Part 5/8:
What makes Correa enticing is not only his performance when healthy but also his current contract situation. With $133 million remaining over four years, it’s a manageable amount compared to the anticipated contracts of other free-agent third basemen like Willie Adames and Alex Bregman. The temptation to employ Correa alongside fellow Puerto Rican star Francisco Lindor could serve as an added motivation for the player, both personally and professionally.
However, the roadblock remains the Twins’ willingness to trade their star and whether Correa would consider the Mets. While it seems improbable, the Mets could offer a unique situation for Correa that allows him to thrive again—provided medical clearance is achieved.
