Carlos Correa

Nobody signed with more teams in the offseason than Carlos Correa. The 28-year-old shortstop did the tango with the Giants (12-year, $315 million) and waltzed with the Mets (12-year, $315 million) before they rejected him, and he decided to take his ex back, signing a 6-year, $200 million contract with the Twins. Both San Francisco and New York balked at Correa following a physical that reportedly raised concerns about his ankle injury and how it would hold up in such long contracts. Fantasy managers shouldn't worry any more than they typically do about his injury risk. When he is healthy, he is a slash machine (career .279/.357/.479), and even though his running days are over, he will make an excellent SS2 or middle infielder on fantasy rosters.

Fantasy Impact

Park notes that Correa's second son is due March 11 when Puerto Rico opens pool play and potential travel and ramp-up concerns were enough to pull out. Correa landed back with Minnesota this winter after physical concerns axed deals with both the Giants and Mets. He hit .291 with 22 home runs and an .833 OPS across 136 games with the Twins last year and is under contract with the club for the next six seasons.
