September 9 - Despite having a potential 12-year, $315 million deal with the Mets unravel last winter because of concerns over his physical, Minnesota shortstop Carlos Correa maintains he wasn't looking forward to this weekend's series against New York all year.
"I just saw we were playing the Mets the other day when we were playing in Cleveland, and I checked the calendar to see who we were playing at home and it was the Mets and the Rays," Correa said.
Correa, who eventually signed a six-year, $200 million deal with Minnesota on Jan. 10, homered and doubled to lead the American League Central-leading Twins to a 5-2 victory over the Mets on Friday in the series opener at Minneapolis.
(The deal with the Mets) didn't come to fruition and I moved on.
Now I'm here with the Minnesota Twins.
