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.
By now, the 28-year-old shortstop’s journey has been well documented. He first agreed to sign with the Giants for 13 years and $350 million, a deal that fell apart after Correa failed a physical due to an injury to his lower right leg that was surgically repaired in 2014 (when he was still in the minors).
