The recruitment of Carlos Correa (29), which was spearheaded by the billionaire owner, eventually collapsed after tedious negotiations. The ambitious dream of bringing in superstars to create a super-luxurious club has come to nothing. Fans are also very disappointed. But what the Mets have is ‘money’. Wounded pride can be healed again with money.

Correa heads back to Minnesota. Local media in the United States reported on the 11th (Korean time) that Minnesota and Correa had signed a six-year, $200 million contract. 

Correa, who signed a three-year, $105.3 million free agent contract last year, declared an opt-out after only playing for one year in Minnesota, and was valued again in the free agent market.

At the end of last year, he agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. Correa transfer saga seemed to end blandly. But the medical test got in the way. San Francisco looked at the results of the medical test right before the initiation ceremony and went into contemplation, and the contract flowed into an atmosphere of cancellation.

At this time, Mets owner Steve Cohen and agent Scott Boras urgently contacted each other, and a new 12-year, $315 million contract was completed. However, the Mets did not happen either. In 2014, he took issue with the iron core planted in the area where he suffered a right fibula fracture and ligament damage, and it became an obstacle to a long-term contract. After that, the two sides continued tense negotiations for about three weeks, but failed to reach an agreement.

In the end, after opting out, Minnesota offered a 10-year offer of $285 million, but was rejected, and the opportunity came again and signed a contract with a vesting option. According to Ken Rosenthal of ‘The Athletic,’ he will earn $36 million, $36 million, $36 million, $31.5 million, $30.5 million, and $30 million over six years.

When the vesting option (four years) is exercised, it becomes a 10-year, $270 million contract. According to John Heyman, he just needs to make 502 at-bats in the final year of his six-year contract. Annual salaries for years 7-10 (total of $70 million) are $25 million, $20 million, $15 million, and $10 million, respectively.

Mets billionaire owner Cohen longed for Correa 슬롯사이트. No other team has had more money this winter than the Mets, or more money than Cohen. However, he needed one last shot and tried to fill it with Correa. However, his long-term contract faced a variable called physical condition, and the owner could not go against the will of the working staff.

But the Mets need to get their cool again. ‘USA Today’, a national media outlet in the United States, said, ‘Let’s look for coolness for a moment. A team that already won 101 games spent a hefty $451 million to acquire outfielder Brandon Nemo, closer Edwin Diager, starters Justin Verlander, Senga Godai and Jose Quintana.”

However, he explained that there is no player with the presence of Correa. “None of them has a player like Correa, who has brought his team five to seven wins in four or more of his six full-time seasons,” he said. You have to trust me,’ he said.

Mets fans may have been disappointed with Cohen’s owner, who seemed like money could solve everything. The media said, “Most importantly, Mets fans have to accept the fact that Cohen, who is estimated at $17 billion, has reached his limits.” Both Cohen and his fans confirmed that money isn’t the answer to medical records. 

However, the Mets predicted that they would be looking for another superstar. The media said, ‘The anxiety of missing Correa can be forgotten in a year. If he successfully targets Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels) or Manny Machado (San Diego) in the free agent market, he will be able to forget the riddles in the Correa negotiations.” 

Ohtani, who doubles as a two-hander, will be eligible for a free agent at the end of this year. There are already prospects that contracts of more than 500 million dollars are possible. Machado, San Diego’s leader and MVP third baseman, signed a 10-year, $300 million contract in 2019, but he can opt out after this season.
