Originally posted on ClutchPoints | By Nick Meyer | Last updated 3/9/24

The Minnesota Twins are defending AL Central champions and poised for another successful season with power hitting shortstop Carlos Correa back in the fold. Recently Correa spoke out on potential deals with two venerable MLB franchises that did not come to fruition during a spring training season that has piqued the interest of Minnesota fans everywhere.

Recently Correa also had a spring training admission that could set him up for a bounce-back season. The Twins’ 2024 spring training schedule got an update that is important to heed for Twins fans itching to watch more baseball in the coming days.

As the countdown continues to opening day, Correa got brutally honest on the recent past and what it means going forward.

‘No Grudges:’ Correa Speaks Out

Correa was quoted by Jon Heyman on Twitter about the $665 million in cancelled deals from the Mets and Giants that led him back to the Twin Cities.

He said he doesn’t hold any grudges against those two franchises and said the super long term deals he may have signed are not for him now anyway, according to Heyman’s post.

Correa was rejected by the Giants over problems with his physical. He was rumored to be heading for the Mets only to end up signing back with the Twins on a much less lucrative deal overall.
