This is the baseball tonight podcast for Wednesday, December 21st, 2022, and today will be better than yesterday.

Quite literally, Sarah. Sarah Abbott's producing from the hangar because we'll let listeners behind the curtain.

We had a show pretty much built already. Like we just needed one more element that you and I needed to tape today.

I taped some elements with with Taylor yesterday and everything blew up with the news we got overnight.

It was chaos. I like checked my phone saw Twitter was going crazy and then right off the bat. We were like, okay, we got it.

We got to take two on this.

Yeah, that's right. Carlos Corea has an agreement in place with the New York Mets on a 12 year, $350 million deal.

And that's after an introductory press conference with the giants after he reached the deal there 13 years and $350 million.

Blue up. We don't know as we take this exactly why that didn't happen. I certainly, you know, through the years going into his free agency have heard concerns about Carlos Corea's back.

That he, you know, that he needed treatment in the mornings of the games that he got treatment before games at the ballpark that he would be uncomfortable at times when he was flying.

I don't know if that's the reason why I know that's a lot of the speculation this morning. We'll get more information on that but Carlos Corea is not with the giants.

He'll be signing with the New York Mets to play third base alongside Francisco and door absolutely reminds me that morning that we found out that Alex Rodriguez.

I was going to sign with the Yankees to play alongside Derek Jeter, a lot of conversation coming up about all that we call ravage will have Sarah Langs will have Paul, him, the keys as well.

Some other deals that have taken place since our last show the cups and shortstop dance be swanson agreed to a deal seven years, $177 million.

Michael Brantley worked out a deal with Houston Astros one year, $12 million and your band and 10 signs of the white sucks five years, $75 million.

Just in turn, her gets two years, $22 million with red socks JD Martinez, one year, $10 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers Trevor May, a one year, $7 million deal with the athletics.

The brave sign outfield Jordan Lucklow to a one year, $1.4 million deal, Sam full gun extension is general manager, the Philadelphia Phillies, they announced the early season Sunday night baseball schedule.

One of those is actually between the Mets and the giants in San Francisco Clay and Kershaw is going to pitch in the world baseball classic but Sarah everything today that we're talking about feels like it's about Carlos Corea.

I just love it. I love the drama. I love the excitement. It's a baseball is the best in the words of Sarah links.

Right, exactly and I know you have a comparison I want to hear that you want to make about the career, machinations, how it looked like he's going to go to the giants, he's steady winds up for the Mets will hear those later in the show. What else you got?
