Carlos Correa's Return Makes the Twins Playoff Contenders. Now They Must Add More

Minnesota won back its star shortstop in the end, but it has more work to do in its lineup as the re-signing sets its sights on October.

Carlos Correa officially returned to the Twins on Wednesday, putting an end to one of the most bizarre free-agency sagas in baseball history.
