MLB Twitter reacts to Carlos Correa re-signing with the Minnesota Twins on a 6-year, $200 million contract: "What the f*** is going on"

Carlos Correa's flabbergasting offseason has added its newest chapter via his re-signing with the Minnesota Twins. It has never been more important to note that the deal is pending a physical, much like his contracts with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets were. Given the public's general knowledge of the results of those physicals, the Twins should be comfortable with what they know.Correa is one of the best players in the MLB. Fears about his health and how it might affect his game in the future are what halted the two previous deals. He is now set to re-sign with the team he played for in 2022, for less money and years than was offered by other teams.Jeff Passan broke the news of Carlos Correa's latest agreement:Jeff Passan@JeffPassanBREAKING: Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Minnesota Twins are finalizing a six-year, $200 million contract, sources tell ESPN.
