It looks like Correa passed the MN physical, which is no surprise. What I do find surprising is that the Mets or Giants couldn't or wouldn't beat the Twins offer, which is not all that outlandish given what they had previously put on the table. Everyone knows the backend of these contracts are not economical for the team, so it seems that the Mets and Correa could have come to terms for a shorter contract that was more front-loaded ala what ultimately came to pass with Minnesota, IMO.
