EXPLAINER: How Correa lost Giants deal, ended up with Mets KPRC2
FILE - Minnesota Twins' Carlos Correa hits an RBI double during the third inning of a baseball game against the Kansas City Royals, Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022, in Minneapolis. In a wild twist overnight, Carlos Correa agreed to a $315 million, 12-year contract with the free-spending New York Mets after his pending deal with the San Francisco Giants came apart over an issue with his physical.
The next shoe dropped while most fans were asleep. Correa's agent, Scott Boras, had quickly gotten to work finding new suitors, and New York's $315 million, 12-year offer was enough to attract Correa to the Big Apple instead. The Mets dealt with their own physical hiccup in 2021, when they declined to sign first-round draft pickBut never has a free agent of Correa's ilk had an entire deal scrapped like this.
San Francisco has veteran shortstop Brandon Crawford signed through 2023, but he has hinted this could be it. He also has dealt with injuries in recent years and was limited to 118 games last season.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE METS?A year after the 101-win club lost in the NL wild-card round to San Diego, the Mets feel they've added the missing piece to make them a World Series contender — thanks to Cohen's ability to foot the bill.
The Mets' offseason haul has also included bringing back outfielder Brandon Nimmo on a $162 million, eight-year deal, adding AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander on an $86.7 million, two-year contract and signing Japanese pitcher Kodai Senga on Saturday to a $75 million, five-year deal.The top shortstops are signed, leaving limited choices remaining on the market. Trea Turner joined the Phillies and Xander Bogaerts signed in San Diego.
