The marathon that was negotiations between the Mets and Carlos Correa is finally over. For those who wanted him alongside Francisco Lindor, the conclusion was not ideal. But at this point, it’s good to just move on. It felt like New York was in a holding pattern until there was a resolution.
Adding him to the lineup would’ve been a substantial upgrade, but it’s not like the Mets are now a last-place team (no matter what some people may say). This is still a squad fresh off winning 101 games that reloaded with a number of top free agents.
