'Correa-mas' came early for the Mets. A medical concern by the Giants was all Steve Cohen needed to swoop in and strike a deal for Carlos Correa. Inside his stunning pivot from San Francisco to the Mets ⤵️
when team officials learned about the Correa postponement. Minnesota had been keen to keep Correa around after a fruitful partnership in 2022, but declined to out-bid San Francisco. The team was willing to re-engage, even as the Associated Press reported that the Giants were balking at a medical issue. The Twins had a solid understanding of Correa’s medical history, having just employed him. And the team had still been willing to make a 10-year, $285 million offer.
But that was not the only track upon which Boras operated. He also contacted the Twins, according to people familiar with the situation. The presence of the Mets gave Boras leverage. If Minnesota wanted Correa, Boras conveyed, the team needed to improve its earlier offer – even though Correa appeared compromised with the Giants. The Twins would not have advanced the conversation without investigating the potential issues caused by Correa’s physical.
“I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but it’s Steve Cohen,” one Mets official said. “He’s shown he’s an absolute madman when it comes to doing what it takes to win.”
