Carlos Correa landed with the San Francisco Giants in the latest MLB free agency blockbuster, agreeing to a gargantuan 13-year, $350 million contract with the club. While he's not Aaron Judge, Correa is a big-time postseason performer and arguably the best shortstop in baseball when healthy. He's a big-time acquisition.
So big-time that Giants players were bound to have some good reactions to the news. Relief pitcher Tyler Rogers was certainly one of them. Rogers was in the gym when he heard the Carlos Correa news and had this amusing reaction, per MLB Network Radio on Twitter.
