“Correa-mas” may be on hold.
After his deal with the Giants fell apart earlier this week because of a discrepancy in his medical evaluation, Carlos Correa’s physical with the Mets has now raised concerns as well, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed on Saturday. The Athletic first reported the news.
The issue is reportedly Correa’s lower right leg, which he had surgery on in 2014 to repair a fractured fibula.
The Mets and Correa’s camp are now trying to work through the concern.
Correa, 28, was in New York on Thursday and Friday to undergo his physical with the Mets after agreeing to a 12-year, $315 million deal, and his agent, Scott Boras, voiced confidence that the deal would become official by Christmas.
“There is no current issue with Carlos’ health whatsoever,” Boras said Thursday. “There’s been a lot of discussion about backs and ankles. There’s nothing about him that is currently any form of a medical issue.
“All the conjecture and evaluation of him has been about physicians using their crystal ball for years to come.”
