Carlos Correa’s negotiations with the New York Mets have reportedly hit a snag, and the star shortstop has been in contact with another team. This is the first indication that Correa might not eventually work out a deal with the Mets because of issues that arose during his physical examination.
The health issues similarly derailed his agreement with the San Francisco Giants. His current deal with the New York Mets appears to be in jeopardy as they hammer out the language of the contract. It is no surprise that other teams are interested in signing Carlos Correa considering his on-field production.
Jon Heyman broke the news that at least one other team had been in contact with Correa via Twitter.
