However, a new fans squad has entered the Carlos Correa race, the Los Angeles Angels. In his latest pictures from Christmas with family, a member of Correa’s family was seen wearing the Angels cap, standing next to Correa.
While the child himself could be an Angels fan; however, him being related to Carlos, one cannot ignore the shortstop’s potential future with the team. Although, it would be too soon to come to any conclusions, as things would be clear after the lockout.
Fans obviously are getting impatient with the diverse hints, trying to find a sure answer to his future. The baseball fans have titled Carlos Correa as the troll in town.
