Brandon Crawford, the most decorated shortstop in San Francisco Giants history, might have a right to be critical in the wake of the Carlos Correa situation after the organization’s $350 million offer to a man who would have taken over his position. But on Friday, Crawford characteristically took the high road in his comments to The Chronicle.\n<\/p>\n
In a wild series of events early this week with the Giants’ anticipated signing Correa, the team informed Crawford he would be moving to another position, only to take the Correa offer off the table because of an issue with his physical exam.<\/p>\n
That made Crawford, a four-time Gold Glover, three-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion \u2014 and a player who finished fourth in National League MVP voting two years ago \u2014 the Giants’ shortstop again.<\/p>\n
Admittedly surprised by the circumstances, Crawford was willing to adjust accordingly.<\/p>\n
\u201cBottom line is my feelings in all this don’t really matter,\u201d he said via text. \u201cWas I a little caught off guard when I found out about the agreement? Yes, definitely.<\/p>\n
\u201cWas I even more surprised when I found out (Correa) was not signing with us and signing with the Mets? Totally. We would’ve been a better team with a player of his caliber no matter what my role would’ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n
