Carlos Correa To Sign With MN Twins For 6 Years, $200M: Reports

MINNEAPOLIS — All-Star shortstop and slugger Carlos Correa is set to resign with the Minnesota Twins for $200 million over six years, according to multiple reports.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthaland ESPN's Jeff Passan are reporting the deal is close, but both note that it is pending a physical.

Staff from the Twins are "very optimistic" about Correa's scheduled physical, notes The Athletic's Dan Hayes.

Correa opted out of his three-year, $105.3 million contract with the Twins after the 2022 season and was expected to sign a long-term deal with a major market team.

In a bid to get him back for another season, the Twins reportedly offered Correa a 10-year, $285 million offer. But in December, Correa apparently agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the Giants.

However, that deal fell apart after the Giants expressed concerns about the condition of Correa’s right ankle following a physical.

At that point, Correa's agent — Scott Boras — reopened talks with other teams. The New York Mets then swooped in and offered him a $315 million, 12-year contract. But that was 20 days ago, any nothing has been finalized.

Twins outfielder Byron Buxton appeared to confirm the reported news on Tuesday morning.
