A bad day for the San Francisco Giants. The prize acquisition of the offseason by the Giants, shortstop Carlos Correa, will now be joining the New York Mets. This information was first reported by MLB reporter Jon Heyman at midnight on Tuesday.

Correa was scheduled to be introduced by the Giants on Tuesday morning as part of a 13-year, $350 million contract. The Giants called off their news conference just a few hours beforehand. When they noticed something about Correa's medical status, word spread swiftly.

Giants fans expected the news to be untrue, but sadly, Susan Slusser from the San Francisco Chronicle swiftly verified the information.
