In a shocking turn of events, Carlos Correa will not play for the San Francisco Giants, instead signing a 12-year, $325 million contract with the New York Mets.
Correa will likely play third base for the Mets, as he did when the New York Yankees acquired Alex Rodriguez, with Rodriguez moving to third and Derek Jeter already short. The Mets have Francisco Lindor under contract through 2031. Correa and Lindor are both from the same native Puerto Rico.
Here is our 2023 projected starting lineup for the Mets as of December 21st through 2022:
1) CF Brandon Nimmo .274/.367/.800
2) 3B Carlos Correa .291/.366/.834
3) SS Francisco Lindor .270/.339/.788
4) 1B Pete Alonso .271/.352/.870
5) 2B Jeff McNeil .326/.382/.836
