Carlos Correa to the Twins?! Grading latest free agency twist

Carlos Correa's wild offseason adventure has taken another surprising twist: He's going back to the Minnesota Twins, pending physical, of course.

After initially agreeing to terms with the San Francisco Giants, the Giants backed out over concerns about Correa's long-term health, reportedly related to a leg injury Correa suffered in the minor leagues in 2014. Correa had confirmed in September that he has a metal plate in his leg, a result of that surgery for a fractured fibula. Correa and agent Scott Boras then quickly turned to the New York Mets as owner Steve Cohen enthusiastically agreed to a deal while on vacation in Hawaii just after Christmas.
