Meanwhile the Astros decision to let him leave and replace him with ALCS and WS MVP Pena looks more brilliant every day.

He had a $35Mil a year deal with the Twins with three years to go. Got greedy, bet on himself, and lost miserably.

Correas greed opened the door for Pena. Pena was a gem.

Best piece of info I've found on this, anywhere. Sprint speed stuff is really really interesting

Back to the Twinkies! Hats off to my Astros, by letting him walk and bringing up a young man who has shown nothing put passion and humility, MVP Jeremy Pena....

Another example of Scott Boras being your best friend and worse enemy at the same time.

Who cares he made 35 million last year ..he set for life already

He should have taken the Twins offer of 10 years 285 mil. Greed kills

Read the report that came just an 1hr ago from the NY Post. The deal is going to be done with the Mets. They are making adjustments to the deal. It will be a 10 yr with a higher AAV and clauses on PA for the last few yrs of the contract. Correa will be a Mets.

Not worth the risk, of all those years. He is not a 40 home run guy. He needs to be able to run. Steve Cohen didn’t make 20 billion by taking bad deals. It is not only the salary, but salary cap penalties as well. The Mets have 2 outstanding third base prospects. One just won the Dominican league MVP.

Really well done video! I wondered but didn't hear about the Twins pushing pause on re-pursuing Correa. Thanks for filling in the blanks.

I think this works really well in the Mets favor. Yes, backing out of the deal entirely would not look great for Steve Cohen, but it now makes Correa more affordable because three teams now have reasonable concern for his future. I believe a restructured deal for less years, same or slightly less money will come soon. I think it won’t be proposed over 8 years to avoid another Bobby Bonilla disaster.

At this point we should offer him a 3-5yr structured contract

My guess is that both the Giants and Mets see the leg injury as something that makes such a long-term deal untenable. Less money might do it, but more likely, fewer years, like four or five, unless it's a real red-flag issue such as an injury that can go mega at any moment.

CC knows his health status more than anybody else. He should have taken the Twins offer. Greed will get you.

Looks like the "product" is defective, the Giants and Mets kept their receipt

I’ll offer him $125.00 an hour.

Considering the Giants GM was an Astros Asst GM several months ago, if the Astros had known of a problem then the Giants wouldn’t have made that offer.

Sounds like greed has begun to catch up with Correa.

The fact that the Mets are investigating whether there is an issue with his health vindicates the Giants organization. Many were saying the Giants botched the deal and it is clear now that they didn't. Giants should still offer him a max deal just needs to be a pull out clause after about five years.

Good report!

As a Mets fan I’m a little concerned with the injury report. I’d still give him a 7 or 8 yr contract not 12 years

Sometimes the best move is not to play the game. In this case the best move is not to sign this player. There are a lot of players in MLB and even more over the next 13 years. Why take on unnecessary risk? Don't be a trapped by the moment. My hope the Mets skip him. The vibes I'm feeling about him are not good. Let's not act like other teams that make bad decisions by acting desperate in 1 off season as if there are no other offseason to come. Mets need to save the $ for Ohtani next off season.

Mets might have to deal with the Union if they definitely back out of the deal without a mutual resolution. Especially since the owner of the Mets was so vocal. Correa is such a great player and like-able guy, but that type of contract will be debilitating to any franchise if Correa misses substantial time to injury during the life of the contract. The Astros offered Correa 5 years 160 for an average of 32 million a year. The Twins offered 3 years 105 million for an average of 35 million a year. The Twins then offered Correas demand for a super long term 10 year deal worth 285 million. So Carlos and his agent know it’s only a matter of time before Correa’s production falls substantially. Honestly, Correa probably only has 3-5 good years in him. Doctors know these fractures very well, and they know the leg may not hold for more than 5 years or whatever years they determined. Imagine being on the hook for 7 year of a lump of coal and needing to pay him 26-27 million a year.

Correa is going to be the next Bobby Bonilla for the Mets!

Lets go with show me how it goes maybe? 6 years $150 million. Decade + contracts only for healthy early 20's position players, the others not so much..

I'd offer him a ride back home

All the Baseball ignorant that says he is not worthy of a contract don't know that Seager and Turner have played less games, missing more games than Correa and all of them started the same year (2015). Adding to that, Turner and Seager are players that becomes pure garbage when it matters the most. Especially Turner who is a .230 avg, 3 HR. 8 RBI, .281 OBP, .350 SLG, .606 OPS ans 101 OPS+ in 43 postseason games.

Give him a year to year contract with team op outs. Correa is a great player but breaks like glass.

I mean something must be seriously wrong with the leg. He should not be given anything more than 5 years. Welcome to life dude.

Since when is someone with Correa stats worth 30+ million?? Not in my opinion

The Twins deal last year had it right. He's on borrowed time.

The Mets aren't stupid. Remember they backed out of the Kumar Rocker signing when they discovered his serious arm impairment. Rocker appeared to be pulling a fast one on the Mets. Now, Correa seems to have been caught trying to put one over on them too. Cohen hires the best and the brightest to advise him. Looks like they saved him another boatload of money.

Giants dodged a bullet here.

Looking more like a Red Sox everyday... I'm sure Bloom is salivating at the thought of getting a value deal on a slightly used player.

Is Correa really a "superstar"????

I would not give Correa anything more than 26 million a year at 8 years max. Roughly a 209 million contract

As a Mets fan I say we sign him with a team opt out every year

The Astros will sign him to a 1 yr deal for 8 mil with incentives to get him to 16 if he plays all year... at center field.

5yr 160 mill seemed like a very very safe deal.... beyond that is insane

Greed getting its comeuppance lol. I was hoping the Mets would get stuck in this deal.

A major FA discovery!! Headline Correa is damaged. Too bad, a really good player.

Always kick the tires before you buy the car .....

Look into jump conductance, what causes it, and what it might do to someone with a metal plate in their leg.

The Astros only offer five year contracts , they build with the farm system not through massive contracts. The Astros know Correa’s Medicals better than any other team.

Could not have happened to a nicer guy.

Anything in the MLB CBA with the union would supersede regular contact law. But under normal contract law, I don’t think anything Steve Cohen said would compel the Mets to specifically perform the verbal contract.

Damage goods!

give him one year and wait, see what happens

Yankees fan here. It's the Mets 😂

Keep the money and make the prices at the concession stands lower

He did aggravate the injury on September 20th.

Correa is nowhere worth the money they are giving him. Horrible deal the Mets should back out of .

Don't you just love it, you have a contract but decide to op out, you're injured and can't get that huge contract. some players listen way to much to their agents

His agent Boras is like a used car salesman, trying to make it sound like all the players he represent are healthy, just like stephen strasuburg

as a shortstop he has great stats, but the mets wanted him to play 3rd...his stats aren't that good as a 3rd base. Overpaid for avg .279, 22 HR and 80 RBI, give him 3 year 75 million

Well, 4 years at 25 mil per with incentives if he's on the active roster when the team wins (yes, wins) the world series. The incentive would double if the team repeats winning the world series. full no trade clause with only a team option and a hardwired qualifying offer in the final year. I'd put the incentive at 20 mil. Ultimately making the deal worth up to 400 mil if the team were to win the World Series four straight years.

i think houston knew exactly what was happening based on his contract offer and i believe Boras knows why and hes playing coy with the clubs and i think it will back fire cause most clubs are not gullable

He's been in the majors for 8 years.. Never hit more than 26 HRs or 36 doubles in a season, averages just 1 triple a year. So its fair to say there's been some extra hype on this guy from the media over the years. I do like him though, I don't think he's a bad player. I've seen him get some nice hits in big moments. And his defense is great. But given how fragile he already is, that only gets worse with age not better, there's just no way he's gonna last 12 years he'll be washed up in half that time maybe sooner. Mets should just give him like 8-9 years no other team is gonna match that at this point in the offseason. Throw in opt outs for him after years 1 and 2 if he wants.

Carlos is damage good, he’s worth 3 years 72 million, no more then that.. He bad mouth the Yankees, it service him good. Now he wishes he could play for Yankees. If the deal falls through with Mets.

Funny how them contracts and players work. If they perform they want more money but when they don’t, teams don’t ask for sum of their money back. What a coincidence he performed the season right before he became a free agent.

So much for the so called , self proclaimed best infield in baseball 😂

He had a home but he wanted to chase that money

Now he can sign with the Jays 1 year 5 million.

1:24 reason borras let the short term contract happen is becuase Correa switched agents and the old agent got a peice of the last deal this new deal he gets 0% of so it was a way to get 100% of the agent fees .... The 3 year deal with two opt outs was 1000% to benefit borras not Correa

"Carlos Correa, Deal or No Deal."- Howie Mandel

It doesn’t seem as if Correa will ever get anymore out of a contract then a 3 year deal at a time. Can’t blame any team for being cautious.

My take will be that Correa will still be a Mets, but in a shorter deal sitting around de 6-8 years span in the 200-220m in my books.

Astros don’t give long term deals unless player is from system, young and can get them at home town discount. CC has always had injury issues. The only way Astros would have done a 10 year deal would be at a big discount.

Yankees should slip in and sign Correa 2-3 years, maybe to play third and stick it to the Mets.

Do we actually know what Scott Boras said to Steve Cohen after the Giants deal fell apart? I realize you can tell when an agent is lying-whenever his lips are moving.

Its not the analytics they are worried about to be honest they probably found something wrong with the plate and the giants obviously found out about the same issue. Most likley the plate has to get replaced and he could be out for awhile if he can come back at all

I’d offer a 2-3 year deal with incentives.

He’ll supposedly have to play 3rd base? With a bum leg how well will he do? I’d give him the same deal the Twins offered with the club having the option to dump him years 2 or 3.

If sliding is going to be an ongoing issue the Mets need to back out. Not crazy about the fact that he hit into 34 double plays over 2 years either.

Devers and Machado (on a opt out) are available next year. Unless Boras and Correa don't renegotiate sign one of them and Ohtani. Also Baty can get a shot.

To be fair, the Giants should have been given the rights to renegotiate their deal first.

If he enters free agency again and if I was the Jays, I'd offer the same money and term the Giants did but with a team option after year 4.

Giants should offer back the 13-year / $350 million but with a vested option. Club Options in year 4 and year 9 of that contract, in which a language in the deal states that Carlos Correa can't miss 35% of total games in year 1-4 and 5-9 of the deal due to injuries related to the suspect ankle. He also has to play 3B until Brandon Crawford retires, or leaves the Giants. Seems like a fair deal for both parties.

For some reason I think he ends up back with the Giants on a much shorter three year deal or something.

It doesn't have to be about restructuring the money they just need more protection in the contract. Maybe a team option after 6 or seven years but put more guarantee money or higher signing bonus for the first 7. If his leg gets worse he probably only can play everyday or so for maybe 6 more years. Who knows. Its always a gamble. Yankees are taking same chance on judge. He's been hurt alot before last year. Coincidently his contract year. So who's to say this year he might not go on injured list for something he played through last year. Hopefully he's a met next year. As a Yankee fan it would be great for the city. We have 7 star players between 2 teams. Top 20 at the very least. And for those who will say who? 1.Cole 2.Judge 3 sherzer 4 Verlander 5 Correa 6 Alonso 7 Lindor

Correa = 2024 allstar 1B. I doubt he ever plays SS again, unless emergency situations. He may play 3rd base, until he gets hurt and is forced to move to 1B, or maybe DH, but he’s only a decent DH. He could flourish at 1B though.

He must be Injured still, dang would have loved to see him in toronto

any deal past 6-7 years is outrageous.. player's usually don't live up to the high paying contract they get let alone multiple years... when production fails...the team ends eating the big contract.. multiple years is unrealistic considering injuries or personal battles..

Cheater, man of low moral character. He cheated in houston and then was the biggest mouth on that team defending their actions. Now he's trying to pull a fast one by saying he's physically fit to play for a ten year contract. He's a crook, man. He should go back to Puerto Rico to play if they'll have him.

Unless the union and Boras threaten to litigate because the Mets acknowledged the deal publicly, Correa is going to have to settle for a shorter deal. If he does stay healthy and productive, he could end up making more money over those 13 years though.

I'd look at structuring the deal with pay per performance. If he's on the IL for that injury, no pay.

Sounds like Boras is a used car salesman.

Wonder if he is on the Braves' radar?

Correa is incredibly overrated. That leg is a huge liability, I'd be keeping the years short.

Sounds like big concern his leg, hopefully he’ll find a team willing on working with him- rays? angels?

As baseball fans, we pay players exorbitant amounts of money in the form of ticket prices. It's easy to reject positive thoughts for greedy agents and players.

I believe the reason the Giants backed away from Correa, is because they saw that Dansby Swanson, signed for half the years and half the money!!! And they felt foolish for falling for Scott Boras, trick negotiation skills!!!

These players want to be treated like thoroughbreds but will cry foul when that is all they are considered as. It's like buying a Porsche that has been t-boned. You don't know what you're getting till things start breaking down.

The Mets are in NO obligation to publicize any talks about restructuring. Given that Cohen might have jumped the gun with respect to Correa’s signing, I’m assuming that both camps are in talks at this moment. Almost certain he will eventually sign with NY, even if to save face.

I would offer him a 9 year 250 million with a clause he has to play a minimum of 130 games each year and if he gets hurt with the bad leg contract is void. Drop the mic

No need to kick the tires anymore. How s that injury going to look 5 yrs from now ?

Disappointing to see those slower sprint times.. making him a 4 tool player. He’s done great things on and off the field especially for Houstonians and Puerto Ricans. While medical advancements could help him it would definitely delay his career and lower his value. Being a taller player he is more susceptible to injury...most likely he is encountering the challenge of his career.

4 years 160mil 40mil AAV seems the like the best compromise

Met fans are jumping for Joy
