Major League Baseball has seen a flurry of free agent signings in December, and the biggest shock of hot stove season came a few days before Christmas. Carlos Correa, who originally agreed to a 13-year deal with the Giants, is now instead heading to the Mets. New York and Steve Cohen swooped in to land Correa after the Giants reportedly called off a press conference following Correa’s physical. It was a stunning move by the Mets, who have also brought in Justin Verlander and Kodai Senga this winter and re-signed Brandon Nimmo and Edwin Díaz.The biggest name in MLB free agency is staying put. Aaron Judge reached a record $360 million agreement to remain with the Yankees during the MLB Winter Meetings.
