After Failing to Secure a $350 Million Deal With the Giants, Carlos Correa Puts His $315 Million Contract With New York Mets in Jeopardy

Days after San Francisco Giants deal fell apart to secure a $350 million deal, free agent Carlos Correa agreed on a new contract with the New York Mets. Notably, the Giants has had expressed their concern over an ankle injury that Correa sustained in 2014. A last-minute concern during the physicals was the reason the mammoth deal fell apart. But thanks to his super agent Scott Boras, Correa agreed to sign with the Mets for a whopping $315 million. However, this deal also seems to be in jeopardy.
