Earlier this year, when MLB came out of the lockout, the biggest question was which team would get to sign the superstar free agent, Carlos Correa. It is not that Correa did not want to continue with the Houston Astros, but the Astros were not willing to offer him the contract that Correa wanted.

Since Correa had already let the Yankees close their doors for him, after a controversial statement on Derek Jeter, he did not had enough options to land a new contract. But thanks to his super agent, Scott Boras, Carlos Correa signed a three-year contract with the Minnesota Twins, for a whopping $105.3 million.

And now, when the regular season is about to end, the star shortstop has come up with a bold statement regarding his contract situation.

Carlos Correa wants a longer contract

Per MLB.com, Carlos Correa said he wants a longer contract for the upcoming years. Notably, when Correa signed for the Twins, he made sure to have an option to opt out of the contract in the first two years. 

So, even if the Twins shortstop is in a contract, he can negotiate a better contract with any other MLB team.

“When I go to the mall and I go to the Dior store when I want something, I get it,” Correa said. “I ask how much it costs, and I buy it. If you really want something, you just go get it. I’m the product here. If they want my product, they’ve just got to come get it.”

​​“I want a long-term relationship with someone, I want to get married. I don’t want to just be dating and going on one-night stands; I want to marry an organization.”
