How Carlos Correa’s free agency took him from Twins to Giants to Mets to Twins
Carlos Correa has signed a six-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. The deal is pending a physical. Corrao has been in free agency for a while. He was previously with Twins, Giants, Mets and Queens.
Carlos Correa opted out of his contract with the Twins and signed with New York Mets. Corrai has a metal plate implanted in his right leg after a major injury to his fibula. He has also had some issues with numbness near his ankle. He didn't play much last season because of the numbiness.
The Giants missed out on signing Carlos Correa to a long-term contract. The team had a disappointing offseason and missed the opportunity to make a splash. Correa hasn't played in the Major League since 2014 and his ankle injury didn't cost him any games. The Giants have made some decent acquisitions since then but not as good as signing Correr. They missed a chance to improve their team. It's difficult to recover from that. The club came back down to Earth in 2022 following a brilliant 2021 season.
The Mets missed out on signing a star shortstop. The Twins offered him a contract worth $157.5 million. Correa decided to sign with Minnesota instead. Steve Cohen is in hot water again. He has blown past the Steve Cohen Tax. He is going to be in trouble again in the form of a potential grievance. It's looking like it's a repeat of the Kumar Rocker situation from the 2021 MLB Draft. They are now in prime position to keep their star player around for a few seasons. For the Twins, it was an opportunity and potential. for the Mets it is a bit of damage to the team.
