It looks like its in MLB's hands now, the Mets and Correa agreed to clauses in the contract that have to be approved by MLB.

I hadn't heard that. What is in the contract that has to be approved?

I don't think the specifics were released but I saw a tweet that said team opt out if he spent a certain amount time on DL with an injury to the ankle. Magglio Ordonez had a similar clause in his contract with the Tigers so hopefully it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm baffled that Boras would agree to that....I wonder if the Twins offer was still on the table.

Boras was Magglio's agent too so he has done it before.

Amazing how long this is all taking but also how quiet things are.
Usually we are more than this in negotiations
