There’s still no guarantee, but the Carlos Correa-Mets deal, by all rights, should get done. And here’s why.

1. Mets owner Steve Cohen badly wanted to do the deal. Just after the deal was completed around 2:45 am. EST (and 8:45 in Hawaii, where Cohen was) he told The Post, “We needed one more thing, and this is it.” Though he hasn’t spoken since, there’s no reason to think he’s changed his mind.

2. Correa badly wants this deal to happen. When his agent Scott Boras told him about the deal with the Mets, Boras recalled that Correa was so excited he tackled him in the San Francisco hotel room where they’d learned several hours earlier that the Giants weren’t ready to move forward with their $350 million, 13-year agreement. Presumably, Correa was happy to have a new deal for comparable money per year, in New York, and with a team that won 20 more games in 2022.
