Nearly a month since Carlos Correa agreed to terms with the Giants and three weeks since Mets owner Steve Cohen jumped into the sweepstakes when the initial deal fell apart, Correa is heading back to the Minnesota Twins.
The Twins officially announced the signing on Wednesday. Multiple reports say the deal is worth $200 million over six years with four vesting options that could push the total value of the contract to $270 million.
The Giants’ agreement was for 13 years, $350 million. The Mets had him for 12 years, $315 million.
For a while, it seemed like the Mets were finally going to be the team to put an end to the mysterious saga.
