Then, a couple of days after that, Mets’ Steve Cohen made a move and offered him a deal of $315 million which he gladly accepted. But then, as the team proceeded with the medicals, the same issue concerned the Mets management. 

With many people already talking about the hot topic in MLB right now, 86′ World Series Champion Lenny Dykstra showed his discontent over Correa’s capabilities as a player.

The former Mets champion came forward with facts about Correa’s career post-season OPS. He replied to the former Tweet by, “Let’s not get carried away. The “postseason monster’s career postseason OPS is only .849, brah. I’m not that personally impressed by that.”

Whether the Mets will now go forward with the deal or not is still under wraps. Until it gets revealed, people will continue to make speculations about Correa’s future. And if this deal with the Mets also falls apart, then it will be putting Correa in a very tough spot. 

What is the medical issue that is concerning the Mets?

But during the medicals, the Mets also showed concern for the shortstop’s surgically repaired lower right leg. And it has yet again put Correa’s long-term deal into jeopardy.
