Carlos Correa headed to Mets instead in full-blown disaster for SF Giants

At about 8:15 on Tuesday morning, the Giants mysteriously postponed Carlos Correa's introductory press conference. It was later reported that there was an issue with the shortstop's physical.

By midnight, Correa was a New York Met. Pending another physical, of course. The worst-case scenario for the Giants offseason is here.

Correa and the Giants had agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal last week, saving the franchise from missing out on every major free agent. The reported terms were by far the biggest in team history. But there's a reason stories say "agreed" to deal: teams agree to terms, then hold a physical, then the deal is signed.
