Carlos Correa’s free agency saga has been perhaps the most intriguing storyline of MLB’s offseason. If and when his situation with the Mets finally reaches a resolution, it appears his official agreement will look quite different than the 12-year, $315 million deal that was originally reported.
Speaking on The Athletic Baseball Show, MLB reporter Ken Rosenthal said that he expects Correa’s eventual deal with the Mets to be “dramatically different” than those terms, noting that while the Mets have leverage to significantly decrease the value of the deal, they will also weigh Correa’s ultimate happiness and excitement about joining the team.
