Avast ye maties! Carlos Correa, the scallywag shortstop for the Minnesota Twins, did spill his guts 'bout them fruitless contract parleys with them San Francisco Giants and New York Mets. Shiver me timbers!
Carlos Correa's free agency was complicated by health concerns, leading potential deals with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets to be scrapped. However, he ultimately re-signed with the Minnesota Twins and has played in 73 games this season, batting .217 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs.During a series against the Baltimore Orioles, Correa expressed no regrets about how things unfolded, stating that he doesn't hold grudges and quickly moves on. He admitted to not even checking the box scores of the Giants or the Mets, emphasizing his ability to let go of things that don't happen.
The Giants had offered Correa a 13-year, $350 million deal, while the Mets had a proposed contract of $315 million over 12 years. However, concerns over his surgically repaired right leg caused both deals to fall through within days.
Ultimately, Correa chose to re-sign with the Twins for $200 million over six years, and he expressed satisfaction with this decision. He acknowledged that certain things are beyond one's control and that it's important to move forward and focus on the future.
In his most recent game, Correa went 1-for-4 as the Twins lost 2-1 to the Orioles, bringing their record to 42-43.
