After each of the first two years, opt-outs have been included in the contract. Bellinger, 28, will make $30 million in each of his first two seasons and $20 million in his final year if he sticks around for three years. Bellinger left LA in 2022. Previously, it had been reported that Scott Boras, the player's representative, had been lobbying for a "package worth more than $200 million," but MLB executives were reluctant to deal with such demands for a player with ongoing injury problems in recent years.

Pete Alonso, the Mets' slugger, has reportedly recruited baseball superstar Scott Boras ahead of his contract season, fueling rumors that the All-Star first baseman will be traded in the coming months or leave as a free agent in 2024. Jon Heyman of the New York Post announced on Thursday morning that Alonso is now recruiting BorasCorp to represent him. It's a sad news for Mets fans who may have wished to see Alonso resign before being spotted on the free agent market following the 2024 season. Boras, baseball's most popular agent, has long opposed to signing extensions in players' walking years.

According to NBC Sports, the Giants officials were concerned about a specific injury that he sustained when he was a 19-year-old prospect with the Houston Astros. The injury necessitated surgery to fix a fractured right fibula and ligament damage. 'You're talking about a player who has appeared in eight major-league seasons,' Correa's agent Scott Boras said. 'There are items in his medical history that occurred decades ago.' These are all speculative dynamics.'

'They're doing it today,' Boras told reporters on Thursday.' While negotiating Correa to the Giants in the Bay Area, the Bay Area's most valuable sports agent revealed that he didn't sleep for two days. 'Well, I attended Nimmo's press conference and then flew to San Francisco to work on Carlos', but I can tell you that I didn't use one for two days and then we had to deal with it.' The 70-year-old had quickly gotten to work finding new suitors, but New York's $315 million, 12-year contract was enough to lure Correa to the Big Apple instead.
