Whether Carlos Correa lands a deal with the New York Mets, the ongoing MLB offseason will be remembered for ages. The baseball world has lately been plagued by issues and one of the longest ones yet is about free agent Correa. Despite coming close to signing a deal with the SF Giants and Mets, the 2017 World Series champ is yet to have a team this year. And now when his medical issues are proving to be a major issue for the Mets as well, billionaire Steve Cohen is silently sending powerful messages.
The latest deal was going to be between Correa and the New York Mets, but it has certainly taken a long while. The Mets owner Steve Cohen recently had some interesting Twitter activity regarding the matter, and the fans are enjoying the drama.

We are already a better team than we were this time last year. Remember… We won 101 games last year. That's because of the commitment Steve Cohen has made to the team and fans. Whether the Correa deal works out not, it's great to have an owner willing to do anything to win!

Met fans? Don’t panic. In the event this isn’t a ploy remember, the Mets have options in either Escobar or a young gun in Baty. I want Carlos, but he needs the Mets more than they need him. Plus his options are shrinking. Stay the course. #lgm #nymets #MetsTwitter https://t.co/55RSSvwpxt

Many think the Puerto Rican player would actually be a good addition to the team –
Without Correa in the postseason, Mets will surrender quick….Forget about 100 wins and make a winning World Series team

These are dumb tweets, the Mets without correa are not better than Atlanta or Philly. There is no upgrade that will push them past those clubs without him. Everything needs to work out right with escobar and baty isn’t ready. They didn’t hit in the post season. People forget east

We desperately need correa we are hardly better than we were last year and that isnt good enough

Some baseball fans seemed to be enjoying this spectacle that has been going on-
Baseball would be so boring right now without this saga. My gut says that history will view the teams who didn’t give Correa 300mil with no protections as smart. But my gut is not always to be trusted.

The Mets seem to be wary of the free agent and what it will mean to have a deal with him. Correa was previously close to signing with the San Francisco Giants, but was dropped just before the official announcement. They expressed concerns over Correa’s physical, though they didn’t reveal any details. Then again, it could be guessed that the problem lay either with Correa’s ankle injury or surgically repaired right fibula.
