Carlos Correa Contract Extension Still Interests Astros, Owner Jim Crane Says

The Houston Astros haven't ruled out re-signing Carlos Correa after failing to work out an extension with the 2017 All-Star before Opening Day.

"We respect Carlos," Astros owner Jim Crane said to Mark Berman of Fox 26 in Houston. "He’s been a great asset, a great spokesman for the team. He’s gonna test the market, and we’re fine with that. We’re still interested. … The door’s always open here."
