Now, his physical with the Mets has raised concerns as well, The Post\u2019s Jon Heyman confirmed on Saturday. The Athletic first reported the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Mets and Correa\u2019s camp are trying to work through the issue with his agreed-upon 12-year, $315 million deal hanging in the balance. It\u2019s possible the two sides could rework the deal by altering the contract language to protect the Mets if a specific injury related to Correa\u2019s lower right leg \u2014 which is apparently the area of concern \u2014 impacts his ability to perform at some point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Correa had surgery on his right leg in 2014 to repair a fractured fibula and ligament damage. The 28-year-old has not had any stints on the injured list for a leg issue during his major league career, and has only missed 42 games over the last three seasons combined (with his only IL stints for COVID-19 and a middle finger contusion). He has not had any treatment on his right leg since coming back from the initial injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Twins_Tigers_Baseball_25503jpg-58edd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Twins_Tigers_Baseball_25503jpg-58edd.jpg\" alt=\"Carlos Correa was in New York on Thursday and Friday for his Mets physical.\" class=\"wp-image-25127872\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Twins_Tigers_Baseball_25503jpg-58edd.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Twins_Tigers_Baseball_25503jpg-58edd.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Twins_Tigers_Baseball_25503jpg-58edd.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\"   style=\"display:none\"><\/a><figcaption>Carlos Correa was in New York on Thursday and Friday for his Mets physical.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>But the Giants were reportedly concerned about the stability of Correa\u2019s leg and how it might impact his mobility, which is why his initial 13-year, $350 million deal with San Francisco hit a snag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Correa was in New York on Thursday and Friday to undergo his physical for the Mets after the contract was agreed to early Wednesday morning.

There also are a dwindling number of teams that would still be willing to hand out a huge contract this late in the offseason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The leg issue did come into focus briefly late last season, according to The Athletic, when Correa had a hard slide into second base and stayed down before limping off, though he did not miss any time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe just hit my plate,\u201d Correa told reporters, referring to the hardware inserted into his leg from the surgery. \u201cI had surgery and he hit it. 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 it was good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Boras said Thursday that Correa had been examined by Christopher Camp, the Twins\u2019 team doctor and an orthopedic surgeon from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, after the 2022 season and received a \u201crecommendation for over a 10-year contract.\u201d But The Athletic has since reported that the Twins, who offered Correa a 10-year, $285 million deal before he initially picked the Giants, had not \u201cthoroughly examined\u201d Correa since his original physical last March.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Correa\u2019s physical with the Mets was set to be the last step before his deal became official, just as it was to have been for the Giants.
