The Twins and shortstop Carlos Correa are finalizing a six-year, $200 million deal, according to a Tuesday afternoon report from ESPN's Jeff Passan. The deal is pending a physical.
Correa, 28, is a two-time All-Star who finished fifth in the American League MVP voting with the Astros in 2021.
The contract appears to signal a tentative end to one of the most bizarre free agency sagas in baseball history. The Giants initially inked Correa to a 13-year, $350 million contract before medical concerns torpedoed the deal. The Mets swooped in and agreed to a deal of similar length with Correa in the early hours of Dec.
