Carlos Correa has had a frantic off-season so far with a number of events taking place. Despite being one of the most coveted free agents this off-season Correa is yet to sign a deal with a team. This is due to medical complications that arose during physical examinations with both the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets.

When the Giants found medical issues with Correa and slowed down the deal, he moved on and tried to find an agreement with the Mets. But the same problems were found in his medical with the Mets as well. The two sides have been negotiating recently and new updates on Correa’s deal with the Mets have popped up. And if the reports are true, the new update might be upsetting for Correa and his fans.

This would spell disaster for both sides as they have a lot invested in the deal. For Correa, this is likely the best deal on the market right now. If it falls through he may not get another long-term offer. On the other hand, the Mets will lose the chance to add a star like Correa to their already-loaded roster. Fans recently thought that the deal was about to go through but that appears to be far from the case. 

Which teams will go for Correa if the Mets deal falls through?

According to Clutch Points, the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins might try to sign Correa if the Mets deal fails. For the Braves it’s a simple way to replace the star shortstop that they lost in Dansby Swanson.
