The trade talks surrounding ex-Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa seem to have been overblown.
Correa's contract doesn't do a small-market team like the Twins any favor, but for a team looking to win a loaded American League Central division, trading the former superstar wouldn't make much sense."The speculation surrounding Correa's availability was overblown this week, club officials indicated, as they continue to emphasize they are not doing anything more than their normal due diligence when asked about any of their best players.
His best campaign came in 2021, his final season with the Astros, when he posted a 7.2 WAR and slashed .279/.366/.485 with a career-high 26 home runs.He played in 86 games during the 2024 season, slashing .310/.388/.517 with 14 home runs, 20 doubles, 54 RBI, and an OPS+ of 152.
