“Are We Sure This Time?” – Fresh Update on Carlos Correa’s Final MLB Home Leaves Thousands in Limbo

Carlos Correa has had an eventful last few weeks of free agency. The All-Star shortstop has seen deals with two teams get confirmed and then hit roadblocks due to medical issues. The first was a historic 13-year $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. 

When that deal hit a roadblock the Mets swept in and offered Correa a 12-year $315 million deal. But the Mets also raised the same issue with Correa’s medicals and the deal stalled in recent days. This put Correa in a difficult position as he wasn’t able to get a deal done for so long. But there is no need to worry as the All-Star is currently finalizing a deal with a team. The surprising thing is that the deal is not with the Giants or the Mets. 

Carlos Correa is close to finalizing a deal with the Minnesota Twins

According to the latest reports, Carlos Correa is close to finalizing a deal with the Minnesota Twins. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported the news via Twitter. In a Tweet, Passan confirmed that Correa and the Twins are close to agreeing a 6-year $200 million deal. Furthermore, the deal will include 4-years and $70 million as a vesting option. This will become official if Correa passes the medical review he is currently undergoing.

In the Tweet, Passan said “BREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal has a vesting option that can max out at $270 million. It is pending physical.” It will be good to see this deal get finalized.

Many fans have reacted to the breaking news with both happiness and doubt. Some fans are excited that Correa is finally signing a deal and others are wondering whether it will actually happen.

But fans doubting whether the deal will happen is not surprising. Both the Mets and Giants found issues with Correa’s medicals and fans suspect the Twins will have the same issues. But reports say that the Twins are unlikely to find the same issues as they are most familiar with Correa’s health. 

What medical issues did the Giants and Mets have problems with?

According to MLB.com, “the issue is regarding Correa’s surgically repaired lower right leg.” The All-star shortstop fractured his right fibula in 2014 and underwent surgery to fix it. This has reportedly raised concerns with the Giants and Mets over Correa’s long-term health.

But the Twins are unlikely to have the same issue as they are familiar with Correa’s fitness. Furthermore, Correa has not sustained an injury in that area since the first incident. This makes it more likely for the Twins to agree to the deal. What do you think about Carlos Correa going back to the Twins? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
