brilliant move actually from Mets/Giants, will be insurances in place for savings on the salary if injury etc...and less risk on the contract overall...

Again, I'm not an insurance adjuster, but who in their right mind would insure this? It's not going into a pool. It would be an individual Lloyd's of London type policy I assume. I doubt they get a policy for less then half the total of the contract.

I would also think there's a lot less of a chance of getting a contract insured, with an injury history in place.

Insurance companies aren't in the business of losing money.

Just raises the cost of the contract for the team.

I don't think it's the "brilliant" outcome they hoped for when they tried to sign him. They're just trying to save face at this point, and hope it doesn't blow up in their face later on.

This is not a brilliant way to do business. It leaves your fans in the wind and makes it look like you’re not in control. You can bring up insurance but it’s not brilliant to sign a player you’re sure will get hurt.

Let's get it done

But i can understand taking their time both parties want to protect their interests and neither one wants to enter into a long term contract feeling bad about the contract otherwise the relationship starts off sour and that is never good especially when the partnership will be for many years

Yesterday, Correa tweeted a photo of his son wearing a " I Love NY" shirt. Caused a lot of speculation.
