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?
