6 years, $200 million, the largest contract in team history

[Reporter Lin Youchen/Comprehensive Report] Coria, a famous shortstop in the free market in the United States, has had a twists and turns in the contract negotiation process. Since the end of last year, the Giants have offered 350 million US dollars (approximately 10.64 billion Taiwan dollars) for 13 years. He has doubts about the medical examination report. The signing was delayed by the Giants and the Mets.

Yesterday, it was reported that Coria's parent team, the Shuangcheng, re-negotiated with him last year. The two sides negotiated a 6-year contract of 200 million US dollars (about 6 billion Taiwan dollars). The current medical report has not yet had results, and the Shuangcheng has not yet officially announced.

Coria is 28 years old this year. The Twin Cities gave him this contract, including a conditional option after 6 years. If he remains healthy and has the option to automatically renew the contract, the total value of the contract is 270 million U.S. dollars (about 8.2 billion Taiwan dollars) over 10 years.

Even if it's a shrinking deal for him from the original deal with the Giants, it's still the largest deal in Twins history.

Although Correa still has to wait for the medical report, the US media pointed out that the Twins have received most of his medical reports, including the right ankle injury that the Giants and Mets once had doubts about.

Moreover, Correa only missed the game last year due to a diagnosis and a touch ball. The reason for the absence has nothing to do with the ankle. There are still 136 games played in a single season, and the OPS+ is 140 (the league average is 100), which is the best in a single season of his career. You should make an appointment only when you are sure.

The MLS official website also believes that considering the situation of the teams in the American League Central District, the Twins are worth fighting for. Correa is also popular with his teammates, and the Twins need to play right, which makes this contract extension more reasonable.
