MLB Insider on Carlos Correa's ongoing contract saga: "Both sides want it and need it to happen....especially Correa. It's gonna get done"

Carlos Correa and the New York Mets are seemingly still in negotiations despite previous reports that they agreed to a deal. After issues were raised during Correa's physical exam, the deal was put on hold. Since then, information has been nearly nonexistent.

This has been the most intriguing story of the offseason. Correa's physical exam results have already terminated one agreement and jeopardized the other. As the MLB world waits on with bated breath, the two sides are working towards a deal to satisfy both parties.

MLB insider Pat Ragazzo provided this update to the unfolding story on Twitter.

From a source who gives the Mets and Correa a 51-49 chance of striking a deal: "Both sides want it and need it to happen....especially Correa. It's gonna get done." - Pat Ragazzo

The 51-49 percent chance of a deal being made is rather telling about where talks currently stand. While it is more likely that a deal gets done than not, there is no shortage of doubt.
