I'd guess something along these lines, since we all know Boras isn't going to say "sure, let's just lop off some years and tens of millions"!

I can’t find any source to confirm if he did or didn’t actually sign a contract. If he hasn’t officially signed not sure what Boras can really say or do. They could walk away like San Francisco.

Cohen said it was a done deal publicly, bad form and unusual for ownership to say that before the ink is dry, Boras might use that as a bargaining chip.

Correa was dressed and ready for his press conference when SF announced the deal was off.

Yes but ownership didn't publicly say it was a done deal up to that point.

I think that’s semantics. Did they have to if there was a press announcement scheduled and in his mind he was still appearing at it?
