Carlos Correa is headed West.
The star shortstop agreed to record-setting 13-year, $350 million take care of the San Francisco Giants, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed on Tuesday night.
ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported the contract, which comes with no opt-outs and a full no-trade clause, per Heyman.
It’s the fourth-largest guaranteed money deal in MLB history, behind Mike Trout ($426.5M), Mookie Betts ($365M) and Aaron Judge ($360M) and relegates Francisco Lindor’s deal ($341M) to the second-largest for a shortstop.
Last yr, the 28-year-old turned down the Giants’ $160 million offer, as an alternative taking a three-year take care of with the Twins that paid him $35.1 million in 2022 before he opted out this offseason.
The 2-time All-Star hit 22 homers with an OPS of .834 this past season — his sixth time with an OPS of over .800 to go together with a Rookie of the 12 months award and a Platinum Glove.
Correa sent an early warning to groups available in the market for his services in September: be able to spend.
“I’m going to the mall and I’m going to the Dior store and I need something, I get it,” Correa told reporters. “I ask how much it costs and I purchase it. So in the event you really need something, you simply go get it. I’m the product here, and in the event that they want my product, they’ve just got to return get it.”
The Giants did just that, making Correa the newest star shortstop to take home big money this offseason, following the likes of Trea Turner (11 years, $200 million with the Phillies) and Xander Bogaerts (11 years, $280 million with the Padres).
The Mets were considering making a play for Correa to play third base, however the Giants got the the shortstop locked up now.
The Twins reportedly tried to maintain Correa within the fold, offering $285 million over 10 years, but will now must return to the shortstop market with Dansby Swanson the most important remaining name. They’ll have competition, with the Cubs, Dodgers, Twins and Red Sox also potential suitors for Swanson’s services.
