It is Dec. 27, and Carlos Correa doesn’t have an official home. No news conferences have been scheduled. There are no pictures of him smiling and holding up a jersey. Mike Puma of the New York Post is hearing from a source that there’s a 55 percent chance Correa will eventually sign with the Mets, which is down 44.9 percent from last week.<\/p>\n
Mets fans are nervous, as they should be. It’s easy to jump to conclusions and hunt for evidence where none exists, but the Mets charged into this offseason with bravado and decisiveness. If they’re being this cautious with the cherry on top of their winter sundae, there’s only one reason: The issues with Correa’s ankle are considerable, legitimate and worrisome.<\/p>\n
While the Giants can’t speak to the exact nature of the medical issue that made them reconsider their offer, and Correa’s agent, Scott Boras, has hundreds of millions of reasons to obfuscate and minimize, it seems almost certain that Correa’s right ankle is the area of \u200b\u200bconcern.<\/p>\n
In September, Correa was thrown out trying to steal, and he clutched at that ankle.<\/p>\n
After the game, Correa said his reaction had something to do with the plate in his leg.<\/p>\n
\nTook a sec, but Carlos Correa quickly realized his surgically-repairs ankle was OK. #MNTwins<\/a>
\u201cHe just hit my plate. \u2026 He Just kind of felt numb, vibrating. So I was just waiting for it to calm down. It was a little scary, but when I moved I knew I was good.”<\/p>\n
