Carlos Correa has been one of the finest shortstops in the entire MLB over the last few years. Currently, a Minnesota Twins shortstop, Correa has also played for the American League champs Houston Astros.

Earlier this year, during the regular season, Correa signed a three-year contract with the Twins and left the Astros. At first, it seemed a smart move by Correa, but his 2022 season did not go as he would have liked. And now, even though Correa is not playing in the postseason, the former Astros shortstop is again the talk of the town.
