On Dec. 21, the shortstop agreed to a $315 million contract with the Mets. Twenty days later, he agreed to a $200 million deal with Minnesota. What happened?
Carlos Correa is the ultimate luxury: a $315 million player who plays the same position as another Mets star. But Steven A. Cohen worries about winning, not price tags.

Carlos Correa, Trea Turner and Xander Bogaerts were each signed to deals of 11 or more years this off-season. History suggests they could be on the move relatively soon.
