Mets and $333 Million Dollar payroll

[packs]

Why would the Mets or the Giants want to work with Minnesota to save them money on a player all three teams want?

I could be wrong, but I suspect that this was all about the insurability of the contract as it went into those 7th, 8th+ years

Define 'want' thats a relative term. Marlins wanted him as well. All about price and terms. Mets and Giants did not want him in the way and terms that Twins wanted him.

Like a mansion thats 'worth' 30 million but on sale for 10 million. its a great deal but I still cant buy it even if want it. Wanting is not enough, depends on price and terms.

I define "want" in this instance as an announcement they had a deal with the player.

Announcement is not a deal, you 'buy' a house its in escrow.. you do inspection, and then you dont want the house. I believe they usually say deal "pending physical' By not going through with the deal, it would appear they did not 'want' the player at a certain price..

Twenty seven teams didn't announce a deal with Correa. Three teams did. Those are the teams I see as being in the Correa market.

agree, in the market doesnt mean want at any price

can be a mansion worth 18 million but for sale for 3 million....i want the mansion but i cant afford it..

im sure all the teams 'wanted' correa at the right price. doesnt matter if announcing a deal pending physical or not....
