At issue is a right ankle injury Correa sustained in the minor leagues and a plate that was installed during the subsequent surgery. Correa's deal with the Mets isn't official yet because of similar medical red flags, but it's expected to get done. The biggest lineup addition was All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa, who agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract after his 13-year, $350 million deal with San Francisco fell through over concern about his physical. Cohen also re-signed All-Star closer Edwin Diaz ($102 million) and outfielder Brandon Nimmo ($162 million). He filled other spots in the starting rotation with Jose Quintana ($26 million) and Japanese import Kodai Senga ($75 million). While New York lost two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom to Texas in free agency this offseason, Cohen replaced him with three-time Cy Young winner Justin Verlander on an $86 million deal. New York won 101 games but lost out on an NL East tiebreaker to Atlanta and was upset by the Padres in the wild-card round. The Mets' payroll was second at approximately $231 million. Just for a point of comparison, the Los Angeles Dodgers had the highest in 2022 at around $270 million ($302 million when including luxury tax payments) and led the majors with 111 wins before being upset in the NLDS by San Diego. The Mets are expected to have a payroll of nearly $500 million this season, including luxury tax fees, which would be by far the most in league history. Bettors at Caesars Sportsbook have responded by crushing his team to win the 2023 World Series – currently priced as +750 third favorites. The Mets' Steve Cohen is by far the richest owner in Major League Baseball, and he has flexed his financial muscle this offseason in his desperation to end that title drought. The New York Mets haven't won the World Series since 1986, when a storied club led by Dwight Gooden, Daryl Strawberry, Gary Carter and others memorably rallied from a 3-2 series deficit in the Fall Classic to stun Boston.
