Carlos Correa makes a shocking change to his Twitter bio

The 27-year-old featured among the highlights of the Astros’ season this year. In the regular season, he scored 104 runs and recorded 92 RBI with an OPS of .850. Along with his exploits on the diamond as a shortstop, Correa recorded a WAR of 7.2 which showed how valuable he was to the World Series finalists.

Throughout the season, Correa insisted he deserved a more lucrative contract in the future. However, the Astros failed to tie him down with a contract he liked, which saw him become a free agent for next season.

Although the Astros attempted to re-sign the shortstop with a five-year, $160million extension, it seems he has already made up his mind. In a stunning turn of events, the 27-year-old’s bio no longer features the words ‘Astros shortstop.’

While this spells trouble for the Astros, it’s good news for other teams looking to add Correa to their rosters.

Even before officially becoming a free agent, the Yankees made their interest in Correa very clear. The 27-time World Series champions need a high-quality shortstop, and they don’t come much better than the 27-year-old at the moment.

However, Corey Seager’s free agency also interests the Yankees. Aged the same as Correa, the Los Angeles Dodgers star is a left-handed hitter, which could solve another crucial issue they have in their hitting depth.
