’s main league profession to this point, the chance was too daunting for the Giants or Mets to signal Correa to the big contracts that had been agreed upon. The query was clear, do the Mets and Giants know one thing the Twins don’t – or did they overthink the state of affairs?

In accordance with the most recent SB Nation Reacts survey, the reply isn’t that straightforward. Followers from across the nation had been requested if they’d really feel snug if their favourite crew signed Correa. Lower than 50 p.c mentioned they’d be on board.

However making issues extra complicated, it doesn’t seem the outdated damage is the problem. Roughly two thirds of followers mentioned they didn’t assume the ankle can be an issue within the subsequent two seasons. That means the issue had extra to do with Correa as a participant and the dimensions and size of the contract.

That was backed up by how followers really feel in regards to the free agent choices from this offseason. When requested which signee was probably the most impactful, Correa completed with solely the fourth most votes.

Aaron Choose, who returned to the New York Yankees, completed effectively forward of the sphere with greater than a 3rd of the vote. He was adopted by Trea Turner and Justin Verlander earlier than Correa.

Be looking out for the following survey, with outcomes coming later this week.
