The Giants agreed to a contract with the Mets in December last year, but the contract was canceled due to an old injury to the right ankle.
Infielder Carlos Correa, who had been in trouble with the Mets, agreed to re-sign with the Twins for six years and $200 million (about 26.45 billion yen). Multiple US media reports, including ESPN reporter Jeff Passan.
Correa has exercised his right to opt-out from the Twins to free agency. He agreed with the Giants in December last year for $350 million in 2013, but the deal was called off after a physical examination revealed concerns over a fractured right ankle he broke in 2014. Immediately after, he agreed with the Mets for 315 million dollars (about 41.64 billion yen) in 2012, but he also failed to clear the physical examination. Negotiations continued to review the terms of the contract, but it seems that it was settled with the renewal of the contract with the Twins who belonged to last season.
In 2015, he made his major league debut with the Astros and was named Rookie of the Year. He helped win the World Series in 2017. 291 batting average, 22 home runs, and 64 RBIs in 136 games last season. He has been selected to the All-Star Game twice.
