Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six year, $200 million contract with four vesting options that can get the deal to 11 years, $270 million, according to multiple sources. The deal is pending a physical.
That last sentence is usually an obligatory statement at the end of a free-agent announcement, but in Correa’s case, it is a substantial piece of information. In case you’ve been in a medically induced coma for the past month or so, Correa had a 13 year, $350 million deal with the Giants that fell through at the last minute due to some concerns over Correa’s physical, specifically an ankle injury sustained before his Major League call up that has never placed him on the Injured List during his big league career.
