MLB fans react to Carlos Correa passing Twins' physical and ending his dramatic free agency: "Our long national nightmare is over"

After three contracts being agreed to, Carlos Correa is finally officially signed. The star shortstop, who opted out of his contract with the Minnesota Twins, passed a physical and has officially been re-signed by the Twins.It was not as simple as it sounds, though. Correa initially signed a blockbuster 12-year, $350 million deal with the San Francisco Giants. When they paused the deal due to medical concerns, the New York Mets swooped in.The Mets signed him to an 11-year, $325 million deal. That was put on hold for about three weeks as they found the same injury concerns.That eventually opened the door for the Twins, who swooped in to sign him to a six-year, $200 million contract that protects him and the team. As always, that deal was pending a physical which has now been passed.Mark Feinsand@FeinsandCarlos Correa has passed his physical with the Twins, per source.

The deal Correa signed has vesting options for years beyond the agreed-upon contract, so the Twins could have Correa for a long time.The money was also a little better coming from the Twins, which is why they were able to steal Correa back from New York.It has truly been a memorable offseason for the Giants, Twins, Mets and Carlos Correa, but it finally seems to be over.Why did the Twins sign Carlos Correa?Clearly, the Minnesota Twins like Carlos Correa a lot. They pursued and signed him last offseason and wanted to do the same again after he opted out.They likely saw what the Giants and Mets saw last year but signed him to a shorter contract anyway. That is probably why they signed him again after the controversy and why he passed the physical so quickly.Carlos Correa is headed back to the Twin CityThe Twins are familiar with him and comfortable with his health, apparently much more so than the Giants or Mets.They also needed a superstar since Correa left and couldn't secure any of the biggest names on the market. Now, they don't have to worry about that.
