Mets Also Have Medical Concerns about Carlos Correa

I've seen this episode before...

I can't see Cohen allowing Correa to get away regardless of the medical issue.  They will strike a bargain of some kind to get him to NY.  Cohen wants to win, period.  It must be that he aggravated the fibula repair in some way this year.  But, he certainly didn't close the year looking like he was bothered by it as he closed strong.

They didn't sign Rocker. They let DeGromm go. He's a free spender, but do we know he ignores medical advice? I have no idea at this point. I'm guessing a three year deal for 105....

Is it possible, the other big market clubs with entrenched owners reached out to Cohen and said he had to knock this crap off? That they all had a good thing going and his actions may end up provoking unwanted changes? Like greater broadcast revenue sharing?

100%

If the Twins sign him for their original offer they are being stupid.  Two teams that can afford him have medical issues.  The Twins have had the worst medical history of any team.  To ignore this is ridiculous.  Five years max, but I like the two year options of other posters.

Nothing. 

Guess it's time to post in this OP as well as the other, LOL.

Let's say the Mets just go for it, even with an adjusted offer. No problem. Probably what ends up happening. But let's say they cut the years and the $ amount, or even want to include some sort of team option.

Circle back to the Twins in this scenario. The Twins would have every right to A) want a physical and all pertinent information, and B) considering amending their original offer. Now, amending said offer only goes so far as I doubt the Mets would just low ball Correa. 

But let's say the Mets drop to around 10 and $290. And even if the Twins have some concerns, they still have an opportunity to add someone special...playing the odds...that's going to probably be pretty good for at least the first half of the deal. They MIGHT still go 10yrs, but front load a bit more, and maybe drop their offer $10-20M, theoretically, and still offer an opt out after 4yrs. 

The $ are still very close. Correa still has the ability to bet on himself in 4yrs at only age 31. Further, instead of moving to 3B, he still plays SS. Don't think I've heard anyone bring up the difference, for Correa, of still playing SS vs moving to 3B. 

There's way too many moving parts here. And I can easily see him sticking with an adjusted offer from the Mets. But if the Twins are willing to take a bit of a risk...that might never cause an issue...they might "steal" a top ML SS for the next 4-6-7yrs for their original offer, or a slightly amended version. And Correa, and his family, might just prefer Minnesota vs NY and allow him to continue at SS for very close $, but with the option to still bet on himself in 4yrs.

Looks like Thrift Store shopping now. Dior this!

Have you noticed our injured players versus other teams?  And not just this year.
