Carlos Correa

Carlos Correa has agreed to a six-year, $200 million Minnesota Twins contract significantly less in overall value than the previous offers he received from the ...

Since he’s apparently staying put with the Twins, the Mets may give rookie Brett Baty a chance to unseat veteran incumbent Eduardo Escobar. The owner of a Rookie of the Year trophy, Gold Glove, and World Series ring, he has a .279 lifetime average and 155 home runs over eight seasons, most of them with the Houston Astros. A healthy Correa is one of the best shortstops in the game. He has had no issues with it since but told reporters last year that the leg went numb and vibrated after a hard slide into second base. Correa was widely considered the best of four elite shortstops eligible for free agency during the current off-season. In addition, the team is familiar with him because he was with them last year.

In the most stunning moment of the offseason, the Twins have agreed to re-sign shortstop Carlos Correa. Get all the details at MLB Trade Rumors.

Kirilloff could see most of his time at first base, but even still, the Twins have as many as four viable corner outfielders for two spots — and that’s not even factoring in right-handed-hitting bench options like [Kyle Garlick](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/garliky01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-10_br) and [Gilberto Celestino](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/celesgi01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-10_br). USA Today’s Bob Nightengale [tweeted](https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1612863207508684801) that the contract did not contain opt-outs. While the Twins might have erred toward gearing up for a transitional year in the wake of missing out on Correa, suddenly retaining him on the largest contract in franchise history figures to spur the front office into further activity. Correa didn’t miss any time following that incident, however, and he went on to bat .346/.393/.481 with a homer and four doubles in 56 plate appearances from the day of that scare through season’s end. [Royce Lewis](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lewisro02.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-10_br) might fit into the equation once he’s back to full health. The Mets still offered Correa the ability to match the original 12 years and $315MM they put on the table, but the back half of the contract was conditional and the team ostensibly would not budge from its stance on the matter. The Mets, who hadn’t previously been involved in the Correa bidding, swooped in and agreed to a new 12-year, $315MM deal with Correa just days later, but New York raised similar concerns on Dec. Originally, Correa came to terms with the Giants on a 13-year, $350MM deal that blew the runner-up Twins out of the water. That number drops to 550 in 2029 (in order to vest his 2030 option), 525 in 2030 (to vest his 2031 option) and 502 in 2031 (to vest his 2032 option). The former Rookie of the Year and Platinum Glove winner has reportedly agreed to a new six-year, $200MM contract with the Twins, which comes with four additional vesting options that can take the value of the contract to $270MM over a decade-long term. The vesting options are valued at $25MM (2029), $20MM (2030), $15MM (2031) and $10MM (2032) and each become guaranteed if Correa reaches 502 plate appearances in the preceding season. [Carlos Correa](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/correca01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.mlbtraderumors.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-10_br)’s unprecedented free-agent saga looks to finally be drawing to a close, and it turns out he won’t even have to look for a new place to live.

On Sunday, Bowden again went on MLB Network Radio and said a deal between Mets and Correa was just a matter of when it gets done. All of that came after he opted out of the final two years of the three-year, $105 million deal with signed in the Twins in March 2022. It's been a wild ride for Correa and the teams courting him this winter. As Passan says, the deal with the Twins is pending a physical, which is what led to the apparent holdups in San Francisco and New York because of apparent concerns about Correa's surgically-repaired ankle, which he had operated on in 2014 following an injury he suffered in the minor leagues. According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale, the Mets dumped their initial offer of 12 years for $315 million guaranteed to six years and $157.5 million guaranteed. Nightengale had more on what Correa could make if the deal extends past six seasons.

Cuando los Giants se negaron a darle a Correa el cuarto trato más grande en la historia del béisbol debido a la pierna, él no perdió el tiempo y estuvo de acuerdo con los Mets menos de 12 horas después. Mientras tanto, los Mets llegarán al entrenamiento de primavera sin el jugador que el propietario del jugador, Steve Cohen, le dijo al New York Post que "nos pone en la cima" justo después de que el equipo y Correa acordaran los términos. Correa bateó .291/.366/.467 con 22 jonrones y una defensa de alto nivel, lo que dejó a los Mellizos con la esperanza de que consideraría regresar después de solicitar la agencia libre. Las conversaciones con los Mets se acercaron a las tres semanas, y la falta de progreso sustancial empujó a Correa nuevamente al mercado, con exámenes médicos cuestionables y todo. Después de que los Giants expresaron su preocupación por la reparación quirúrgica de la pierna derecha de Correa, rápidamente se pasó a los Mets, quienes le ofrecieron un contrato por 12 años y $315 millones. La atención se centrará en la parte inferior de su pierna derecha, que se rompió en 2014 durante un juego de ligas menores. El acuerdo incluye una opción de adquisición que puede agregar otros cuatro años al acuerdo y se hará oficial si Correa pasa una revisión médica, que se espera que comience el martes y continúe hasta el miércoles, según las fuentes. Los Mets también mostraron preocupación por su estado físico, y los esfuerzos para enmendar el acuerdo fracasaron, lo que llevó a Correa de regreso a Minnesota, donde también firmó después de una temporada baja turbulenta el año pasado.

Star shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, pending a physical, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

[Francisco Lindor](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32129/francisco-lindor), whom Correa had planned on playing next to at third base. Talks with the Mets approached three weeks, and the lack of substantive progress pushed Correa back onto the market, questionable medicals and all. The Mets, meanwhile, will come into spring training without the player owner Steve Cohen told the New York Post "puts us over the top" right after the team and Correa agreed to terms. The focus will be on his lower right leg, which he broke in 2014 during a minor league game, and a source said the Twins expect to be comfortable with it. Correa hit .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs and high-level defense, leaving the Twins hopeful he would consider returning after he filed for free agency. When the Giants balked at giving Correa the fourth-largest deal in baseball history because of the leg, he wasted no time, agreeing with the Mets less than 12 hours later. The Mets flagged his physical as well, and efforts to amend the deal fell apart, leading Correa back to Minnesota, where he signed after a topsy-turvy offseason last year, too. After the Giants raised concerns about Correa's surgically repaired right leg, he pivoted quickly to the Mets, who offered him a 12-year, $315 million contract. All the while, they lurked as the fallback plan for Correa, thrilled to potentially add him to a lineup that also includes All-Stars [Byron Buxton](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32655/byron-buxton) and [Luis Arraez](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/39572/luis-arraez) in addition to top prospect [Royce Lewis](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40635/royce-lewis), [Jose Miranda](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41000/jose-miranda), [Jorge Polanco](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/32525/jorge-polanco), [Max Kepler](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31870/max-kepler), [Nick Gordon](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33705/nick-gordon), [Alex Kirilloff](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/40636/alex-kirilloff) and [Trevor Larnach](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/41205/trevor-larnach).

The The news comes less than a month after Correa's reported deal with the Giants fell through due to concerns about his physical. He exercised an opt-out following his 2022 campaign, and the Correa offseason saga officially began.

Correa has been reported to have deals with both the Giants and the Mets but bad medicals got in the way.

La saga de Carlos Correa finalmente puede estar llegando a su fin, pero no a favor de los Mets.

Las preocupaciones surgen de la cirugía a la que se sometió para reparar una fractura de peroné y un daño menor en los ligamentos en 2014. Los Mellizos conocen el cuerpo de Correa mejor que la mayoría, ya que lo autorizaron médicamente para finalizar un contrato de tres años en marzo pasado. Según ESPN, el campocorto tiene un contrato con los Mellizos de Minnesota por seis años y 200 millones de dólares pendiente de un examen físico.

The agreement for the All-Star shortstop could be worth $270 million over 10 seasons if Correa remains healthy.

The Giants? Almost. The Mets? Not quite. Here's how a month of drama led to an unexpected reunion in Minnesota.

The average annual value of Correa's guaranteed deal is $33.3 million, the second-highest figure for a shortstop behind only Francisco Lindor's 10-year, $341 million deal with the Mets, and while the total dollars pale to Correa's Giants deal, ending up at $200 million, following a pair of failed physicals, is far from worst-case. What if Correa or the Mets had caved? The Mets stuck to their six-year, $157.5 million offer, and last week, with the sides making little progress, Boras ramped up his engagement with the Twins. It also includes a full no-trade clause and annual salaries of $36 million for the first three years, followed by $31.5 million, $30.5 million and $30 million. [inished second](/mlb/insider/insider/story/_/id/35296965/giants-strike-aaron-judge-carlos-correa-next) in the [Aaron Judge](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33192/aaron-judge) sweepstakes, they pivoted to the 28-year-old Correa, the best player remaining on the free agent market, and overwhelmed him with the [fourth-largest deal in baseball history](/mlb/story/_/id/35249116/san-francisco-giants-carlos-correa-agree-13-year-350m-deal). Drew with the Red Sox, Magglio Ordonez and Pudge Rodriguez with the Tigers -- containing provisions for specific injuries. Correa would move to third base and slot in the middle of the lineup for a team with a payroll that would approach half a billion dollars. The results of the physical would then determine whether the next year of the contract was picked up. Like the Giants, the Mets saw issues with Correa's right leg, according to sources. At $350 million, Correa was set to earn more than [Trea Turner](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/33710/trea-turner), [Xander Bogaerts](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/31606/xander-bogaerts) and [Dansby Swanson](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/_/id/34895/dansby-swanson), the other three star shortstops available via free agency this winter, and become the face of the franchise in an ever-competitive NL West. Later, Giants president Farhan Zaidi admitted to a "difference of opinion" regarding the review of Correa's medicals. While the Giants hesitated, Boras called Mets owner Steve Cohen, who already had committed nearly $500 million to free agents this winter, and asked if he wanted back in on Correa.

When the Mets and Giants backed off, the Twins ramped up their efforts.

Correa needs 550 plate appearances in 2029 to earn a $20 million salary the following season, 525 plate appearances in 2030 to earn $15 million in 2031 and 502 trips to the plate in 2031 to lock in a $10 million salary in 2032, according to a source. While the deal comes with risks, it’s one the Twins are willing to take. “The vision he has, the awareness, the anticipation about what is going to come next,” Twins assistant pitching coach Luis Ramirez said. And while the Mets won 101 games last season, before they backed out, they wanted Correa badly enough for Cohen to go on record before the shortstop took his physical, identifying Correa as the last thing his star-laden club needed. Here’s why: Whereas the Giants and Mets were looking to complete deals lasting 13 and 12 seasons, respectively, the Twins are only on the hook for six. They’ve seen the daily preparation and how Correa takes care of himself. Though the back and forth won’t surface until after his six-year, $200 million guaranteed agreement with a mix of vesting and club options is finalized, the Twins have made no secret about their desire to retain Correa. From the end of October through the entire offseason, the Twins have made it crystal clear they’re better off with Correa at shortstop. Correa can earn $25 million in 2029 if he accrues 575 plate appearances in 2028. If there’s a way to find a match, that’s going to be something we’re going to try to explore. Even though the Giants are desperate for a superstar to build around, they pulled the plug at the last minute on a Correa introductory press conference after a difference of opinion of his medicals arose during their physical.

But now that Correa is back with the Twins, it makes you wonder. The Giants looked like fools when Correa sprinted to the Mets hours later, but their concerns around his physical were validated when New York stumbled upon the same issues. The Twins were in limbo, an underperforming team coming off back-to-back losing seasons in a terrible AL Central division. Boras can't be happy with the lack of cheddar he received on " The morning after Correa agreed to join New York, Cohen proclaimed he was the "missing piece" to a lineup that won 101 games last season. Fellow shortstop Dansby Swanson signed a deal with the Chicago Cubs for $177 million. He just won't need quite as many Brinks trucks to deliver the goods. The Twins now have a co-star with outfielder Byron Buxton tasked with snapping the franchise's historic 18-game playoff losing streak. Minnesota was outbid for Correa on its first offer -- a reported 10-year, $285 million contract that would have been the biggest in franchise history.

Carlos Correa cambió de destino por segunda vez, para volver al punto de origen.

El acuerdo con los Mellizos contempla una bonificación de 8 millones de dólares por la firma. Tras devengar 35,1 millones en 2022, el boricua buscó un contrato de mayor plazo en otro equipo. La firma depende de un examen médico exitoso, dijo la fuente, quien habló con The Associated Press a condición de permanecer anónima porque el convenio no se ha anunciado oficialmente.

In his introductory Zoom call, Michael Conforto explained how the failed Carlos Correa deal affected his decision to sign with the Giants.

About 15 hours later, Correa agreed to a [12-year, $315 million contract](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/giants/mlb-rumors-carlos-correa-mets-agree-315m-contract-giants-deal) with the New York Mets.

Correa quickly agreed to a "I think when things really started to heat up with me and the Giants, it was right around the time that things fell through," Conforto told reporters Tuesday in his introductory Zoom call.

Correa re-entered the free agent market after exercising an opt-out in his contract with Minnesota. A two-time All-Star, Correa hit .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs across 136 games in 2022 for the Twins. [Minnesota Twins](https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/teams/MIN/minnesota-twins/) and free-agent infielder [Carlos Correa](/mlb/players/2000028/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. Check his Baseball-Reference page now that the leaves are falling and you'll notice that his OPS+ was higher in 2022 than 2021, a season good enough to earn him the top spot in our free-agent rankings last winter. For his career, he's batted .279/.357/.479 while providing good defense at shortstop. He started slowly, homering just once in April and producing a depressed statline that lingered into the summertime, leading people to believe he was having a down year even as he picked up his play over the course of the summer. 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.

The 28-year-old appeared in 136 games for the Twins last season, slashing .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs, 64 RBI, and a .833 OPS.

After the Giants and Mets passed after issues cropped up on Correa's physical, his 2022 club stepped into the void.

It is said that the Twins are already signed off on the review of his leg and ankle, the issues that scuttled his two previous agreements. (Love him or hate him, Scott Boras is very good at this job.) The Giants have scrambled to add multiple lesser players in lieu of their projected investment in Correa, and the Mets still have a record payroll, though their talent doesn’t quite match up without their would-be third baseman. And even if all of the (very affordable from the team perspective) vesting options kick in, only Turner will exceed the $27M per year AAV what Correa will receive. And three, his present tools are the best, and project to age better. This was the Year of the Shortstop in free agency, with Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson also hitting the market. After exercising the opt-out clause in his contract after one season with the Minnesota Twins, he first signed with the San Francisco Giants for 13 years and $350M.

Correa passed a physical with the Twins on Tuesday, and the new deal became official Wednesday morning. He’s among the best defensive shortstops in the game, and a clubhouse leader. He said he was surprised when physicals with the Giants and Mets resulted in different medical opinions. Correa, 28, is set to make a little more than $33 million per season with the new contract and become the highest-paid player in Twins' history, passing Joe Mauer. Correa signed a three-year deal with the Twins before the 2022 season, worth $105 million but with opt-out clauses after the first two seasons. Correa had agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants and there was even a news conference scheduled before concerns arose about his right ankle following a physical.
