Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa still hasn't committed to the team. Correa signed a three-year contract this past offseason with opt-outs following the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Correa's deal is valued at $105.3 for the three years.
With the season coming down to the wire, Correa's commitment to the Twins next year has been a big question. He fueled further speculation with his comments to the media, wherein he suggested that if the Twins wanted his services, they should "come get it."
"I go to the Dior store. When I want something, I get it... I'm the product here. If they want my product, they've got to come get it," Carlos Correa said.
Carlos Correa's comments to the media didn't please Minnesota fans and they questioned his attitude to the team.
"Really embracing the cringe-inducing villian role here eh?" one fan suggested.
Carlos Correa believes that he ranks among some of the best shortstops in the league. He believes that if a team wants him bad enough, they'll make him an offer he cannot refuse. The comments left a sour taste in most fans' mouths as they thought the shortstop's ego was too large.
Some Minnesota fans think that the statements Correa made confirm that he isn't returning to the team next year.
Minnesota Twins fans don't have much faith in the shortstop returning for the 2023 season. If Correa does become a free agent, he will be joining a list of premier shortstops.
