NEW YORK — The old Mets fired managers in the middle of the night. The new Mets sign All-Stars in the middle of the night.
The Mets pulled off a major coup for shortstop Carlos Correa somewhere between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. It was an absolutely stunning turn of events, considering Correa was expected to sign with the San Francisco Giants, but an issue with his physical left the door open for the Mets to step in overnight and strike a deal for $315 million over 12 years, a source confirms to the New York Daily News.
However, that deal is still pending a physical.
