An exciting offseason just turned into a nightmare for the San Francisco Giants. Just a few minutes before the clock struck midnight on Tuesday night, MLB reporter Jon Heyman broke the news that shortstop Carlos Correa — the prize signing of the Giants offseason — was joining the New York Mets.
Fans hoped for a few minutes that Heyman — who had inaccurately reported that Aaron Judge was signing with the Giants — had once again got something wrong. Unfortunately, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle quickly confirmed the news.
Confirming: Correa to the Mets now after Giants flagged something in the physical and doctors disagreed.
