1 overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft, and he played a key role in the Astros' rise from the bottom of the AL West to the franchise's first World Series title in 2017. 291 with 22 home runs and 64 RBIs in his one season with Minnesota. He was hurt in the game on May 29 in a third-inning collision with the wall while making a tough catch in his first, and perhaps only, appearance in center fieldĬorrea hit.
Mike Trout got a $426.5 million, 12-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, Mookie Betts has a $365 million, 12-year agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Aaron Judge is getting $360 million for nine years to remain with the New York Yankees in an agreement announced Tuesday.Ĭorrea's spot in Minnesota's infield may ultimately be filled by prospect Royce Lewis (pictured), who is coming off surgery on a torn ACL.

The 13-year, $350 million contract that apparently won't be completed would have been the fourth-highest financial commitment to an MLB player.Ĭorrea was a free agent one year ago after leaving the Houston Astros, and he reached a $105.3 million deal with the Minnesota Twins. 'We need one more thing, and this is it,' Cohen told the newspaper. Mets owner Steve Cohen confirmed the Correa deal to the Post in an interview from Hawaii. The Mets plan to play Correa at third base, the Post reported, with All-Star Francisco Lindor in place at shortstop. The San Francisco Chronicle first pinpointed the cause of the cancellation as a medical issue but said national media reports of a back issue were erroneous, citing sources close to the team and Correa.Ĭorrea experienced discomfort in his back while playing for the Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins. 'If it means I have to spend money to fulfill that commitment, so be it.'
'I made a commitment to the fans,' he said. Cohen went on to remind Heyman that he's keeping a promise to the Mets faithful, who expected him to be a big spender after buying the club from the Wilpon family in 2020 for $2.4 billion.
