While playing for the New York Yankees, A-Rod dominated an era in MLB. Given his career records, Carlos Correa is also on the same track. At the age of 27, Correa is already a World Series winner. Considering his all-around display in the ballpark, Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez compared Correa with the NBA legend LeBron James.

Notably, earlier this year, after getting linked with the teams like the New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs, Correa signed a short-term deal with the Minnesota Twins. Correa’s current deal with the Twins is worth a massive $105.3 million for three years. This contract also includes Correa to opt-out in the first two years, if he gets a better deal from a better team.
Now, with Correa by their side, do you think the Minnesota Twins stand any chance to win the division championship in the 2022 season?
