Twins general manager Levine didn't waste time

It didn’t take long for Levine, the Twins’ general manager, to recognize this was a conversation the team wanted. Baseball’s top agent doesn’t call about just anybody. He had only three prominent clients unsigned: Carlos Correa, Nick Castellanos, and Michael Conforto. All were very appealing to the Twins.

 

Twins Vice President of Communications and Content Dustin Morse said

"I saw an unusual amount of text messages when I woke up," 

Dustin Morse added

"My mind starts racing. I was pretty sure what I thought it was going to lead to, but nobody really said what it was. I quickly went to MLB Trade Rumors and I see 'Twins agree to a three-year deal with Carlos Correa.' It hit me and it was literally a 15-second moment of 'Holy s**t.'" 

What Carlos Correa brings to the Minnesota Twins

Carlos Correa is among the game's top players. Many did not see him going to the Minnesota Twins. The signing makes the Twins a dark-horse candidate to win the American League Central. While the Chicago White Sox are the heavy favorites in the division, don't be surprised if the Twins finish second. They may even compete for the top spot.
