At long last, the saga of Carlos Correa’s free agency has finally, officially come to an end.
Correa was formally re-introduced as a Twin in a press conference on Wednesday, finalizing a six-year, $200 million deal that returns the star shortstop to Minnesota. The media address concludes a bizarre offseason journey in which Correa reached agreements with two other clubs—the Giants and the Mets—that eventually fell through after he underwent physical exams that gave teams pause about the health of his ankle.
On Wednesday, Correa addressed those concerns, saying that he too was caught off-guard by the deals falling apart.
