Carlos Correa to the Twins Creates Seismic Shift in the AL Hierarchy
How about the Minnesota Twins jumping from the top rope to win the Carlos Correa free-agency sweepstakes?
Not the New York Yankees, normally big spenders who had a need at shortstop. Not the Houston Astros, who drafted Correa No. 1 overall 10 years ago before eventually winning one of three World Series appearances.
The Twins!
Suddenly, the AL Central isn't simply a breeze for the Chicago White Sox. The Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers and Twins are all making moves. The Cleveland Guardians haven't done much, but Minnesota signing Correa is significant enough to shift the AL hierarchy, if only for one season.
