In a wild twist overnight, Carlos Correa has agreed to sign with the New York Mets hours after his pending deal with the San Francisco Giants fell apart, according to media reports.
The 28-year-old Correa will slide in at third base for the Mets alongside fellow Puerto Rico countryman Francisco Lindor.
Correa was the No. 1 overall pick by the Astros in the 2012 MLB Draft and won the Rookie of the Year award in 2015. In his seventh and final season with the Astros in 2021, Correa belted 26 home runs, 92 RBI and scored 102 runs while earning his second All-Star appearance and finishing fifth in American League MVP voting.
The Mets had expressed interest in the shortstop in recent weeks and the news allowed them to swing a deal for the superstar.
