Twins VideoBoth the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants backed out on pacts that would have paid Carlos Correa more than $300 million. The New York Mets were going to move Correa to third base, with Francisco Lindor present at shortstop. He posted a 122 OPS+ last season, but is just slightly above-average this year with a 108 OPS+. Brandon Crawford is no longer there to play shortstop, and they, too, are below .500. It’s great that Carlos Correa likes Minnesota, but for the organization, it’s even better that the Twins liked him enough to say yes.
