When quizzed about why the Carlos deal fell through, he stated that he didn’t want to go into the finer details for privacy reasons and out of respect for Carlos.
Correa agreed to a $315m, 12-year deal with the Mets in December last year. The Mets had concerns about his ankle after a 22 December physical and held off finalizing the agreement while attempting to negotiate protections.
Despite losing out on Carlos, Eppler firmly believes that the Mets have a strong and deep lineup, capable of scoring runs and scoring big. He did maintain, however, that the Mets are always looking for better and that they are always in the market prowling for talent.
The Mets are looking confident this season, and it will be interesting to see just how far they go.
Billy Eppler is still interested in adding an outfielder this offseason
The Mets may already possess what Eppler calls “a strong and deep lineup,” but there is no denying that he’s still on the lookout for an outfielder in the market.
Veterans such as Jurickson Profar and Adam Duvall would definitely fill those roles up quite efficiently, but none of the likes of Correa.
