While things are still not yet official between the New York Mets and Carlos Correa, the chances seemingly remain in the Mets’ favor that they will get Correa signed. As media and fans alike presume the Mets eventually get Correa under contract, it has most wondering what could come next.
Two key factors when analyzing the addition of Correa to the Mets are the position he will play, third base, where the Mets have some depth, to begin with. Also, the expensive cost of Correa that only boosts an already all-time pricey Mets payroll.
As a result of those two variables, one player to consistently get mentioned as logical for the Mets to move on from has been Eduardo Escobar.
