Carlos Correa’s contract with Steve Cohen’s New York Mets is still not official. It’s really starting to get long.
His medical tests are still holding the New York Mets back, but you should know that Correa really wants to play with the New York Mets.
He doesn’t really want to go play anywhere else and he doesn’t want to abort a second deal in a few weeks – after that of the Giants.
But clearly, if doctors in San Francisco and New York have the same fears about its potential for long-term health…it must be true.
This means that the Mets and Scott Boras, Correa’s agent, are negotiating to see if there is a way to “protect” the club in the event of injury to whoever would play third base for dishes.
And according to what Ken Rosenthal reports, if the Mets were indeed to end up formalizing the contract of the star, it is to be expected that it will be in a format very different from what was announced before the holiday season. .
It will be remembered that he had agreed with the Mets for 12 years and $315 million. It was less than the Giants’ 13-year-old, $350 million, but it was big.
If his next contract were to be different, would we be talking about fewer contract years? Clauses that he must stay healthy to get all his money?
Hard to say.
But what we do know is that the saga must have drawn a lot of juice from the main interested party since the start of the off-season. Will he have his head in baseball at training camp?
