The Twins became the third team to agree to a contract with Carlos Correa and MLB fans had jokes

Carlos Correa certainly had a free-agency experience to remember this offseason, but the saga *finally* appears to be reaching its end.

After seeing massive deals with the Giants and Mets fall through due to his physical, Correa agreed to terms on a six-year, $200-million deal with the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Correa played this past season in Minnesota before opting out of his contract to test the open market. That was when concerns about his ankle stalled separate 13-year and 12-year agreements.

The six-year contract with the Twins seemingly gave the club protection should Correa’s ankle issues worsen while also giving Correa a lucrative deal ($33.3 million per year on average).

Of course, the “pending physical” part of the agreement has proven to be a huge hurdle for Correa, but this time, the expectation is for Correa to finalize the deal with the Twins.

Sources: The major part of Correa’s physical is complete — including the ankle at issue — so there’s nothing foreseen to stop Correa’s return to the Twins

That didn’t stop MLB fans from making jokes about Correa’s wild three-team free agency.
