3 years agoMinnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa's $35.1 million salary in 2022 is the highest for an infielder in major league history and he can opt out of his three-year deal with the Twins after this season. However, Correa has already spoken with president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and general manager Thad Levine to express his willingness to sign a longer-term deal. "I told 'em, 'Hey guys, I know I have the opt-outs in the contract. But I really like it here,'" Correa said. The Twins plan to continue dialogue with Correa's agent, Scott Boras. The 27-year-old didn't appear in a spring training game until March 27 and is off to a slow start in Minnesota, hitting just .192 (10-for-52) with home homer, three RBI and 18 strikeouts in 14 games. He's typically started off slow, so his fantasy managers are hoping he'll get back on track soon.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
