I don't think it was Fake nor a PR stunt. $280 M is a huge offer.That's fine if we didn't want to pay Correa but we all knew that is what it was going to take. My issue isn't with going another direction, my issue is that I believe our attempt at Correa was fake, a PR stunt. Because we didn't really want to pay market rates for Correa, we are now stuck with the worst possible option at SS.
I think Howie said it, but I'd have much preferred Urshela - Polanco - Arraez to what we have now.
Unfortunately it only takes 1 team to outbid you and then it's done. Once the Giants pivoted after failing to land Judge, the writing was on the wall. Up to that point, I think the Twins bid was an earnest attempt to land Correa.
Didn't work.
