The 27-year-old shortstop, Carlos Correa, made his MLB debut in 2015 for the Houston Astros. He came back to Houston while representing the Minnesota Twins. On his return, Correa expressed how homely, complete, and wholesome it felt. Eventually, in November 2021, Correa was declared a free agent. He rejected the Astros’ extension letter and signed with the Minnesota Twins in 2022.

During his six-year tenure with the Astros, Correa gained a lot of success and sought some drama too. He won the Rookie of the Year award in his debut season and was part of a controversial World Championship victory in 2017. Moreover, he also made appearances on two All-Star teams. While playing for the Astros, Carlos was a fan favorite. It is palpable from the reception he received when the Astros took on the Minnesota Twins today.

Carlos Correa comes back to his former home ground!

In March 2022, Correa signed a 3-year deal with the Minnesota Twins for $105.3 million. Obviously, this led to the end of the Correa-Astros relationship. Last evening, as the Minnesota Twins visited the Houston Astros, Carlos Correa went back home to Minute Maid Park in Houston.

Correa’s trip back home was sentimental for everyone. The Astros added to the special occasion by honoring his achievements and career with them. After the game, Carlos Correa tweeted his reaction to the Astros honoring him. He said, “It was very emotional. It was a special moment, not only for myself but also for my family that was here. I want to thank the Houston fans and the Astros organization for making it happen. Honestly, it was quite a great experience I’ll never forget.”

New York Yankees Will “Swoop In” on Carlos Correa After MLB Lockout, Suggests MLB Insider

The applause of the fans displays the level of respect that comes with a celebration like this. As the Astros honor Correa, he runs to the bleachers and carries his son to the ballpark, and makes him a part of the celebration.

The Houston Astros 2017 cheating scandal

In recent times, the Astros have been one of the more successful teams. Even today, they are topping the American League at 0.637. Markedly, they won the World Championship in 2017. However, the Astros were found guilty of stealing opponent signs in the 2017 and 2018 seasons. MLB launched a thorough investigation into this, and after being found guilty, the field and general manager got suspended for a season. Moreover, they were fined $5 million and lost their first and second-round draft pick in 2020 and 2021.

As can be seen, Correa admitted to trashing cans as well. However, despite the 2017 cheating scandal, Carlos Correa is yet very popular back home (evident from yesterday’s game). What do you think about that?
