“Is This Some Type of Sick Joke?”- Shocking Carlos Correa Update Catches MLB Fans off Guard

Carlos Correa is one of the most talented players in the 2022 Free Agency pool. The shortstop is only 28 years old and will be a great addition to any roster. Although it was almost confirmed that Correa and the San Francisco Giants had a deal, recent reports suggest that the star shortstop is not signing with the Giants anymore.

Yes! Correa has changed his mind at the last minute and is apparently signing with another team. The former MLB All-Star will provide his new team with great batting and some of the best fielding in the league. The question that remains is which team Correa is going to sign with.

Carlos Correa signs with the New York Mets on a 12-year $315 million deal

According to Fox Sports, Carlos Correa has agreed to a 12-year $315 million deal with the New York Mets. The All-Star’s deal with the Giants broke down over complications with his medical. Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, “Carlos Correa and the Mets have a deal. $315M, 12 years.”

The Tweet came hours after Correa’s introduction with the Giants was postponed due to ‘medical concerns’. Correa’s deal with the Mets comes as a shock to many as he goes back on a 13-year $350 million deal with the Giants.

Fans have reacted with shock and amazement to the news of the deal. Many are surprised and do not believe that it is really happening.

But according to reports, it is happening and will go through pending final formalities. The deal will make the Mets’ payroll even more expensive and the Giants will continue their hunt to sign a star-level free agent. 

The Giants cannot seem to get a star to sign with them

With reports of the Correa deal falling through, this is the second big deal the Giants have failed to complete. Earlier this offseason, free agent Aaron Judge rejected a huge offer from the Giants to re-sign with the Yankees. Furthermore, by signing with the Mets, Correa is signing for 1 year and $35 million less.
