The Minnesota Twins and free-agent infielder Carlos Correa have agreed to a six-year contract worth $200 million that includes a vesting option that could push the value to $270 million. The deal is the final twist in a month-long free agent saga for the star MLB infielder, who previously agreed to deals this winter with the Giants and Mets. The Twins deal was pending a physical — no sure thing this winter so far as Correa is concerned — but Correa passed the exam on Wednesday, allowing the Twins officially announce the signing.<\/p>\n

This resolution in Minnesota — where Correa also spent the 2022 season — comes after a messy several weeks in which the Mets and Correa reached a tentative agreement on a 12-year contract<\/span> worth $315 million before the Mets hesitated over the shortstop’s physical. It’s believed that the Mets had concerns about Correa’s right lower leg, which he had surgically repaired as a teenager<\/span>. Correa’s agreement with the Mets was preceded by his 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants that fell apart over similar concerns. His agent, Scott Boras, elected to move on and solicit other offers after the Giants took too long to reopen negotiations. <\/p>\n

In subsequent negotiations with the Mets, the team’s offer was reduced to six years, $157.5 million guaranteed with annual physicals, the NNew York Post<\/em> reports. Here’s a complete timeline of the Correa free agency saga<\/span>.<\/p>\n
