He even looks at his watch to mark the time as a part of it all. But realistically speaking, a Correa retention for the Astros doesn’t seem to be on the cards. The superstar shortstop has during the off-season indicated that he is looking for a 10-year commitment with at least a $330 million contract.
And while the Astros were certainly willing to pay for Correa, it appears that his asking price was over what they were willing to spend. Correa is one of the finest shortstops available in the league at the moment, and even though he is yet to hit his peak years, he already has a World Series to his name. If he is to sign a contract, perhaps his agent, Scott Boras, is correct- It needs to be the Mt. Everest of contracts.
