Daily News | New York Mets’ deal with Carlos Correa delayed but still likely
The Athletic was the first to report an issue with Correa’s physical with the Mets.
Correa, 28, agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract with the Mets just hours after a deal with the Giants was put on hold because of concerns with Correa’s lower right leg, which had been surgically repaired in 2014 after he broke his fibula on a slide during a minor league game. In the interim, Correa pivoted to the Mets, who had previously engaged in acquiring him.
An agreement between player and team isn’t official until the player passes a physical and signs a contract, as it’s not uncommon for agreements to leak before the team makes an announcement. On occasion, a player won’t pass his physical — or one team views his medicals differently than another — voiding the agreement.
The latter scenario appeared to apply to Correa, but now the Mets have the same concerns the Giants had, hence delaying the official signing.
