Sometimes the best thing is not to make a deal.If early results are any sign, that could be the case with the Mets and Carlos Correa.
The Minnesota Twins shortstop hurt his left foot, which could land him on the injured list, manager Rocco Baldelli said Wednesday.
An MRI showed that Correa had a muscle pull in the arch of his left foot and plantar fasciitis in his heel.
The 28-year-old wasn't in the lineup against the visiting San Francisco Giants for the second straight day.
Correa just started the first year of the $200 million, six-year deal he signed with the Minnesota Twins in the summer. He hit 24 home runs and drove in 64 runs in 136 games with the Twins last season.
Imagine what would have happened if the Mets had signed Carlos Correa. The Mets were ready to pay him $315 million over 12 years, but after reviewing his medical records, they dropped their offer because they were worried about his right ankle.
If the move had gone through, Correa would have been the starting third baseman for the Mets.
He had a metal plate put in to help support his right leg, which led to questions about his health for the rest of his career.
