The number of Athletic’s Twins: “Even the twins were worried”
Carlos Correa, who became a free agent from the Twins and had agreed to join the Mets, also appears to have raised concerns about the physical exams. He was aiming for a formal deal by Christmas, but a massive $315 million (about 41.82 billion yen) 12-year contract is being forced to revise.
The hard-hitting shortstop, who boasts 155 total home runs, settled with the Giants for a total of $350 million (about 46,468 million yen) in 2013, the most ever for an infielder. However, there were concerns about the physical exam and the membership interview scheduled for the 20th was postponed shortly before. Subsequently, he settled with the Mets for a total of $315 million (about 41.82 billion yen) over 12 years.
As for Correa, the Twins, who belonged to this season, also aimed to extend the contract. However, reporter Dan Hayes of US media ‘The Athletic’ tweeted: “The twins had concerns too.” Many fans responded to Correa’s Twitter feed, including reporter Ken Rosenthal from the same outlet.
“Correa would like to put his past breakdown history in an airtight container. I think he would like to throw it in the trash.”
“I have never seen such a bizarre event in any sport.”
“What are the chances that you will eventually go back to Gemini?”
“(Correa’s contract) has become like a luxury brand outlet.”
“Eventually teams like the Athletics will buy it cheap.”
“I wonder if I’ll be a DH in the future.”
“The Angels should sign him on the cheap”
According to The Athletic, the Mets have expressed concerns about endoscopic surgery for a fracture near their right ankle and minor ligament damage during the 2014 Astros run.
