Twitter reacts to Giants signing Carlos Correa to massive deal

The next chapter of San Francisco Giants baseball will be authored by Carlos Correa.

Correa, the all-world shortstop, reportedly agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal with the Giants. In an offseason at risk of coming and going without any fireworks, the Giants found their next franchise cornerstone.

Correa is a two-time All-Star, platinum glove winner and World Series champion. He’s hit 155 home runs in his eight seasons and holds career splits of .279/.357/.467.

Twitter erupted after the news broke on Tuesday night.

With the Carlos Correa deal, Giants have guaranteed more than $463 million over the past month. Their previous high for an offseason was about $250 million (Cueto, Samardzija, Span).

The Giants are all of a sudden having a huge offseason: Carlos Correa, Joc Pederson, Mitch Haniger, Ross Stripling, Sean Manaea. They are still looking for bullpen help, but the heavy lifting is done.

In the history of baseball, two players have gotten 13-year deals. Carlos Correa and Bryce Harper. The Giants tried for both.

We all wanted something — *something!!* — to get excited about. The #SFGiants landing a 28 yo SS with a glove and a bat and charisma and leadership and a resume of pissing off the Dodgers … if you ain't excited, you be the Grinch, baby.

I will be 58 years old when Carlos Correa is not being paid by the Giants. That's how old Marisa Tomei and Keanu Reeves are. I'm fine. All of this is fine. They're great. I'm great.
