Giants, Carlos Correa agree to 13-year, $350M deal, sources say
Shortstop Carlos Correa and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a 13-year, $350 million contract, a record-long deal that is the richest ever for the position and gives the team a franchise-type player around which it plans to build, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.
The free agent path of Correa, 28, was far less circuitous than last year, when he entered the market in hopes of landing a $300 million-plus deal but wound up signing a shorter-term contract with the Minnesota Twins that included an opt-out after the first season. This offseason, Correa found a market that lavished $300 million on Trea Turner and $280 million on Xander Bogaerts far more to his liking, and he wound up with the second-biggest deal, behind Aaron Judge's nine-year, $360 million contract with the New York Yankees.
The 13 years ties Bryce Harper's $330 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies in March 2019, and like Harper, Correa received a full no-trade clause and a contract without any opt-outs, sources said.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
FWIW, Tyler Rogers' identical twin brother (i.e. Taylor) is also on the Giants. He's a left handed reliever that throws (basically) overhand, etc.

Former Giants manager Baker eyeing return to organization
Former Giants manager Dusty Baker is eying a return to the organization.

A familiar face could return to the Giants organization in 2024, in what has been a common theme this offseason.
After hiring Bay Area native and former Giants catcher Bob Melvin as the next manager, San Francisco brought back former outfielder Pat Burrell as the hitting coach and former third baseman Matt Williams as the third base coach.
Former Giants manager Dusty Baker joined 95.7 The Game's Jason Dumas and F.P. Santangelo on "Willard & Dibs" Friday, where he discussed his retirement after stepping down as Houston Astros manager after the 2023 MLB season and shared that he's had conversations with Giants CEO Larry Baer about a possible return to the organization in some capacity.
"I'm also actually talking to the Giants," Baker told Dumas and Santangelo. "I talked to Larry Baer the other day about the possibility of maybe even joining them and so we just have to see how things work out for all of us.
"They're preliminary talks. Like I said, I talked to Larry. I'm awaiting to talk to Farhan [Zaidi]. They do have a team here in Sacramento where I am, the River Cats team ... We'll see if we can work things out family-wise and time-wise and all kinds of ways. Like I said, we're just having preliminary talks. We'll see how things work out."
It remains to be seen what role Baker could have with the Giants, but the mention of the organization's Triple-A affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats, could hint at the possibility of a role at the minor-league level.
