This drive to improve and desire to be the best he can be is why Steve Cohen was so willing to spend big money on Correa. Furthermore, he has achieved so much at just 28 years old and is still in his prime. The All-Star has had a fantastic last couple of seasons and the Mets will want that to continue.
Correa had a great last couple of seasons:
In 2021, Carlos Correa had one of the best seasons of his career in his last year with the Houston Astros. He batted well and took home the Platinum Glove for his fielding. He was also an All-Star that year. In 2022, Correa had a great season as well but did not take home any awards. The thing that he showcased the most was his leadership with the Minnesota Twins.
