Just when it was a holy jolly Christmas for Mets fans, it may turn out that Carlos Correa might be one of those dreaded December 26 returns.
According to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports and the Athletic, the Mets are worrid about Correa’s physical. This just a couple of days after the Mets agreed to a 12-year $315 million to bring Correa into town.
“The New York Mets, like the San Francisco Giants earlier in the week, have raised concerns about Carlos Correa’s surgically repaired lower right leg, potentially jeopardizing their 12-year, $315 million agreement with the star shortstop, according to people briefed on the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly.”
Andy Martino of SNY says the neither the Mets nor super agent Scott Boras are responding to comment.
Jon Heyman of the New York Post said the sides are trying to work it out.
It was just a few days ago that the Giants back out of a 13-year $350 million commitment to Correa because of his medical issues.
Social Media of course exploded!
