[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3139665, member: 74137"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2022/03/20/carlos-correa-twins-kris-bryant-rockies-free-agent/7103427001/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://apple.news/ACK0oRY16Rpa8-A6rnjJ6Bw[/URL] "The Twins, in a slick covert operation, landed the biggest free agent in franchise history, managing to keep their interest in Correa eerily quiet. There wasn’t a single peep they were negotiating or had remotely any interest in the top free agent on the market. Sure, everyone knew that the market was drying up for Correa, and he wasn’t going to get his $350 million contract to top Francisco Lindor’s deal with the New York Mets, but it was assumed he’d simply get a lucrative short-term contract with opt-outs to hit the market again. But come on, not the Twins. The deal could be perfect for Correa. He will earn the largest yearly salary by an infielder in baseball history at $35.1 million a year, with opt-out clauses after the first two seasons. It was important to Correa to be the highest-paid infielder, so the contract pays him $100,000 more a year than Anthony Rendon of the Los Angeles Angels. Correa will be playing in a bigger ballpark in Minneapolis, but the Twins were high on his list of free-agent options, thanks to his love affair at Target Field. He has a 1.205 OPS at Target Field, hitting .413 with a .762 slugging percentage, and five homers with 20 RBI in 15 regular season games – plus another homer in the playoffs.” Also some interesting notes on agent Scott Boras’ day; it seems Correa and Daniela could have been courteous enough to feed him, rather than him having to grab a late night piece of cake at the Cheesecake Factory.
