The third time looks to be the charm for Carlos Correa — pending a physical.
The saga, which has featured more twists than a Benoit Blanc mystery, took one more stunning turn on Tuesday, when the superstar free-agent shortstop and #ForeverGiant reportedly agreed to terms on a new blockbuster deal to return to the Minnesota Twins, after his contract with the Mets collapsed because of medical concerns.
Correa originally agreed to sign with the orange and black on a 13-year, $340 million deal on Dec. 13, but the Giants backed out of the agreement a week later over a disagreement about his medical exam, specifically because of a right ankle injury he needed surgically repaired while playing in the minor leagues with the Houston Astros in 2014.
That hope seems to have evaporated now that Correa appears headed back to Minneapolis, where he played in 2022 after spending the bulk of his career with the Astros. According to ESPN, the Twins never planned to enter the sweepstakes once he received offers north of $300 million. However, once the market saturated, the Twins reengaged with the 28-year-old, and agreed to terms on the largest contract in their franchise history.
The signing of Correa was supposed to be a crowning jewel for the Giants this offseason amid cries from the fanbase for a superstar addition and in the wake of the team’s least attended season in Oracle Park history.
