Whose exit strategy was stranger: Deshaun Watson's or Carlos Correa's?
Friday, March 18, 2022. Black Friday in Houston sports history, and a date that will live in infamy for any sports fan in our fair city, for on this day, Deshaun Watson became a Cleveland Brown, and Carlos Correa became a Minnesota Twin.
If it feels like you're in the middle of a psychedelic fever dream reading that first paragraph, it's completely understandable. It's unfathomable how many big stars have left this city over the last two years, names like Hopkins, Clowney, Watt, Springer, Cole, Harden and Westbrook. However, the true faces of the Texans and Astros franchises for the next decade were supposed to be Watson and Correa.
The fact that both are leaving, understanding that each has totally different circumstances swirling around his departure, is sad enough. The fact that Watson orchestrated a trade to the BROWNS, and Correa is signing a pretty reasonable, low risk deal with the TWINS.... again.... fever dream. So which was the bigger"WTF, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" swerve this past Friday? Deshaun Watson getting traded to the Browns, or Carlos Correa signing a three-year deal with the Minnesota Twins? Let's do a Tale of the Tape, shall we?Even if, for whatever reason, you don't have Watson or Correa among your favorite athletes, you still have to admit that both are fierce competitors who are capable winners. My guess is both thirst for a championship in 2022 in their respective sports.
