Carlos Correa has had a stellar time while with the Houston Astros. His time at the Minute Maid park has made him possible the top target of the 2022 off-season. Helped along by a lack of free agents remaining in the shortstop position Correa is looking to land a monster contract this season. But in the meantime, He seems to be clearing space for some new collectibles.

Carlos Correa recently put up a whole host of items from his time at the Houston Astros up for sale. Could this mean that he is preparing space for new collectibles to take their place? Or is it just a matter of routine with him clearing out memorabilia that he has accrued over the years?

Correa puts up items for sale

Carlos Correa has put up several of his personal items as being listed for sale recently. This collection comprises almost his entire collection of game-used Astros memorabilia. And while the collection may be much larger, it will include various big ticket items like his World Series Game 6 Jersey from 2021, the used jersey from Game 7 of ALCS 2017  and several used bats and cleats from crunch games.

Astros fans seem to be asking the question as to why Correa is selling off such valuable items right now?  Especially in the middle of the off-season with definition to his future. But Correa has long been a smart operator and has usually auctioned off his items privately and quickly. The Twitterati theorized that this might finally be a liquidation of his years in Houston.
