Carlos Correa – Ticket rain-maker?

The addition of Correa to the mix only strengthens their bid for a pennant. It is perhaps to capitalize on this that fans will be flocking to the Twins home stadium to catch some baseball action.

The Twins’ tickets reportedly roared atop the sales charts after the announcement of superstar signing Carlos Correa came through; the announcement gave them an amazing 100,000 tickets sold in the season already.

The Minnesota Twins, although having not contended for the pennant for a few years, now have suddenly become very real contenders. After calling through a 5 player trade with the Yankees, which landed them Gio Urshela and Gary Sanchez in exchange for a few of their roster pieces, the Twins have actually put together a contending squad.
