Now next offseason, that money will go to Boras. Because Correa switched representation mid-offseason, his old agent would have been the beneficiary of whatever contract he signed. There is also the Scott Boras wrinkle to this, as it had been reported that Correa’s new agent would stand to benefit greatly from him signing a one-year deal. He will have no qualifying offer attached and also could enjoy a better market in an offseason that isn’t interrupted by a lockout.

If Correa plays the same way he did last season, the shortstop will hit free agency again next year at the ripe age of 28. Correa can opt out of his contract after each season, allowing himself the security of a three-year pact, but the flexibility to hit the open market again after a strong season.
Still, the chances of Correa actually playing out this entire contract is rather slim, as it really is a one-year deal masquerading as a three-year one. He likely wanted to receive $35 million a year over a long-term contract, but when that wasn’t available, he instead takes it over the next three seasons. Short March 19, 2022Ĭorrea’s new contract provides him ultimate flexibility to maximize his earning potential over the next couple of years. Still think it’s a pretty good outcome for him. Seeing a lot of “my team could have offered this,” which is true in many cases, but Correa got that record AAV and ability to opt out after each season.
