In Photos: Carlos Correa's stunning $7,500,000 worth 2.19-acre estate in Orono

Twins shortstop Carlos Correa is playing in his seventh postseason and his first with Minnesota in 2023. The 2015 AL Rookie of the Year was the first overall pick in the 2012 MLB draft by the Astros. In his seven-year stint with the Astros, Correa made it to October six times and won the World Series Championship in 2017.

The Puerto Rican shortstop played his last game with the Astros in 2021 and became a free agent. Post his free agency, the Astros offered him an extended contract of one year worth $18.4 million which Carlos rejected. He went on to sign an opt-out provisioned contract with the Twins in March of the 2022 season for 105.3 million dollars, becoming the highest-paid infielder in the American league.

However, in the 2022 offseason, he opted out of the contract and negotiated a 13-year contract with the San Francisco Giants worth $350 million. Unfortunately, the deal did not close as the Giants had concerns about an injury that Correa suffered in 2014.

The same situation took place with the New York Mets who took back a 12-year contract of 315 million dollars after examining the shortstop's ankle. After much negotiations, Correa finally re-signed a six-year contract with the Mets in January 2023.
