Third time's the charm.

BREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, sources tell ESPN. The deal has a vesting option that can max out at $270 million. It is pending physical.

best white elephant game ever.

oldgoldy97 · 01-10-2023, 12:26 PM

Pending a physical.....ha!

Chris Lyle · 01-10-2023, 12:27 PM

A physical at the signing has never gotten so much attention as this one. See if a deal can finally be done. I mean I would think this one would be ok since the Twins already asked their questions and did their exam.

Eckstein197 · 01-10-2023, 12:28 PM

I am utterly shocked

discostu · 01-10-2023, 12:29 PM

That's a crazy AAV, well played Correa.

Jaypers · 01-10-2023, 12:33 PM

I wonder if any player has ever agreed to terms with three different teams in the offseason before.

maybe he's trying to sign a deal with all 30 teams

jubei777 · 01-10-2023, 12:34 PM

Lol this is getting crazy. It’s the ol “hot potato” game.

Jaypers · 01-10-2023, 12:37 PM

Jon Heyman @JonHeyman
Sources: The major part of Correa’s physical is complete — including the ankle at issue — so there’s nothing foreseen to stop Correa’s return to the Twins

SethMurphy · 01-10-2023, 12:38 PM

Honestly this has been an amazing saga to watch this offseason. Great entertainment as someone who isn't a fan of any of the three teams to have signed him.

NCWolf · 01-10-2023, 12:47 PM

Cohen tears... I'm all for it.

BdotHobbs · 01-10-2023, 12:50 PM

If it's possible to be embarrassed about earning 270 million bucks, Correa has to be a little embarrassed about how this played out

There most certainly are not tears from Cohen here.

Seems to be reasonable.

Sources tell The Post: Mets were willing to fully guarantee 6 years (at $157.5M) but the final 6 would have been only conditionally guaranteed. So Correa will make $42.5M more in first 6 with Twins. Mets and Correa couldn’t get past the language issue. Story to come at @nypost

He will be 34 when the contract is up I’m sure he’s figuring to make the 45 mil he missed then

SupermanBrandon · 01-10-2023, 01:05 PM

The Twins have to look past the physical. Its the only way they're going to get top level talent. They can't attract the Judges, Sotos, Ohtanis, etc.

Badgers0821 · 01-10-2023, 01:07 PM

That would be a hard pass for me.

I'm not talking about the length of the contract, I'm talking about how the entire process played out

My hope is that he can finish his career as an Astro now

TooManyCards76 · 01-10-2023, 01:14 PM

If Correa is truly healthy and everyone was worried about nothing, Correa will have his age 34-35-36 age seasons to cash in on down the road, and if he ages like Ripken, Jeter, ARod, possibly longer. And with MLB’s ever increasing salaries he’d easily net $15-$20M/year as a 2-3 WAR player on a 1 or 2 year deal as a minimum.

Medicine is more subjective than people realize.

One doctor can believe the sky is blue. The other can believe it is red.

Interested to see how this plays out.

Very very true.....stuff like Correa's ankle is never cut and dried.....

I don't understand how not 1, but 2 teams can back out due to a physical, then team 3 comes in and says, "come on down" for a guaranteed $200M.
