Correa, 29, returned to San Francisco for the first time since his would-be $350 million free-agent deal was scuttled two winters ago.
Minnesota Twins’ Carlos Correa warms up before a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Friday, July 12, 2024, in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO — Standing at his locker in the visitor’s clubhouse at Oracle Park, Carlos Correa was asked if he had contemplated what it might have looked like had his megadeal two winters ago come to fruition and this had become his home ballpark for the next 13 years.
Now in the second season of his new deal with the Twins, his third overall in Minnesota, Correa has returned to the form that made him one of the most sought-after players available two offseasons ago and, the Giants believed, a viable backup plan to acquire a superstar when their pursuit of Aaron Judge went awry.
The parallel universe where none of that takes place and Correa becomes the successor to Brandon Crawford isn’t so far away. Just how close was that alternate reality?Minnesota Twins’ Carlos Correa, left, warms up before a baseball game against the San Francisco Giants, Friday, July 12, 2024, in San Francisco.
Correa ended up signing a six-year, $200 million agreement with Minnesota, which also gives him the ability to opt out and become a free agent again this winter.
