MLB insider reports Carlos Correa is finalizing a deal with the Minnesota Twins for six-years and 200 million dollars
Carlos Correa is finalizing a six-year contract with the Minnesota Twins worth $200 million. This is a shocking turn of events, as Correa was deep in discussions with the New York Mets until issues arose in his physical. The deal with the Mets came about after Correa's agreement with the San Francisco Giants similarly fell through.
This makes it the third contract that Correa has agreed to this offseason. However, this one will likely be the one that lasts due to his familiarity with the team. It may not have been his first choice, but he will almost definitely be playing for the Twins for the foreseeable future.
Jeff Passan was the first to break the news that Correa would be heading back to the Minnesota Twins via Twitter.
