Since the onset of Aaron Judge’s free agency, this offseason has seen a multitude of developments. Especially the San Francisco Giants, who failed twice, and both times, at stake, were two superstars. Nevertheless, after concerns regarding Carlos Correa’s physical, his 13-year contract worth $350 million became void. Correspondingly, under the colossus pocket of hedge fund manager Steve Cohen, the New York Mets entered the Carlos Correa bidding war. And the two parties almost agreed to an 11-year, $315 million deal until Correa’s physical came in the middle again. Now, both parties stand at a stalemate, and curious fans await an update on the same.
Amidst this, fans pensively awaited an update on the 28-year-old Puerto Rican, Mets YouTuber, who goes by WardyNYM shared a shocking and rather unexpected update on the Carlos Correa situation. An update that implies the nearing end of the shortstop’s landing spot.

The giant Carlos Correa debate is reaching its ending days
Despite an almost-locked deal, the 2017 World Champion’s right ankle interfered, and played a role in halting talks. Most recent rumors and reports suggested that despite sending a plane to pick him up from Houston, Steve Cohen was ready to look the other way after difficult discussions with the shortstop continued parallelly. Similarly, as reported by Tyler, Cohen has blatantly suggested that the question at hand will soon find an answer.
I just asked Steve Cohen what his thoughts were on Correa, and he said the following:
“While I can’t speak on the player, I do believe we’ll have a resolution soon one way or the other”
From the man’s mouth himself folks! #LGM

In conversation with Cohen, Tyler reported quoting the $16 billion man. And he said, “While I can’t speak on the player, I do believe we’ll have a resolution soon one way or the other.”
Barring this update, another rumor suggested that Scott Boras, Correa’s agent, has begun conversations with other teams, including Correa’s previous team, Minnesota Twins. At the same time, the Orange and Blue have grown increasingly frustrated with the negotiations.
How did fans react to the excessively diplomatic response from Steve Cohen?
While multiple fans praised Wardy for the update, various other fans stand hopefully and desperately crave an update on the situation.
Thanks for the inside scoop!

If in his presence, I would think his body language would be telling if he thought a Correa deal is likely.

Correa and Boras need to realized no team is giving him more than 5-6 years once they come to that reality they sign with the highest bidder.

Him saying “can’t speak on the player” clearly is an early cop out to “this was on boras and Correa” he won’t be a Met
