All is well: Correa passes Twins' physical, signs

Carlos Correa's deal with the Minnesota Twins is complete, the team announced Wednesday, meaning that he has passed his physical to finally bring his wild offseason saga to a close.

"He's home," the Twins posted to Twitter on Wednesday.

The All-Star shortstop had reached a six-year, $200 million contract to return to Minnesota on Tuesday, sources told ESPN, but it was contingent on Correa passing his physical.

Correa had deals fall through with the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets after those teams raised concerns about his surgically repaired right leg.

San Francisco had agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract on Dec. 13 before that deal fell apart. A 12-year, $315 million agreement with the Mets on Dec. 21 also eventually was scuttled because of a flagged physical.

"We were unable to reach an agreement," the Mets said in a statement Wednesday. "We wish Carlos all the best."

The agreement with the Twins includes a vesting option for four years and $70 million.

The concern over the physical focused on a bone near his right ankle that he broke in 2014 during a minor league game. He had a metal plate surgically inserted at the time to provide extra support.

He has not spent time on the injured list for a right leg ailment in his eight-year major league career, but Giants and Mets medical personnel were concerned about how the leg would age.

Correa, 28, is among the game's best shortstops and entered the winter in hopes of securing the mega-contract that eluded him last offseason, when he settled for a three-year, $105.3 million deal with the Twins that included an opt-out after the first season.

Correa hit .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs and 64 RBIs while playing high-level defense last season, leaving the Twins hopeful he would consider returning after he filed for free agency. He played in 136 games, missing time only due to an injured finger and a bout with COVID-19.
