Mets.com: Mets, Correa working through things after medical concerns (source). The Mets and Correa’s representatives are working through the situation, the source added, but it’s unclear when a resolution might be reached.

NY PostIt’s possible the two sides could rework the deal by altering the contract language to protect the Mets if a specific injury related to Correa’s lower right leg — which is apparently the area of concern — impacts his ability to perform at some point. 

ESPN.com: "Despite the latest delay, a deal with the Mets is still likely, according to the source, but the contract could be reworked to account for the issue. That reworking could simply be for fewer years and less money or could include language that doesn't guarantee a certain amount of money if Correa misses lengthy time because of the specific leg ailment."

Jon Heyman NY Post: Mets, Carlos Correa have every reason to get deal done despite medicals snag.

One of the best articles on the Carlos Correa issue came from Matt Musico at Elite Sports NY - Here’s what Mets doctors might be concerned about with Carlos Correa. Matt spoke to an injury expert who noted: "The worst-case scenario? Correa is experiencing avascular necrosis in and/or around his ankle. This could be caused by cartilage wearing down or an arthritic change in the area that was surgically repaired. [The injury expert Will] Carroll did say that while this is the worst thing that could be happening, it’s probably not an issue."
