Carlos Correa of the Twins reports no pain in his feet:
“I can say I’m in a great spot,” Correa said. “I’m in a spot where I don’t feel anything.”
Now, it’s a matter of keeping it that way after two consecutive years of dealing with the injury in each foot. Correa has spent the offseason focusing on what he can control, namely his health.
Correa has shifted to shoes with better support on the arch, so he is putting less pressure on his heels. He’s more careful with the types of surface he sprints on, running more and more on grass and dirt like he would while playing baseball and less on concrete. Inside the house, he’s been walking around barefoot, which he said has been a help, as well.

Foot injuries require rest, which means staying off your feet. Of course, it becomes difficult to maintain playing form when the injury limits movement. It looks like Correa finally figured out how to get around that.
He’s coming off a half-season in which he posted 3.7 rWAR. A six to seven WAR season at shortstop would go a long way to making the Twins contenders. Note that they were strong up the middle last season except at second base. Brooks Lee is still young, and showed the ability to get on base in the minors. A healthy Correa and a maturing Lee could make the team very solid offensively at the most skilled positions
Improving the corners is much easier than improving up the middle. The Twins have not done much in the winter, and we’ll see if they were right to stand pat.
