At the middle of the problem was Correa’s ankle, which has a plate in it from a minor league surgical procedure. Despite having not brought about any points within the shortstop’s main league profession up to now, the chance was too daunting for the Giants or Mets to signal Correa to the large contracts that have 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?
