He dropped baseball and physical.<\/p>\n<p>The game is sick and sick.  Correa Caper is just a symptom. The San Francisco Giants certainly have a problem, but MLB has a bigger ailment. let&#8217;s discuss.<\/p>\n<div id=\"paywall\">    <!-- Missed: ad --><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Giants fans and members of the Bay Area sports media honored the 2022 Niger Craze Awards in response to news that the Giants had terminated their contract with Correa. If you&#8217;ve been in that angry mob, you know how horribly overreacted you were, but don&#8217;t hit too hard because the Giants are setting you up.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Did the Giants physically check Herschel Walker before the team&#8217;s primary owner invested heavily in Walker&#8217;s US Senate campaign? It was widely believed that it was because he could not bear to spend the money. Meanwhile, Charles Johnson, majority owner of the Giants, spends freely to support election deniers and conspiracy theorists. .<\/p>\n<p>Giant owners can pay generous bucks to those who believe in vicious space lasers, but it&#8217;s cheaper to buy a real Shortstop.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 It may be a new term for someone as good as Correa.  &#8220;He has space lasers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Your kneeler was right about one thing: The Giants&#8217; deafening silence was stupid and infuriating. They were not able to comment on medical care, but Front Office voice Farhan Zaidi had to say. <em>Something<\/em>Hiding is never the right strategy unless you&#8217;ve just robbed a bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What Zaidi could have said on the day the deal fell through: Exactly what he said Friday about the Correa snafu at the Zoom press conference for Taylor Rogers&#8217; signing.<\/p>\n<p>        <!-- Missed: ad --><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 However, if you&#8217;re standing by Correa&#8217;s agent Scott Boras, you&#8217;d be embarrassed to kneel. He has two reasons why his story should have been considered at least overshadowed.  One is that he is an agent. Second, he&#8217;s Scott Boras.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Boras shared a heartwarming anecdote. He said that when the Giants rejected Correa and Boras immediately signed him to a contract with the Mets, Correa was so agitated that the St. So Correa must have said something like this: <em>Scott, you are a genius! The Giants deal fell through, but instead of buying me, you agreed to a deal that would pay me $35 million less than his. <\/em>plus<em> Can&#8217;t play shortstop anymore? i love you man!<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 I don&#8217;t think Boras is even a doctor, so he shouldn&#8217;t have nodded when he mocked the Giants for their ridiculous concern for Correa&#8217;s leg. what does he knowFor Boras <em>teeth<\/em> A real doctor, he&#8217;s the kind of doctor who tells you, &#8220;You&#8217;re fat,&#8221; and, &#8220;I want a second opinion,&#8221; and says, &#8220;OK, you&#8217;re ugly too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Twins fan website Twins Daily headline: &#8216;Predict the next organization to sign and exit Carlos Correa&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 By the way, what is your physical purpose before signing?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Correa Caper shines a stark spotlight on major baseball ailments. Our national pastime is the only sport in America that has been ruled by a privileged minority and allowed to become a pure oligarchy.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 In what other sport does the highest-spending team pay six or seven times the salary of the lowest-spending team? set a record for the longest distance between Joe Lacob makes more money than every other NBA team owner, but not by a 7-to-1 margin.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"article--content-inline\">\n<aside class=\"zone\"\/><\/aside>\n<p><!-- Missed: ad --><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The NFL was unbalanced. San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo has built a dynasty in part due to his willingness to spare more money than other team owners. He loved winning more than money. That was great for 49ers fans, but bad for football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 MLB players don&#8217;t want a salary cap. I can&#8217;t blame them. But there needs to be a way to balance the system so that team owners&#8217; willingness to spend isn&#8217;t the primary factor in winning games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Mets owner Steve Cohen doesn&#8217;t matter. He didn&#8217;t invent the system, he simply loves to win and is willing to take advantage of a highly exploitable system with extravagant spending.  A&#8217;s owner John Fischer&#8217;s ownership hurts baseball, but baseball enables Fischer by such a stupid system.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Analytics are also a problem. It&#8217;s a problem, mainly for a team like the Giants. A few years ago, the Giants decided to save money by outsmarting their rivals and outsmarting their analysis. So they recruited his Zaidi, an analytics-savvy leader. They will win without big players. It didn&#8217;t work. Steve Cohen also hires someone to do the math.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u201cIt&#8217;s been a real roller coaster ride for the Correa family,\u201d said Boras a week ago.<\/p>\n<p><em>Scott Ostler is a columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle.
