It's also interesting that this never came up with the Twins (that we know of).

He'd be Dusty's dream CF given his ability to gun down runners going 1st to 3rd on a single
Wonder if it's part of the reason why the Astros didn't negotiate more when he left for the twins.
Maybe an injury that isn't bothering him now, but could be a career ended down the line.

They may not have cared as much seeing it was a short term deal?

That's said in the article
The Mets look pretty silly considering the Giants just did the same thing 30 seconds before them.

Disagree
Besides the length of the contract itself I think the Mets were smart. Swoop in and agree to terms so he can't negotiate with others and we'll have time to look at the medicals and back out later if we need to.
I was pretty snarky about this when the Giants backed out. I was assuming it was his previously tenderized back. That I had no sympathy for.
This is different. This I really feel bad for CC. Everyone else gets mega deals. Hell, steroid users like Tatis Jr got his. Bauer has gotten massive contracts. Yet he can't get his.

I'm sure he'll still have a big pile of money to sleep on when it's all said and done.Mathguy64 said:

He's already gone from an Alaskan King to a California King. And he's in the process of being kicked out of that. You also have to wonder what is is dealing with on the Mrs Correa front. She just spent a year in obscurity in Minneapolis. Not just the regular season obscurity but the playoff obscurity. She can't be happy.

He could have tried last year too. When you try to squeeze every penny out of teams, it can backfire. I'm not jumping for joy, but this could serve a valuable lesson for some guys.
I can't help but wonder if this is why Carlos was adamant about inking a long term deal and opting out of MIN.
Yeah that part would suck..."hey honey, we're going to live in San Francisco! OK sorry sweetheart, we're no longer moving to the west coast but we're going to the Big Apple!!! Let's party!!"Mathguy64 said:

"OK, you liked our town home in Minneapolis, right, right? Wait babe, where are you going?"
Watch. Carlos is going to sign a massive 6 year deal. And then get an even bigger deal. Wind up making more money over the same length of time as these contracts.
Plenty of nice houses on Lake Minnetonka for him here
Incredible

Stros show up with 1 year, $30 mil offer for Correa to prove his leg isn't about to fall off
Can he play LF?
Feels like a 'buy low' opportunity for Correa. The problem is buy low is like 7 yrs $200 mil
Not a Correa fan, but I think this ends up being good for him. He's always best when he's got a chip on his shoulder & something to prove. I predicted he'd go Roger Dorn as soon as he got paid. Now that he's being called brittle publicly and backed out on, I think we are about to see the best of him.
Don't know how the Astros could make it fit but Correa back for the next 3 years wouldn't be bad. Fits team culture, gives an edge. Left side of infield looks set though.
Still, the title window is next 3 seasons. Do what you can to maximize that

I bet he'd play 155 games of GG LF if his future Dior shopping was on the line. I'd be here for that.Mr.Bond said:BadAggie said:

I'd give him a 30M per year 1-yr rolling contract that vested only if he played in 150 games.
Yeah for sure...But there's no room for him.
SS and 3B are taken.

Billy, this is Carlos Correa, he is one of the best shortstops in all of baseball.

His only defect is that every team freaks out when they see his medicals. I believe, if we wait long enough, the A's can sign him for $237,000. pic.twitter.com/LxxbSw96nb
Little stocking stuffer from the MIL.
Does a player have to pass a physical in order for a contract to be insured?
Hard to feel too sorry for them when it's all about feeding their ego.
There's a house around the corner from this that's amazing too. My kids are spoiled as we go to both houses every year. Only live 5 min away!

I don't know for sure but I imagine it's like buying a house.
You agree to terms and get a due diligence period. Hence CC and Mets agree to terms. Then if things don't work out the contract doesn't get finalized.
So essentially this is like buying a house that doesn't pass inspection.
Oh yeah...And every team knows he's already failed 2 inspections.
the Giants are geniuses

#Braves #Yankees and #Dodgers will be pushing hard for Correa on a short term deal with high AAV #Mets unknown at this time

Not sure how trustworthy this guy is, but fwiw
Look at the comments. Same guy was reporting he passed a physical 24hrs ago. Not sure what the truth actually is, not sure he's the best source though.
This sucks for Carlos. He's losing a lot of money.
Correa is between a rock and a hard place. Two teams bailing after a failed medical. This will cost him a ton. There really has to be more than a 2014 leg issue.
