The Boston Red Sox made a surprisingly generous offer to the Minnesota Twins, but were turned down, a new report says.

There was excitement for Correa to join the likes of Byron Buxton, an otherworldly talent whose only barrier to superstardom had been health, and Royce Lewis, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, who made his major-league debut that season.

Royce Lewis’ two-out single forced Cora to call upon his closer after all. Chapman, who exited Sunday’s Dodgers finale with back spasms, picked up his 19th save after just three pitches, as ’24 Red Sox rookie Mickey Gasper went down swinging.
