(Montreal) Following a successful medical, the deal between star shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins was finalized on Wednesday.
The pact is worth US$ 200 million for six years.
Correa was unable to find common ground with either the New York Mets or the San Francisco Giants.
He signed a 13-year, $350 million contract with the Giants on Dec. They even called members of the media to a press conference a week later to discuss the deal, but it was canceled hours before the event due to concerns over a right ankle injury suffered by Correa in 2014.

Correa then agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract with the Mets, who also expressed concerns about the condition of his ankle following a December 22 medical.
The New York formation had also suspended the agreement, time to negotiate protection clauses.
“The twins have always been in the small group of clubs I mentioned to [son agent Scott Boras] initially,” Correa told a news conference at the Target Center on Wednesday.
“What matters to me is that I’m here. I will do things the right way. »
Correa has hit . 291 in 136 games for the Twins in 2022 with 22 home runs and 64 RBIs.
The 28-year-old Puerto Rican was the 2015 American League Rookie of the Year with Houston.
He was on two all-star teams with the Astros, who selected him first overall in 2012.
