RIPPA Posted January 6, 2023 Author Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hey! Remember Carlos Correa? Newest reports are that Scott Boras is now talking to at least one other team besides the Mets (the team potentially is the Twins) The Mets want to add language to the deal that protects them from a long term Correa injury Quote Multiple reports in recent weeks have suggested the Mets are looking to add language that’d allow them to get out of part of the contract if Correa suffers a serious right leg injury. Puma first reported a week ago such a concept was under discussion. Ken Rosenthal reiterated that on The Athletic’s podcast on Tuesday, suggesting the deal would require some kind of modification to protect the Mets in case of injury. Heyman echoes those reports, writing the Mets are insistent on including some kind of injury provision. According to Heyman, the club doesn’t want to make any major changes to the base 12-year, $315MM structure. They do, however, apparently want to build in a manner of lowering that guarantee and/or allowing them to get out of the contract early in the event Correa spends a certain amount of time on the injured list with a right leg problem specifically. How long such an IL stint would have to be and how many years or dollars could be voided in the case of an injury would have to be agreed upon by both sides, and it seems those issues are holding up the contract’s finalization. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/01/carlos-correas-camp-in-discussions-with-at-least-one-team-other-than-mets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like Mick Foley refusing to do a spot because it's too dangerous. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
