Steve Young hilariously finds out about shocking Correa news

If you've been living under a rock for the last 24 hours, chances are you have not heard the latest news regarding superstar shortstop Carlos Correa. 

Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young assumed Correa was a Giant, only to be stunned when he found out about the latest development regarding Correa's reported 12-year, $315 million contract with the New York Mets live during his appearance on KNBR 680's "Tolbert & Copes" on Wednesday.

As Young was signing off after a long conversation about the 49ers, host Tom Tolbert snuck in one last question, asking him what he thought about the latest Correa news. 

"Why not? There was a couple of names I was hoping for, but OK," Young said of the Giants' initial agreement with Correa. 

"Oh no ...," Host Adam Copeland said after realizing Young was unaware of what transpired late Tuesday night. 

"No no, he's not here Steve!" Host Tom Tolbert interjected.

"...What?" Young said in disbelief. "What? I went to Green Bay and back, you're telling me in the time I went to Green Bay and back in the two days that we lost him?"

Young, who appears to be a Giants fan to some degree, did not take the news lightly. The Hall of Fame quarterback was in disbelief that Correa spurned a fellow Bay Area team. 

"Christ," Young scoffed. "Two things: One, clearly I've been deep into Christmas, because you guys are breaking news. So that's great, I really look smart on that one. The second thing is ... what the hell? No! No! We don't roll that way, you don't reject us like that. That's not how we roll, we land guys like you, you don't head-fake us."

As hilarious as Young's reaction is, it's probably a lot less colorful than the reactions of many angry Giants fans.
