After a free agency period complicated by health concerns, Carlos Correa saw lucrative deals with both the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets fall through. Ultimately, he chose to return to the Minnesota Twins, where he's played 73 games this season, hitting .217 with 11 home runs and 37 RBIs prior to Sunday's game.
During the Twins' series against the Baltimore Orioles, Correa stated he has no regrets about how the offseason unfolded. "Honestly, I haven't even looked at their box scores once, neither the Mets nor the Giants," Correa shared with the New York Post. "I'm someone who moves on quickly. I don't dwell on things that didn't happen, so it's been easy to move forward."

The 13-year, $350 million agreement with the Giants and the subsequent 12-year, $315 million deal with the Mets both dissolved due to concerns surrounding Correa's surgically repaired right leg. The collapse of these agreements happened within days of each other.

Correa ultimately re-signed with the Twins on a six-year, $200 million contract. He expressed contentment with the outcome, emphasizing his family's happiness with the situation. "Some things are beyond your control, and they don't always pan out as planned. But you can't complain. You have to move forward and focus on what's ahead," he added.
