HOUSTON (AP) — Carlos Correa’s path to a second season with the Minnesota Twins was a circuitous one that included him almost signing with both the Giants and the Mets.As the star shortstop prepared to lead the Twins in the AL Division Series against his former team the Houston Astros this weekend, he reflected on his crazy offseason.“It worked out the way it was supposed to for sure,” Correa told The Associated Press on Friday.

Translation: he forced the issue.Why would Jones force the issue? Well, he has to.Jones’ failures are not mutually exclusive from O&#...
