The Carlos Correa saga has caused a lot of ink to flow in recent days. After dropping out of the Giants, who didn’t like his medical record, he went to sign with the Mets… who didn’t like his medical record either.
At the heart of the problem? His ankle. She hasn’t played tricks on him for almost 10 years, but when you want to sign a guy on the terms of a 12 or 13 year contract, you do your homework another way.
Even if the Mets don’t necessarily have a lot of bargaining power (after all, Steve Cohen has already commented on the signing, mentioning that Correa was the last missing piece of the club), it is clear that the file has cause for concern.
If two medical teams think the same thing…
Still, there could be a renegotiation in an attempt to protect the Mets. For example? In later years, a certain amount of the deal could be conditional on Correa being healthy and playing a certain portion of Mets games.
But if it can reassure New York fans, the feeling is that Steve Cohen and Scott Boras will come to an agreement to formalize the star’s contract in New York.
Warning: it is not said that this will certainly happen. What has been said is that there is hope that he will get along with the Mets.
Now that Christmas is over, it should be done in the next few days. To be continued, but let’s not assume anything until the contract is official.
