Reply to comment by SumyungNam in Carlos Correa agrees to 12-year, $315 million contract with Mets after Giants deal falls through by elizabeth-cooper

Considered by some to be one of the best shortstops in the league. Won a WS with the Astros. Has a tendency to get injured but he’s good on offense and defense, which for the Mets is a huge improvement. Worth about 5 wins above replacement on average.

Is he overpaid? Probably, but so was pretty much every free agent shortstop in the last 2-3 years. It’s a really limited market, and Correa is seen as one of the better players in that market. Considering what the Giants offered him, you could say the Mets got a deal?

But if he's playing third for like 280 20 hr and 70 rbi that kinda sucks...if he was playing short or catcher it would be great lol...compared to SF yea the Mets got a much better deal...hope he stays healthy and productive...they gave him Aaron judge money almost
