Here’s what the latest development means for the shortstop, Minnesota and the Mets.
Carlos Correa appears to be heading back to Minnesota.
Well, the third time is the charm. Superstar shortstop Carlos Correa is reportedly signing with the Twins after his megadeal with the Mets fell through. The contract, which is pending a physical, is for a guaranteed six years and $200 million, with a vesting option for an additional four years and $70 million, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Correa, 28, had initially signed a 13-year, $350 million deal with the Giants last month during winter meetings, but San Francisco released Correa from the agreement after team doctors were concerned about his surgically repaired right leg.
