Correa recently opened up about potential deals with two prestigious MLB teams that didn’t materialize, stirring interest among Twins fans.

Correa candidly addressed the failed deals with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants, which totaled $665 million. Despite the allure of long-term contracts, he expressed no ill will toward the teams and acknowledged that such deals may not align with his current plans.
The Giants reportedly passed on Correa due to concerns about his physical condition. While there were rumors of him joining the Mets, he ultimately chose to return to the Twins for a less lucrative deal.
In spring training action, the Twins defeated the Yankees 10-7, with Byron Buxton and Christian Vazquez each contributing three hits. Matt Bowman’s impressive performance included three strikeouts in one inning, allowing just one run and sealing the victory for the Twins, who now stand at 6-7 in spring training.
As opening day approaches, Correa’s return and the Twins’ strong spring training performances have fans eagerly anticipating the start of the season.
