Zero leverage now by Boras...two teams passed on him...good luck signing him to a huge contract which rarely work long term and explain to the fans if doesnt work out..you out of a job..will be easy target when say 'well two teams backed out for a reason why did you sign him'

unless its for a big discount..

Haha reports are that Correa is returning to the Twins. Please someone explain the brilliance of the Mets discussed earlier.

Breaking news he is signing a 6 year $200million deal pending a physical with the Twins

Mets lose but so does Correa He loves the spotlight and wanted to play with his friend. But Money Talks

On the flip side I would not mind seeing Baty brought up from the minors and playing 3rd base for the Mets

Yep, Baty is the future there and hopefully he wins the job in ST. I also want to see Alvarez as the starting C before too long.

Pending physical? Oh boy, here we go again. How long before the A's swoop in and sign him for league minimum? lol

Actually funny that they need to do a physical. They had him last year on their team so I am sure he had a physical prior to him signing last time with them and also must have seen their doctor during the season at some point

He signed a 3 year contract last time, the Giants and Mets doctors think this will be a future problem, the Twins doctors might feel differently when it's 6 years. We'll see.

It got them out of paying a contract that everyone agrees would be terrible based on all prior large contracts in the past....it remains brilliant and provides them cover for not signing.

Wouldn't it have been better to not tell everyone you were signing a player you didn't have under contract?

How did this work out in favor of the Mets? If you're going to boil things down to they didn't sign a player with an injury concern, all of that was avoided by 28 other teams without doing anything or making a single announcement.

well they got a shot at him more than the other 28 teams, you dont get to do the in depth physical without their real interest........good luck giving in depth physicals to anyone without making an offer and just asking to just check him out.......

Didn't he already fail one physical and have an offer rescinded before the Mets announced they had a deal?

Yep. And the Twins subsequently rescinded their original offer of $285 and (I think ) 10 yrs

right and the Giants announced they had a deal as well, good luck for mets saying they will just rely on Giants in depth physical, they got a free crack at their own physical

i think 'announced had a deal' to make an analogy is like buying a house before the inspection period and the house is contingent...house had not sold yet, and really not a real deal yet for the player.really its announcing a 'potential deal'
