Yes, chicken. The Boras camp thinks that the $ is just spare change to Cohen, who ultimately will buy what he wants. But Cohen didn’t become a 15 billionaire by being taken advantage of in business deals. He doesn’t want future targets to regard him as willing to meet any inflated price tag. And there is no looming deadline to resolve the impasse because spring training is still more than a month away.
This is Boras being Boras. I find it hard to believe there’s another team willing to sign Correa to a contract that large. And if it’s a shorter term with a higher AAV, then why hasn’t he already signed with the Mets, where he wants to be? Perhaps it’s time for the Mets to walk away and see if Boras blinks. I believe Correa needs the Mets more than the Mets need Correa.
