The San Francisco Giants reportedly agreed to a 13-year, $350 million deal with free agent shortstop Carlos Correa Tuesday, per Jeff Passan. The deal would be the biggest deal ever for a shortstop and would give the 28-year-old the most lucrative deal out of the other two big free-agent shortstop signings this offseason. Correa had a solid 2022 season with the Minnesota Twins, slashing .291/.366/.467 with 22 home runs and 64 RBI. While he will be moving to one of baseball's most pitcher-friendly parks, he will also be joining a lineup that will have some additions from last season while still maintaining some core pieces. The Giants have made a number of moves this offseason, so it is possible that there could be even more support joining Correa in the lineup, which would further bolster his fantasy value.

The San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs are among the teams in on free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa, who has the advantages of being a little younger than Xander Bogaerts and Trea Turner while also having no qualifying offer attached to him. Turner received an 11-year, $300 million deal from the Philadelphia Phillies and Bogaerts got an 11-year, $280 million deal from the San Diego Padres this week, so Correa is going to cash in. The 28-year-old Correa is one of the best defensive shortstops in the game but can also swing it, slashing .279/.357/.479 with an .836 OPS in eight big-league seasons. Last year in Minnesota, he hit .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 136 at-bats.

The San Francisco Giants have spoken with free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa's representatives at the Winter Meetings in San Diego this week, according to a source. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Minnesota Twins have also been linked to Correa this offseason. The 28-year-old declined his $35.1 million option for the 2023 season, but the Twins are all in on trying to bring him back on a multi-year deal. The shortstop market has skyrocketed after Trea Turner landed an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. Correa, along with Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson, is one of the top shortstops available after hitting .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 522 at-bats for the Twins last year.

The Minnesota Twins are all in on trying to re-sign shortstop Carlos Correa and have already made multiple contract offers to him. Correa opted out of his $35.1 million option for the 2023 season, but they're trying to bring him back on varying contract offers that have ranged from six to 10 years in length. It would probably be a surprise if he returned, with the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and others interested in his services. The New York Post's Jon Heyman also notes that the Twins' involvement with free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon likely will only become a reality if Correa doesn't re-sign in Minnesota. The 28-year-old slashed a strong .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 522 at-bats in what could be his only season with the Twins.

The Chicago Cubs met with free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa on Monday, according to a source. The shortstop market got a big boost when the Philadelphia Phillies signed Trea Turner to an 11-year, $300 million deal on Monday. The Cubs seem unlikely to spend big bucks on the free-agent market as they rebuild, so it remains to be seen if a player like Correa will be in their wheelhouse. The 28-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Twins for the 2022 season and slashed .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 522 at-bats over 136 games played. He declined his $35.1 million option for the 2023 season to re-enter the free-agent market for the second straight offseason.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa officially opted out of his $35.1 million player option for the 2023 season on Monday, according to the MLB Players Association. This was the expected move after the 28-year-old signed his one-year deal with the Twins in March. Correa played in 136 games in his lone season in Minnesota, slashing a strong .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 home runs, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 590 plate appearances. The 28-year-old two-time All-Star will have plenty of suitors on the open market as one of the best available shortstops in a loaded free-agent crop this offseason. If the Los Angeles Dodgers aren't able to re-sign Trea Turner at the 6, Correa could become an option for the Dodgers.

If Los Angeles Dodgers impending free-agent shortstop Trea Turner decides to go elsewhere on the open market this winter, the Dodgers will be looking at Minnesota Twins impending free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa. The Dodgers are reportedly intrigued by replacing Turner with Correa. The Dodgers "love everything" about Correa and "don't seem to have 2017 reservations" so far. Correa was on the 2017 Houston Astros team that was caught cheating after they beat the Dodgers. Along with Correa, Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson will be on the shortstop market this year in free agency, so LA will have plenty of options to replace Turner if he departs. In his lone season with the Twins, Correa hit .291/.366/.467 with an .834 OPS, 22 homers, 64 RBI and 70 runs scored in 522 at-bats.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa isn't in the lineup for the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is hitting .291 this season with a .366 on-base percentage and 22 home runs in 590 plate appearances. Instead, it'll be Jermaine Palacios hitting eighth and getting the start at shortstop. Palacios has logged 73 plate appearances in the Majors for the Twins this season, batting .136 with a .181 on-base percentage and a home run in 73 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in search of streaming help at the position are probably better off looking elsewhere.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa went deep Tuesday night, hitting his 20th home run of the season off Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Kris Bubic in the fifth inning of a 6-3 win. Correa also doubled and drove in three total runs in four at-bats. This is the sixth time in seven full seasons (excluding 2020) that Correa has reached the 20-homer plateau. He has an .820 OPS for the season with 62 runs scored and 57 RBI, and he's slashing a dominant .327/.405/.566 with seven home runs over his last 113 at-bats and 30 games for fantasy managers.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is working out at shortstop on Tuesday and is likely to return from the COVID-19 injured list and play on Wednesday. The fact that he's working out with the team suggests that he's cleared the league's COVID protocols after testing positive for the virus on May 31. If the 27-year-old gets through his workout fine on Tuesday, we should expect him to be activated on Wednesday and return to the Twins starting lineup. Before landing on the injured list, he was hitting a strong .279/.344/.407 with three home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored in 154 plate appearances covering 35 games. Jermaine Palacios has been filling in at shortstop of late with Correa sidelined.

The Twins found out on Monday that Correa tested positive for the virus. The 27-year-old is vaccinated but isn't feeling well and will need to clear the league's protocols before he's able to return. With prospect Royce Lewis (knee) also on the injured list, Palacios made his major league debut on Tuesday at shortstop and in the nine-hole against the Detroit Tigers. Jorge Polanco can also help fill in at shortstop while Correa recovers. Correa needs to be held in all fantasy formats. He's hitting .279/.344/.407 with three home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored this season.

The Minnesota Twins found out in the middle of their game on Monday against the Detroit Tigers that shortstop Carlos Correa tested positive for COVID-19. Correa wasn't in the starting lineup for the game. The 27-year-old will now be out for an unknown amount of time, and the Twins will be short-handed at the position with shortstop prospect Royce Lewis (knee) going on the injured list earlier in the day. Jorge Polanco started at shortstop on Monday, with Luis Arraez playing the keystone. Nick Gordon and Jose Miranda could also help fill in in the middle infield while Correa is away from the team. Correa is hitting .279/.344/.407 with three home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored in his first 35 games for the Twins.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa continued his hot streak in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers, going 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Correa has hit .333 with four RBI in his last six games since returning from the injured list with a right middle finger contusion. It would take a lot for fantasy managers to become worried about Correa, but it is encouraging to see him performing well since returning from his injury. Hopefully, this streak will translate into more power production, as Correa has slugged just .391 on the season.

The Minnesota Twins will be activate shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Wednesday's series finale against the Oakland Athletics. He will be taking the roster spot of fellow shortstop Royce Lewis, who is headed to Triple-A. Correa has been on the shelf for nearly two weeks due to a right middle finger contusion. Over 24 games this season, he's slashed .255/.320/.372 with two home runs, 11 RBI and 12 runs. Keep an eye out for the official announcement of his activation before you take him out of your IL spot.

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Oakland Athletics. Correa landed on the injured list on May 10 with a right middle finger contusion. To make room on the active roster, right-hander Jharel Cotton will be designated for assignment. Correa is hitting .255/.320/.372 with two home runs and 11 RBI in his first 24 games with the Twins. With Correa returning, top prospect Royce Lewis, who has been filling in at shortstop, could be sent back to Triple-A St. Paul. Correa will return to the everyday shortstop duties, and fantasy managers should be looking to get him back into their starting lineups for Tuesday's action.

Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa (finger) did some swinging and throwing and took some light ground-ball drills before the team's game on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians, and manager Rocco Baldelli said they are hoping that he returns from the injured list this week. "He's going to get a lot of swings in the cage, and getting more and more reps as opposed to just taking a few swings and saying, 'Hey, that feels all right,'" Baldelli said. Correa landed on the IL with a right middle finger contusion, but he could be activated as early as Monday, when he's eligible to return. The 27-year-old has hit .255 with two home runs, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored in his first 24 games with the Twins, and his fantasy managers are hoping he's back sooner than later this week.
