I still doubt that Correa will have no choice but to accept a bad salary.  Why even put that in the contract, if you're Boras?  I can see the first year or two, maybe, because that's just making up for paying so much up front,  Maybe you're right, but I have to believe Correa won't be playing for $10 million then.  He'd probably retire.

They are front loading so he must have been willing to give up any out because he is getting paid early for those back end years.  If he gets crippled up, Hire him as a coach.

If anyone should have a chip, it's the Twins, the fans.  He dumped us twice for coastal elites.  We're not even the maid of honor; we're the second bridesmaid!  But I hope nobody has a chip.  I hope we follow the words of the Bard: All's well that ends well.

We are more like the side chic that stole the groom…. Lol

I think Correa is going to have a chip on his shoulder for a while.

Not another medical condition to have team doctors check out, and then us worry about for six years!

A-B-C, Baby, yeah!

What I've liked about Correa is his relative youth. 2023 will be his age 28 year. He should be in his prime for at least the next four years. Being obligated to pay him superstar money for only six seasons is a definite win for the Twins'  FO. 

The risk is injury. Have the Twins just been unlucky? As a Twins fan for life, I hope so.

This signing makes a trade for a SP much more urgent. Get that projection up to 87 wins, where the team is more than a coinflip to make the playoffs.
