The Minnesota Twins have one of the best shortstops in the MLB, Carlos Correa, plus he has the highest base salary among players at thesame position in the league. The Twins’ roster is relatively good, but they haven’t won a World Series since 1991.

Carlos Correa is one of the many top names on the Twins’ roster, but he is the player with the best base salary on the team. Usually the player who earns the most is a pitcher, but Sonny Gray (Twins’ SP) earns just $10,200,00 a year.

So far, the Twins’ record is 18-11 overall, the team plays better at home than on the road with 11 wins and 4 losses. The most recent series was a home win against Oakland Athetics (Gray’s ex-team). The Twins play them again on May 16, 2022.
