Mets swoop in overnight to sign Carlos Correa for $315m after Giants deal stalls

• Mets swoop in for Correa on $315m, 12-year deal, sources say
• All-Star shortstop had apparently signed with Giants last week
• Correa's Giants deal reportedly stalled due to medical issue

In a wild twist overnight, Carlos Correa agreed to a $315m, 12-year contract with the free-spending New York Mets after his pending deal with the San Francisco Giants came apart over an issue with his physical.

The agreement with the Mets was confirmed to the Associated Press by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal was subject to a successful physical. Details were first reported by the New York Post.
