The New York Mets and Carlos Correa are 'confident they can find a contract agreement in the coming days', despite concerns from the team about his 2014 leg injury that needed surgery to repair the damage. 

Correa's future has been the talk of the baseball world for the past week after a huge $350million deal with the Giants fell through due to their concerns over his physical.

In the wake of that, the Mets swooped in with a $315m offer, but they too have stalled with the same worries, leading to much confusion over where the All-Star shortstop will end up.

Now, though, the New York Post are reporting that both parties are still confident an agreement can be reached, despite initial skepticism on the part of the team. 

Last week, Correa's agent was quick to play down concerns over the player's health, insisting there is 'no issue whatsoever' - despite both the Giants and Mets stepping back from the negotiating table when the subject of his 2014 injury came up.

The problem, which occurred when he was a 19-year-old prospect with the Houston Astros, required surgery to repair a fractured right fibula and ligament damage.

It has been reported that since the Mets raised concerns, other teams have swooped in to enquire about Correa's availability, but it is New York who remain frontrunners in the chase.

Billionaire owner Steve Cohen has been splashing the cash during the offseason as the team's 'win now' motto becomes ever more evident.

Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga are two big names through the door already, while an eight-year $162m new contract for fan favorite Brandon Nimmo has left fans feeling optimistic.

Overall, the team from Flushing have committed a Major League-record $806.1m to free agents, with their annual wage bill closing in on half a billion dollars. 

If Correa's 12-year, $315m deal goes through in the coming days, the Mets would surely be one of the favorites to win the World Series come next November.
