NEW YORK -- In a wild twist overnight, Carlos Correa has agreed to sign with the New York Mets hours after his pending deal with the San Francisco Giants fell apart, according to media reports.
The New York Post, citing anonymous sources, was first to report early Wednesday that the prized free agent agreed to a $315 million, 12-year contract with the big-spending Mets, subject to a medical evaluation - which became an issue with the Giants.
ESPN also reported the terms of Correa's agreement with New York, citing an anonymous source.
"We need one more thing, and this is it," Mets owner Steve Cohen told The Post from Hawaii.
