Carlos Correa’s file is simply endless. After all, he signed his first contract of the winter (or his first signing promise, at least) on December 13 with the Giants.
And 1392 turnovers later, nothing is official yet.
Since then, the Giants have not liked his medical report and the player, via his agent Scott Boras, has gone elsewhere. Steve Cohen, of the Mets, therefore took the opportunity to steal it from the Giants. It was on the night of December 20 to 21.
And since? Radio silence. Except when Steve Cohen said he was happy to get his hands on his services… before the contract was official.
The Mets, since that time, have not liked the player’s medical record. Remember that Correa is healthy right now, but the condition of his ankle looks scary over 12 or 13 years.
The other teams have therefore started to contact Carlos Correa and recently Scott Boras has replied to certain clubs, including the Twins.
Does this mean he will leave New York? Not necessarily, no. In fact, it is said that he really wants to stay in New York.
But right now, it’s the Mets who are thinking about letting go of the case.
In fact, no one has any advantage in giving up. After all, the Mets need the stick of whoever would play at third base (word of the owner) and if the contract does not pass, the player will have a hard time finding one that big.
But at least the good news is that the case seems to be coming to an end. We should have answers shortly, either via a contract or via a return to the autonomy market.
Right now, the Mets and Scott Boras are negotiating to see if the club can protect itself financially in the event of the player’s injury. This is the fear of the moment.
I’m really looking forward to this being fixed. Imagine how eager the people involved must be, too, to have it all over and behind them.
