Correa had his physical on Monday, so there could just be a delay in processing information from that, especially during Christmas week.

Correa has a career.279 average and 129 OPS-plus in 888 games over eight MLB seasons. He also won a Platinum Glove as the American League’s top defensive player in 2021 with Houston.
