I don't understand this. How come he didn't get the 300-400 mill longterm deal?

MLB Network was just saying they believe the lockout had a bit to do with it, so he signed this shorter deal with hopes of eventually landing a 10+ year deal.

Opt out after a year in cash in.
Carlos Correa's deal with the Twins will pay him $35.1 million in each of the three years. No front-loading. He's got opt-outs after the first and second seasons of the deal. It came together quickly today. And the top free agent of the winter goes to Minnesota in a stunner.

That NL East is gonna be wild. Hell the NL in general. The Central has a few solid teams (STL/MIL), but the NL West. Dodgers (LOADED), Giants (can they repeat what they did last year?), Padres (amazing if Tatis can stop being dumb), Rockies added Bryant. And then the NL East. Braves/Mets/Phillies are all loaded. Phillies need pitching. Braves have a ton of solid young pitching. Mets? deGrom/Scherzer/Bassitt/Walker/Carrasco? Phew.
Gonna be a fun season.

I like it
[In addition, the deal also essentially has a Shohei Ohtani rule with the designated hitter becoming universal in the new collective bargaining agreement. The new rule stipulates that if the starting pitcher is also hitting in the lineup, then that player remains as the DH even if he is pulled from the start. Thus, if Ohtani, say, pitched five innings, he would still hit through the entire game. This rule is for the life of the new CBA, not just for 2022 and the hope is to promote more two-way players.
