Mets Rumors: Carlos Correa's Contract to Be 'Dramatically Different' If He Signs

A bit of clarity was provided on Tuesday regarding the ongoing saga between the New York Mets and Carlos Correa.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that if he signs with New York, it will not be the 12-year, $315 million contract he originally agreed to.

It's expected to be a vastly different deal. Is the language different, the deal different, and how will Carlos Correa be once this is over? Is he going to be a happy man? Is he going to be angry? Rosenthal stated who knew.

The uncertainty surrounding Correa's health is one of the top topics of the upcoming MLB season. The 28-year-old initially agreed to terms with the San Francisco Giants on a 13-year, $350 million contract, but the team hesitated to complete the deal due to his medical reports.

Both sides reached an agreement after the Giants delayed negotiations with the Mets. After Correa underwent a physical, New York became concerned.

According to a report, the issue surrounds the ankle that was repaired while he was in the minor leagues. Over the course of his eight-year career, the two-time All-Star has never missed a day because of his ankle injury.

The Mets are hoping for a resolution that is satisfactory for everyone.

The Mets have a lot of power, but they also want a happy player. You don't want to start a relationship with a player with a lot of arguments. It's important for that player to be comfortable with the deal he's gotten and not feel like he's been shafted.

After two teams expressed concerns over the same issue, it's unlikely that he will pursue negotiations with another team.

Rosenthal said that this is a concern that has arisen with two different clubs, and that it needs to be addressed. Steve Cohen has a hammer. I don't think he's going to do it.
