Carlos Correa agrees with the Twins (but he has to pass his physical tests)

Oh come on.

Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins, who were negotiating seriously recently, have agreed to the terms of a six-year contract that will guarantee the shortstop player at least $200 million. He has yet to pass his physical tests.

The basic contract does not contain an exit option and is for a period of six years and $200 million. That’s guaranteed.

Subsequently, there are options that could bring the contract to $270 million over 10 years. It will therefore depend on his state of health.

We are far from $350 million over 13 years at the start, but if he earns “only” $200 million over six years, he will make more money ($33.33 million) per season. And even over 10 years, we are talking about $27 million per year.

Remember that the problem in his case was the long term. There, over six or ten years, the risks are really reduced.

I wonder how he will be received at the Twins, an organization he left twice after choosing to sign in San Francisco and New York earlier in the offseason. I feel that some will resent him, but that he will be well received, in the end.

Details to come…
