MINNEAPOLIS — In the end, Carlos Correa opted into a Twins contract.
Correa, whose free-agency odyssey began nine weeks ago when he opted out of the final two seasons of his agreement with the Twins, on Tuesday agreed to return to Minnesota for the next six seasons, according to two sources with knowledge of the negotiations.
The Platinum Glove shortstop is guaranteed $200 million, the sources said, far below the $350 million the Giants agreed to pay him in early December and the $315 million the Mets were ready to pony up three weeks ago.
