“It’s going to be a fun year”- Minnesota Twins Star Believes Carlos Correa Partnership Could Go Places in MLB 2022 Season

Carlos Correa to the Minnesota Twins has to be one of the craziest deals in MLB history. Notably, after coming from a World Series-winning team, Correa chose to play for a mid-table team in Major League Baseball.

However, this will be a perfect stage for the star shortstop to prove why he is one of the best shortstops in the league. And after his arrival at the Twins, he is getting possible support from the Twins squad.

Recently, after a spring training game against the Atlanta Braves, Correa partnered with Byron Buxton at the top of the Twins lineup. And the duo showed a glimpse of how much destruction they can cause for any opposition during the 2022 regular season.

Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa shine in the Twins’ win over Atlanta Braves

Almost ten years ago, in 2012, Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton were two of the top picks in the MLB draft. The Houston Astros snagged Correa as their first pick in the 2012 MLB draft, while Buxton headed to the Twins. And now, ten years later, once again the two are united at the Twins. 

Earlier on Friday, when the Minnesota Twins played their spring training game against the current world champion the Atlanta Braves, both Correa and Buxton batted as No. 1 and 2 for the Twins. And guess what? The dynamic duo powered the Twins to win 8-7 over the Braves. This was just a glimpse of what they can do for the rest of the season.

When asked, Buxton said that it was fun to bat with Correa. And it is going to be a fun year. “Today was fun, just to see me and him hit one and two. It’s going to be a fun year. A very fun year.”

Notably, Carlos Correa signed a short-term deal with the Minnesota Twins after his contract expired with the Astros. After being linked with the Yankees and Cubs, Correa signed a three-year contract with the Twins for a whopping $105.3 million. His contact with the Twins also includes multiple opt-outs.
