Carlos Correa wants people who are ”Exclusively Baseball”

Before and during the lockout, one person who has been in the headline is Carlos Correa. Eyed by the top teams like New York Yankees, Carlos is one huge deal most-awaited, once free agency resumes.

Taking some strong decisions to strengthen his chances, Correa hired professional American baseball agent, Scott Boras. Revealing why Correa picked him, Scott said, ”He made a decision he wanted baseball expertise. He wanted people he knew were 24-7 baseball like him and we are at the ballpark every night. We know the data we have an extraordinary database, he loves to work with.”

“He’s truly a baseball player….and made that realization he wanted people most like him & exclusively baseball.”
