NEW YORK — Carlos Correa, the superstar infielder who on Wednesday agreed to terms with the Mets after a deal with the Giants fell through, was here on Thursday to undergo his physical exam, his agent, Scott Boras, said.
That step is not a formality: The Giants deal evaporated after the team expressed concern about the player’s health. San Francisco had reportedly agreed to terms with Correa on a $350 million, 13-year contract last Tuesday, and the parties signed a letter of agreement. On Monday, the team announced it would hold a press conference the following day. But three hours before it was scheduled to begin, the team announced the press conference had been postponed.
Some 14 hours later, Correa had agreed to terms with the Mets on a $315 million, 12-year deal.
