Crazy off-season:
From Twins to Giants to Mets
Then back to the Twins

| 2022 Topps Opening Day #37 Carlos Correa |
Has anyone had a crazier free agent experience than Correa? After opting out after one year into his original 3-year $105 million contract with Minnesota, Correa initially agreed to sign with San Francisco for 13-years and $350 million. Hours before the press conference was scheduled, it was cancelled because of concerns over a previous leg injury. Before any of the dust had settled, his agent Scott Boras pivoted and hammered out a 12-year $315 deal with the Mets! That would have been enough to earn the "Craziest Off-Season" title, but nope, the Mets also had concerns about Correa's long-term health! In the end, Correa returned to Minnesota on a 6-year deal that could top out at $270 million.
$45 million per season is insane.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen anything like Correa's offseason - I'm interested to see how his Twins career plays out.
ReplyDeleteIt seems Correa saved his best for the playoffs, too bad the rest of the team couldn't have played that well.
