Change of plans! (And change of positions.)
After Carlos Correa's 13-year, $350 million agreement with the San Francisco Giants fell through, due to a reported medical concern that came up during his physical, the two-time All-Star and 2015 Rookie of the Year shortstop quickly agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract with the New York Mets early Wednesday morning. It's a stunning turn of events and brings with it a noticeable change to his fantasy outlook.
The most obvious change will be Correa's position. The Mets have a shortstop already in Francisco Lindor, whose superior defense -- 13 Statcast Defensive Runs Saved last season and 87 over the past five seasons combined, compared to three and 50 for Correa -- assures he'll remain there for at least the foreseeable future.
