After failed free-agent deals with the Mets and Giants, he ultimately re-signed with the Twins in January for $200 million over six years.
“It didn’t motivate me at all,” Correa said when asked by The Post if he is playing with something new to prove. “I’m happy where I’m at right now. We have a great team, great front office. My contract is shorter so I can retire younger and spend time with my kids. Everything worked out great for me and my family.
