When the free agency started in MLB, no one would have imagined that someone like Carlos Correa would end up at the Minnesota Twins. But, that’s what happened the last night. Minnesota Twins signed free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa on a three-year deal.

With this Correa’s deal with the Twins, probably every single prediction regarding Correa’s next contract has been proved wrong. Because at the start of the free agency, the Chicago Cubs and New yok Yankees were the frontrunners. However, Correa has stunned everyone with his decision to choose the Twins as his next home for a possible few years.

Though Correa has signed a three-year contract with the Twins, he has an advantage to opt-out after the first two years of his contract. And with this, Carlos Correa to the Yankees or Cubs still cannot be ruled out. In the coming two years, he might sign for one of the top MLB sides.
