Carlos Correa rumors: Twins talks ramp up as Mets deal remains in limbo, per report

Concern over an old ankle injury has hung up Correa's deal with the Mets

The Minnesota Twins remain in the mix for Carlos Correa and talks between the two sides have begun to accelerate, reports The Athletic. Correa agreed to a 12-year, $315 million contract with the New York Mets on Dec. 21, though the deal has been limbo as the two sides work through contract language related to an ankle injury Correa suffered earlier in his career.

The Mets are not out on Correa, though last week it was reported the team is "growing frustrated" with negotiations. Scott Boras, Correa's agent, then started to engage other teams, including the Twins. Correa had previously agreed to a 13-year, $350 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. That deal fell apart over the team's long-term concerns about Correa's ankle.

Correa spent 2022 with the Twins. He signed a three-year, $105.3 million contract with two opt outs with Minnesota last offseason, and after a strong 2022, he exercised the first opt out to test free agency. The Twins reportedly offered Correa a 10-year contract worth $285 million earlier this winter, though that was before these medical concerns arose.

It stands to reason Minnesota knows Correa's medicals better than anyone, and if they offered a 10-year deal, they must feel comfortable with his ankle. That said, after the Giants and Mets had reservations, the Twins may want to review his medicals more closely. It must be noted Boras and Correa may be using the Twins as leverage in an effort to wrap things up with the Mets.

Marlins' Johnny Cueto: Agrees to deal with Marlins
By RotoWire Staff

1 hr ago•1 min read

Cueto signed a one-year, $6 million contract with a $10.5 million club option for 2024 with the Marlins on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

The buyout on the option is $2.5 million, so Cueto is guaranteed at least $8.5 million in the deal. It's a move that adds depth to a Marlins rotation which already had lots of it, so it would make sense if the team flipped at least one starter for lineup help. Cueto is coming off a nice 2022 campaign with the White Sox which saw him post a 3.35 ERA with 102 strikeouts across 158.1 innings.
