Five possible landing spots for Carlos Correa in free agency
1 min read
Carlos Correa is one of the top players available in MLB free agency this winter, and the two-time All-Star is expected to have many teams vying for his services in the coming weeks.
While a lot of the attention for this class has been on New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge and ace pitchers Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander, the shortstop market this year is stacked.
There are four current or former All-Stars at the position up for grabs, and Correa is arguably the best of the bunch. At only 28 years old, he has the track record and prime years ahead that make him worth the major investment it will take to acquire him.
Correa had another strong season in 2022, posting some of the best numbers of his career in key categories like average (.291), on-base percentage (.336), hits (152), home runs (22) and walks (61). That’s why, despite some worries about staying healthy in the future, he maintained his high value, exercised the option in his Minnesota Twins contract and is back on the market for a second straight year.
