Carlos Correa Contract Talks Stalling Was 'Big Letdown,' Mets Player Says

An unnamed New York Mets player called losing shortstop Carlos Correa to the Minnesota Twins a "big letdown," per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

One of the hottest names in this year's free agent market initially signed a 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants, but that deal fell through because of the team's long-term concerns with his right leg due to a fractured right fibula suffered during a slide in a 2014 minor league game. A minor ligament issue was also fixed at the time of the surgery.
