However, after a doctor working for the Giants took issue with Correa's physical, that deal fell through, and theThey then reportedly agreed to pay him $315 million over the next dozen years and slide him to third base.
The problem with the physical stems from a rod in Correa's ankle from 2014 surgery. Correa's deal with the Mets never reached the finish line after much back-and-forth.

But the one doctor used by the Giants and Mets"never touched me or seen me or done a test on me.
