Carlos Correa Rumors: Mets 'Very Frustrated' with Contract Talks, May Walk Away

According to a report, the New York Mets are not happy about the negotiations with Carlos Correa.

The Mets are very frustrated with the state of negotiations with the two-time All-Star infielder and are considering walking away from the deal, according to a source.

"Correo-to-Mets is alive and well," he said. The source said that the sides were still in a good position to reach an accord. The team is starting to question whether it wants to proceed with the deal.

The Mets are concerned about the long-term status of Carlos Correa because of an ankle injury he sustained in the minor leagues.

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a 13-year $350 million contract with Correa on December 13th. The Giants delayed his press conference because of unresolved medical results from his physical.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Mets swooped in to give Correa a 12-year, $315 million deal as the Giants were trying to sort out the situation.

Cohen told Heyman that it made a big difference. Our pitchers were in good shape. One more hitter was required. We are over the top because of this.

The Mets raised concerns about Correa's physical that could potentially jeopardize the agreement.

The two sides could agree to a restructured deal, but it would be difficult for the Mets because Cohen's comments about a contract that wasn't finalized leave them open to a grievance.

The talks with the Mets "ran into at least a hiccup or two" according to Heyman.

The Mets are trying to add language to their contract that will protect them from risks related to the ankle injury of Carlos Correa. While sliding into a base, he fractured his fibula.

In the big leagues, the injury hasn't been a problem for Correa, though he has missed time with other physical ailments since being called up in 2015. He has a.279/.358/.479 slash line and 155 homers.
