Return of the ex

Giants 7, Twins 1

On the day Carlos Correa finally showed up to Oracle Park, the current Giants shortstop outshined the almost Giants shortstop.

Brett Wisely finished a homer short of the cycle. Correa did not. That's where the comparisons start and end between Brett Wisely and Carlos Correa.

What happened 19 short months ago, when Correa learned from his San Francisco hotel room he wouldn't be signing his $350 million contract, should live forever in Giants lore. But will it?

Arson Judge certainly will. As will losing Ohtani to the Dodgers. Even Bryce Harper felt closer to being a Giant than Correa, the only guy on this list who actually agreed to sign.

The Giants were the runaway brides on their wedding day. Will they regret it? A $350 million commitment to someone who's not a top-10 player is extreme. But instead of Correa the Giants are trotting out ... Brett Wisely and Tyler Fitzgerald.

It won’t take you 13 years to decide who the better option is right now.

Up next: Hayden Birdsong (1-0, 4.40 ERA) takes the mound again, facing Simeon Woods Richardson (3-1, 3.48 ERA) at 4:15 p.m. as the Giants go for the series win.
