CARLOS Correa’s free agency saga appeared to be coming to a close on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) after ESPN reported that the shortstop was finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins.
The deal is “pending a physical”, however, which is where Correa’s previous deals with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets ran into last-minute snags over an old leg injury.
The Giants had scheduled a press conference last month to introduce the dynamic Puerto Rican two-time All-Star, who won a championship with Houston in 2017.
But the club backed away from a 13-year, $350 million deal and abruptly canceled the press conference after a physical raised concerns about a right leg injury the 28-year-old suffered when he was in the minors, according to media reports. — Reuters
