Mets Gaining Momentum Toward Deal With Carlos Correa
2 years agoThe New York Mets and the representatives for free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa continue to negotiate contract details after the team cited an issue with his physical following the 12-year, $315 million agreement in hopes of finally getting something done. It's been more than two weeks since Correa and the Mets initially agreed on a deal. There are no assurances at this point, but Correa's agent Scott Boras appears to only be talking with the Mets now, fueling the belief that a new deal is likely to get done with the Mets. The terms (12 years, $315 million) may be unlikely to change much, if at all, but the Mets have made it clear they are intent on diminishing their risk via important language additions and/or alterations. A surgery that Correa had on his ankle in 2014 while in the minors is what has come into question, although he hasn't had issues with the specific injury in his time in the majors.
