Mike Puma NY Post: Mets, Carlos Correa mum on status of negotiations after holdup. "There is optimism a deal can still be completed between Correa and the Mets, with one source on Monday placing the likelihood at 55 percent that the two sides find common ground. Among the possibilities is added contract language that would protect the Mets from financial responsibility if Correa’s pre-existing condition sidelined him for an extended stretch. Correa’s agent, Scott Boras, worked out a similar contract clause with J.D. Martinez following a five-year agreement with the Red Sox for $110 million."

NY Post: Carlos Correa celebrates Christmas with family while awaiting Mets fate.

The Score: Report: 3 teams recently contacted Correa after Mets' physical issues.

Clutchpoints: 2 teams that must sign Carlos Correa if Mets deal falls through.  The Braves and Twins are seen as "2 ballclubs who must pursue Carlos Correa if the Mets deal falls through."

MLB.com: One player from each team poised to break out in '23 - For the Mets it is David Peterson "The former first-round pick hit 99 mph on the radar gun late in the year, and his underlying numbers have improved significantly since he broke into the Majors in 2020."
