The Astros don’t have a regular shortstop anymore. Carlos Correa, the star who owned the position for the past seven years, is no longer a member of the team at least for now. For the second year in a row, Houston faces the departure of one of its studs — George Springer, if you’re wondering. To have Correa back, they need to put enough numbers on the table to beat the competition.
They began the race offering a five-year contract worth $160 million, according to FOX 26’s Mark Berman. But nowadays when teams are giving 10-year contracts, you don’t have to be a genius to know that Correa is probably seeking a much larger deal, especially considering his age (27).
