Final proposal that Carlos Correa rejected Mets

If all goes well in your new negotiation, everything seems to indicate that Carlos Correa will be a player again Minnesota Twins. This Tuesday, it was announced that the star shortstop reached an agreement with his former team for six years and US$200 million. According to the sources, the pact is subject to the results of the medical examinations, which he failed to pass with Gigantes and mets.

Before the deal that emerged today, Correa was one step away from becoming a Mets player, however, the shortstop’s medical report revealed a significant ankle injury, which he had been dragging since 2014. Therefore, the New York organization would have done contract modifications presenting another offer other than the US$315 million for 12 years that both parties would have agreed to at the beginning.

According to some media, the Mets’ final proposal to Correa it would have been for a guaranteed salary of US$157.5 million for six years. And US$210 million for eight seasons, if he fulfills the first agreement without suffering injuries.

Correa’s 39.5 career WAR is the sixth-best mark in major league history for a player who primarily advocates shortstops through his first eight seasons, just behind Nomar Garciaparra and Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr.
