Mets Rumors: Carlos Correa Not Believed to Be Open to Restructuring Contract Offer

Carlos Correa's deal with the New York Mets is on hold due to concerns over the results of his physical, and the star infielder is not believed to be open to restructuring his pending deal with the team.

The Mets are concerned about the long-term stability of the infielder's right leg, which is why the deal hasn't been made official.

There is a 55 percent chance that the two sides will complete a deal, according to one source. At least three teams have been in contact with Correa, though he is still trying to work out a deal with the Mets.

The same concerns caused the $350 million agreement with the San Francisco Giants to fall apart.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post said that the two sides were trying to work through the issue after The Athletic reported about the Mets' concerns.

It's not clear if talks have resumed after they were put on hold for Christmas. It's not clear what kind of deal he would get if he were to return to the open market.

Scott Boras, Correa's agent, told Jeff Passan that the Minnesota Twins offered him a 10-year deal despite knowing about the injury he sustained early in his career.

While he was in the Astros' minor-league system, Correa had surgery to repair a broken fibula. He made his major league debut in 2015.

There's concern that issues could arise down the line because of the fact that Correa has never missed time with a right leg injury. It would take him through his 40th birthday if he agreed to a 12-year contract.

If the Mets can work out a deal with him, he would be a great addition to the team.

Since winning the American League's Freshman of the Year award in 2015, Astros infielder Carlos Correa has become one of the best in the game. He is a two-time All-Star and a two-time World Series champ.

The Mets came up short in the playoffs, falling to the San Diego Padres in the National League wild-card round.

Figuring out a way to work out Correa's deal is a must for Steve Cohen's club.
