New twist: Correa back with Twins

Carlos Correa has reversed course again, bringing him back to where he started in the most convoluted free agent negotiation in baseball history. Correa agreed Tuesday to a six-year, $200 million contract that keeps him with the Twins after failing to complete deals with the Mets and Giants, according to reports. The agreement for the All-Star shortstop could be worth $270 million over 10 seasons if Correa remains healthy. The contract is subject to a successful physical. Correa twice reached agreements that collapsed. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star agreed Dec. 13 to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the Giants, who scheduled a news conference a week later to announce the deal, then called off the announcement hours before it was set to begin over concerns with an ankle injury Correa sustained in 2014. Correa agreed that night to a 12-year, $315 million deal with the Mets. But the Mets also had concerns about the ankle after a physical and held off finalizing the agreement. Correa left the Astros and joined the Twins last year but opted out of his contract at the end of the season.
