Carlos Correa

After the Giants wouldn't give Correa a passing grade on a physical he took Monday in San Francisco, the Mets reportedly are dealing with the same issue.

Sources familiar with the front office's thinking told NBC Sports Bay Area this week that the Giants feel they operated in good faith and simply ran into a medical issue they could not get past. He has not missed time because of the injury as a big leaguer, but the Giants had concerns about his ability to hold up and maintain his mobility over the length of a 13-year deal. Correa landed in New York on Thursday for a physical to finalize a new 12-year, $315 million agreement, but the deal has not been announced yet.

While Correa has dealt with a number of injury issues throughout his MLB career, his lower right leg has not caused him any publicly disclosed issues of note.

Neither happened and Correa opted out of his contract after the season and entered the free agent market.

It also might be difficult for Correa to re-enter the free-agent market and land a comparable contract after two clubs identified the same issue in their physical examinations of him." [Carlos Correa's](/mlb/players/2000028/carlos-correa/) physical may complicate the completion of a long-term free agent contract.

What if... Carlos Correa ends up finalizing a deal with the SF Giants after all? Maybe that could be San Francisco's Holiday Miracle.

Either New York will go through with the deal, the two sides will quickly renegotiate the contract, or Correa will return to free agency. However, with the fanbase giddy to meet the new face of the franchise, San Francisco abruptly postponed his introductory press conference, and within 24 hours, he had agreed to terms with the Mets. One last facet worth consideration is Cohen's relationship with the rest of MLB. It's worth remembering that Boras had seemed open to doing that with the Giants, but they By making that public statement, the Mets may be at greater risk of losing an arbitration hearing if Correa filed a grievance against them for vacating the agreement. According to Ken Rosenthal of [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4033222/2022/12/24/mets-correa-physical-concerns/), the New York Mets now "have concerns" about Correa's right ankle following his physical.

The Mets have expressed concern over imaging around a lower leg injury that Correa suffered as a minor leaguer with the Astros in 2014.

The delay comes just three days after the [San Francisco Giants postponed a news conference](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2022/12/21/carlos-correa-new-york-mets-contract-giants-steve-cohen/10937537002/) to introduce Correa after the sides struck a 15-year, $350 million deal. Hours later, he'd struck the $315 million deal with New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, who has committed close to a billion dollars in roster enhancements this winter. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because negotiations are ongoing.

Breaking down what Carlos Correa must do if his deal with the New York Mets falls apart amid concerns about his leg.

That does not mean the deal is guaranteed to fall apart. Boras and Correa are obviously dealing with difficult circumstances, but the famed agent will be up for the challenge. Correa has posted an exact .366 OPB in each of the past two years. Correa has an impressive eye at the plate. The only team that would possibly consider it Correa could attempt to sign another long-term deal elsewhere with a chance of it falling through once again.

Correa had agreed to a long-term contract with the Giants on December 13, but that fell over on Monday after the Giants reportedly asked for more time to look ...

That deal fell through, but Correa was able to quickly land a $300MM+ deal with the Mets. [Kumar Rocker](https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=rocker000kum&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2022-12-24_br) 10th overall and agreed to a $6MM signing bonus, before abandoning the deal after growing concerned by something they saw in the physical. He also added that the Giants were trying to use a “crystal ball” to try and predict Correa’s long term health (via [Laura Albanese of Newsday](https://twitter.com/AlbaneseLaura/status/1605963233797341184)). Correa has missed time for thumb, back and rib issues in the big leagues, but the right leg has never sent him to the injured list in his eight big league seasons. Boras sought to re-engage with the Twins as well after the Giants deal fell through. [Carlos Correa](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/correca01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2022-12-24_br)’s physical with the Mets has “raised concerns”, according to a report from [Ken Rosenthal and Dan Hayes of The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4033222/2022/12/24/mets-correa-physical-concerns/). Correa has agreed to a 12-year, $315MM deal with the Mets just days after a 13-year, $350MM deal with the Giants fell through over concerns over the physical. The Giants have been quiet on the matter. Per The Athletic’s report, they’d offered him a ten-year, $285MM deal but would have put a greater emphasis on a physical before that deal than the deal he signed with Minnesota earlier in 2022, given the long-term nature of the proposal. Generally, reported agreements pending a physical have become official without a hitch, but Correa’s has now hit a snag on two separate occasions in the space of a week. That’s particularly significant as, per The Athletic’s report, addressing the deal on the record could make it trickier to back out of the agreement, although there’s nothing to suggest that’s what the Mets are looking to do. Rogers adds that there is not a timetable in place to resolve the matter.

Recordemos que el jugador fue sometido a una operación en la pierna derecha en 2014 y al parecer tanto los de Nueva York como los de San Francisco no se sienten cómodos en relación a su salud de cara al futuro. Además se vio muy solvente con el guante, dejando un porcentaje de fildeo de .983, cometiendo sólo 8 errores en 472 chances. Esta situación por supuesto podría complicar las cosas en torno al acuerdo de 12 años y 315 millones de dólares que el boricua acordó con los Mets luego de que los Gigantes de San Francisco anularan el pacto de 350 millones que le habían otorgado a Correa.

After the Giants wouldn't give Correa a passing grade on a physical he took Monday in San Francisco, the Mets reportedly are dealing with the same issue.

“Correa-mas” may be on hold. Carlos Correa's deal with the Giants fell apart earlier this week because of a discrepancy in his medical evaluation.

The Mets and Correa’s camp are trying to work through the issue with his agreed-upon 12-year, $315 million deal hanging in the balance. As the two sides worked through the issue on Saturday, they hoped to have a different end result. There also are a dwindling number of teams that would still be willing to hand out a huge contract this late in the offseason. Correa had surgery on his right leg in 2014 to repair a fractured fibula and ligament damage. Carlos Correa’s deal with the Giants fell apart earlier this week because of a discrepancy in his medical evaluation. Now, his physical with the Mets has raised concerns as well, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed on Saturday.

The Mets raised concerns about Carlos Correa's surgically repaired lower right leg, potentially jeopardizing their deal, sources said.

Boras sought to re-engage the Twins after the Giants declined to complete their deal with Correa. And they appear to be confirming the first. The Mets amount to Correa’s second opinion. If Correa had accepted, the team would have applied greater scrutiny to his physical than it did initially because of the long-term nature of the deal, sources said. But unlike the Mets, who went up $27 million from their first discussion with Correa, the Twins were not willing to move from their initial offer. In eight major-league seasons, Correa has never gone on the injured list with a right-leg problem. [Astros GM Jeff Luhnow said at the time](https://blog.chron.com/ultimateastros/2014/06/27/correas-fracture-close-to-ankle-believed-to-be-slightly-displaced/) Correa’s fracture was nearer to the ankle than his knee. But the team postponed the news conference that morning and later confirmed “a difference of opinion over the results of Carlos’ physical examination.” Correa, who has played in 148 and 136 games the past two seasons, underwent his physical with the Mets on Thursday, Boras said. It also might be difficult for Correa to re-enter the free-agent market and land a comparable contract after two clubs identified the same issue in their physical examinations of him. Correa underwent his physical on Monday, and the Giants scheduled an introductory news conference for Tuesday. It might be difficult for the Mets to back out of the agreement entirely after their owner, Steve Cohen, went on record talking about the deal.

The shortstop had a physical on Thursday, according to his agent Boras. He played in 132 of the Astros' 162 regular-season games last year. The new developments are the latest events in a saga that has sent shockwaves through the baseball world.

The Giants' concerns with Carlos Correa's physical seem to have impacted another team's interest in the shortstop as well.

He has not missed time because of the injury as a big leaguer, but the Giants had concerns about his ability to hold up and maintain his mobility over the length of a 13-year deal. The Giants reportedly expressed similar reservations Monday when they raised concerns about a leg injury Correa suffered in 2014. The Twins heard the news and wanted to know more about any medical concerns that reportedly caused the Giants to walk away.

The New York Mets have concerns with Carlos Correa's physical after agreeing to a 12-year, $315 million deal with the star shortstop, The Athletic reports.

The Mets have not yet finalized a $315 million, 12-year contract agreed to earlier in the week. Correa's agent, Scott Boras, then negotiated the deal with the Mets. [New York Mets](/baseball/mlb/teams/new-york-mets/) and [Carlos Correa](/baseball/mlb/players/carlos-correa/657850)'s agent are having discussions over the infielder's physical days after similar concerns from the [San Francisco Giants](/baseball/mlb/teams/san-francisco-giants/) led to a collapse of their agreement with All-Star.

The Mets are the latest team to have an issue during a Carlos Correa physical. What could they be worried about, though?

Carroll mentioned this could be a problem in 8-10 years. Another thing that doctors could be concerned with is the plate itself. Carroll did say that while this is the worst thing that could be happening, it’s probably not an issue. Overall, this is more of a long-term conversation. Maybe parts of the back half of his contract aren’t guaranteed in full. Despite getting flagged by two teams, this injury hasn’t been an issue since debuting with the Houston Astros in 2015.

MLB fans have recognized how, between last year and this year, Correa is finding it more difficult to get a long-term deal than his shortstop peers. Until that happens, though, baseball Twitter just might be waiting for the next weird turn of this strange saga. That marks the second team in a week to hesitate on finalizing a contract with Correa due to a previous leg injury.

After former Astro Carlos Correa's free agent deal with the Giants collapsed after his physical, the Mets are now "working through" his medical issue.

There is no timetable to the sides reworking the agreement, according to a source. That reworking could simply be for fewer years and less money or could include language that doesn't guarantee a certain amount of money if Correa misses lengthy time because of the specific leg ailment. In the interim, Correa pivoted to the Mets, who had previously engaged on acquiring the star veteran.

Former Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa remains in limbo regarding the status of his megadeal with the New York Mets.

Correa is now undergoing questions about his physical with a second team after his first deal with the San Francisco Giants fell through. That being said, the former Astros superstar is having trouble in finding a new home after two teams have taken up issue with the same medical findings. Perhaps the shortstop will have to settle for a deal that features less years and a higher AAV, much like his three-year, $105.3 million deal with the Minnesota Twins he signed last winter. If the deal with New York falls through, as it did with San Francisco, then Correa will find himself in a tricky situation.

For the second time, Carlos Correa has had medical concerns threaten a potential $300M contract. The Mets aren't the Giants, though.

With the Mets still showing keen interest, it appears that it’s only a matter of time that a resolution in some form arrives for the two sides to consummate a deal. They’d want nothing more than to lock in that money. Carlos Correa’s side has already lost one quarter-billion deal and is likely not looking to see that happen twice given the lessening number of potential suitors.
