Carlos Correa excited to be part of a new chapter in the Minnesota Twins history
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is eager to be a part of history as he dons his new uniform in the 2023 MLB season.
The Twins have had a long and storied history in Major League Baseball, dating back to their inception in 1901 as the Washington Senators. Over the years, the team has seen its fair share of ups and downs, from World Series championships to long stretches of losing seasons. But for Correa, who recently signed with the team in free agency, the future looks bright.
Carlos Correa, a former Houston Astros player, was a highly sought-after free agent this offseason. He opted out of his three-year contract and entered free agency after a year with the Twins.
However, after a couple of deals with other teams fell through, he decided to re-sign with the Twins on a six-year, $200 million deal.
Correa's arrival in Minnesota is certainly a big deal for the Twins. He's widely regarded as one of the best shortstops in the game, with a combination of power, speed, and defensive prowess that few players can match, and at just 28 years old, he still has plenty of good years ahead of him.
The Minnesota Twins recently released their new uniform, which has been emblematic of their desire to be among the top contenders in the MLB again.
Speaking on MLB Network Radio, Carlos Correa shared his views on what the new uniform means to the players. He said:
"This is a new chapter in Twins history. It starts with the new uniform. It starts with a team that's going to go out there and perform and be good for a long time."
"This is a new chapter in Twins history."
New uniforms. Same superstar shortstop.

Carlos Correa and the Twins aim for postseason success in the new MLB season
Having failed to qualify for the MLB postseason last year, the Minnesota Twins will hope for a better season in 2023. Of course, there's no guarantee that the new uniform will help produce results on the field, but it can provide a mental edge.
For Twins fans, the arrival of Carlos Correa is certainly cause for excitement. But it's also just the beginning of what could be a new era of success for the team.
With a talented roster, a commitment to building a winning culture, and a bright future ahead, the Twins are poised to make some noise in the coming years, and Carlos Correa is eager to be a part of it all.
