The San Francisco Giants postponed a news conference Tuesday to introduce Carlos Correa after a medical concern arose during the All-Star shortstop’s physical, according to two people with direct knowledge of the situation.
The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Giants have not announced any details regarding Correa’s 13-year, $350 million agreement, not even that Tuesday’s availability was to introduce the prized free agent.One person confirmed that Tuesday’s conference to welcome Correa was put on hold because the sides were awaiting the results of testing. A second person said a medical issue was flagged during Correa’s physical.
Just about the only knock on Correa’s resume is durability. He has played at least 150 games in a season only once because of various injuries. Correa hit .291 with 22 home runs and 64 RBIs in his one season in Minnesota. The Astros selected him with the No. 1 pick in the 2012 amateur draft, and he played a key role in their rise from the bottom of the AL West to the franchise’s first World Series title in 2017.The Astros championship was tainted by a sign-stealing scheme, and Correa has been lustily booed in some cities since the scandal surfaced.
