Gary Perone, a newly minted general manager, can do something right now that his 30 Major League Baseball equivalents cannot.

He can call Scott Boras and discuss Carlos Correa.

“If he wants to play, I’ll give him a contract right now,” a laughing Perone, who runs the Staten Island FerryHawks, told The Post of Correa. “He doesn’t have to wait for this thing to be over.”

Odds are Correa, the free-agent shortstop, will endure Rob Manfred’s lockout — the rules of which prevent club officials from engaging anyone who occupied a 40-man-roster spot at the conclusion of last season — and land big bucks somewhere in MLB. For all of the success of the Atlantic League, which is adding the FerryHawks as an expansion franchise, it can’t quite match its parent league when it comes to club payrolls.
