Can Carlos Correa still make a comeback?

Carlos surely can make a comeback to his former team. In fact, a recent report by ESPN’s Buster Olney had claimed, if Carlos Correa doesn’t receive a whopping $300 million above offer, he might settle for Astros. The deal is expected to be a short-term contract with high average annual pay.

According, to Buster, Carlos had declined a $275 million deal with Detroit Tigers before the lockout. Hence, Astros would have to make their offer strategically to Carlos, either above $300 million or a high average annual salary.
