Carlos Correa has agreed to a contract with the Minnesota Twins after negotiations with the New York Mets fell aside, and it sounds just like the star shortstop has secured extra assured cash together with his new deal.
Correa and the Mets initially agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract after the San Francisco Giants backed out of a 13-year, $350 million pact with him due to an damage concern. The Mets then flagged the identical concern, which stemmed from a decrease leg damage Correa suffered whereas he was within the minors.
The Twins have assured Correa $200 million over six years. After that, he has conditional salaries of $25 million, $20 million, $15 million, and $10 million from Yr 7 by Yr 10. The seventh yr of the deal would grow to be assured if Correa has a minimum of 502 plate appearances in Yr 6, in line with Jon Heyman of the New York Publish.
