Carlos Correa’s offseason has been in contrast to every other for one participant in latest historical past. One of many greatest free brokers accessible heading into the recent range season, Correa was introduced as a signing for 3 completely different groups.

Ultimately, he completed proper the place he began, returning to the Minnesota Twins. However the failed physicals that prevented contracts with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets are essentially the most stunning occasions of the offseason. There are extra questions now than when every little thing began.

On the middle of the problem was Correa’s ankle, which has a plate in it from a minor league surgical procedure. Regardless of having not induced any points within the shortstop’s main league profession to this point, the danger was too daunting for the Giants or Mets to signal Correa to the large contracts that had been agreed upon. The query was clear, do the Mets and Giants know one thing the Twins don’t – or did they overthink the scenario?

In keeping with the newest SB Nation Reacts survey, the reply isn’t that straightforward. Followers from across the nation had been requested if they’d really feel comfy if their favourite staff signed Correa. Lower than 50 % stated they’d be on board.

However making issues extra complicated, it doesn’t seem the outdated damage is the problem. Roughly two thirds of followers stated they didn’t assume the ankle can be an issue within the subsequent two seasons. Which means the issue had extra to do with Correa as a participant and the scale and size of the contract.

That was backed up by how followers really feel concerning the free agent choices from this offseason. When requested which signee was essentially the most impactful, Correa completed with solely the fourth most votes.

Aaron Decide, who returned to the New York Yankees, completed effectively forward of the sphere with greater than a 3rd of the vote. He was adopted by Trea Turner and Justin Verlander earlier than Correa.
