Meet the Mets
Whether or not Carlos Correa will ever officially join the Mets remains to be seen, but The Athletic did a mailbag about the ongoing discussions between the player and team.
Jon Heyman reported that Correa has been in touch with at least one other team recently as a deal with the Mets hasn’t yet been worked out. Earlier in the day yesterday, he wrote that the two sides were continuing to work toward a deal.
Andy Martino tweeted that he’s hearing a resolution to the Correa situation could come soon and that a lot of the discussions that have been taking place have involved lawyers.
