PSYCHE: Former Almost Mets Great Carlos Correa is reportedly signing with the Twins

Prototype for STEVE COHEN BASEBALL ’23 for the PS5…comes with nobody at 3B

Well, sorry of you bought season tickets and a Correa jersey because Carlos Correa has reportedly agreed to his third free-agent deal of the offseason, this one a six-year, $200 million pact to return to the Minnesota Twins. (per Yahoo via a Jeff Passan tweet)

This shocking development comes after Mets owner Steve Cohen spent his time talking to Queens residents about what to build on the parkland adjoining Citi Field.  One wonders if Steve’s multi-tasking had anything to do with the Mets finalizing the Correa deal.  It probably didn’t, but one could wonder about such a thing.

In the past, Mets owners such as the Wilpons may have been described as “Cheap” or “Stupid and Cheap” but “Uncle” Steve has much better PR people than the Wilpons ever did, so clearly Correa not signing with the Mets is the mark of a wise businessman.

Expect Correa to tell the Twins fanbase that they are the best fans in baseball, how proud he is to be on the Giants Mets Twins and that this was always his first choice and true love and it’s not about the money.  Also expect the Twins to be contracted around 2030 when this sport’s RSN money dries up and teams are left with albatross contracts.
