Overnight we had some incredible breaking news! Yesterday afternoon the San Fransisco Giants postponed the signing of former Minnesota Twin shortstop Carlos Correa due to an issue that came up in his physical. The 13-year $350 Million deal was on pause, but no one thought something would change, it just felt like a technicality that needed to be worked out. I mean how could this happen!? Well, it did, and before everyone woke up on Wednesday morning, the Mets had come to a new agreement with Carlos Correa for 12 years $315 Million. Still a massive deal, maybe not as big as the original yes, but still a ton of money.
The question is, was the Twins front office and ownership even awake when the deal happened?
The deal with the Mets was only 2 years and $30 million more than the Twins 10 year original offer. So the Twins have now missed out on Correa 2 times in 2 weeks. We dive into everything Correa, Joey Gallo, and the rest of the chaos that is the Twins Offseason so far!
