The lockout in Major League Baseball has been annoying for most baseball players. But definitely not for Carlos Correa and his Astros teammates. Even two weeks before the spring training, the star-free agent has no idea for which team he will play baseball next season.
And instead of thinking about his next destination, Correa was enjoying the night with his Astros teammates, Lance McCullers and Alex Bregman. The three of them were spotted watching the UFC 271 fight at Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday night.
