The Minnesota Twins hit the table in MLB with the signing of Carlos Correa, with a three-year, $105.3 million contract, according to Fox journalist Mark Berman.
The 27-year-old star shortstop will have the option to exit the deal after his second season, and he becomes the highest-paid infielder in major league baseball with an annual salary of $35.1 million.
In this way, the uncertainty about the future of the Puerto Rican ends. During the offseason, he was linked with the New York Yankees on several occasions, and the opportunity to keep playing with the Houston Astros has gained strength recently.
With this move, Correa joins Gio Urshela and Gary Sánchez as the new figures in the lineup of a Minnesota team that should fight hard to win the pennant of the Central Division of the American League, after finishing the regular round of 2021 in the last position with a record of 73 wins and 89 losses.
Carlos Correa MLB Numbers
Correa shone during his first seven years in MLB, always wearing the uniform of the Houston Astros, and he managed to record numbers good enough to be considered one of the best shortstops in the world of baseball.
Although he has never been close to winning the American League MVP, this is a player who always performed in postseason games and is still remembered for his huge performance for the Houston Astros with winning the 2017 World Series in mind.
The stellar Puerto Rican baseball player says goodbye to the Astros, after leaving average of .277 and OBP of .356, with 133 home runs and 489 RBI. In addition, he added 781 unstoppable in 2,824 at-bats.
