Report: Carlos Correa not interested in signing contract extension

I'm sure he is willing to stay, but a fun clubhouse won't keep him here.

 

Just keep Springer, Altuve and Correa together. And Marwin...

 

He should keep the ones that end up on track for the HOF.

Right now, Altuve is meeting that criteria and then some.

 

What else do yall expect him to say?

 

If we can only keep two of the big 3, you keep the infielders. I love Springer, but he's a lot more replaceable than Altuve, Correa, or even Bregman for that matter.

 

I still dream of our mid-90s infield that could have been Caminiti-Jeter-Biggio-Bagwell...

...good decision in the long run to deal Caminiti, bad decision to draft Nevin ahead of Jeter...

 

Crane/Luhnow laying serious groundwork to gain a competitive advantage in the Correa free agent sweepstakes.

Sign his boyhood idol? Check. (Beltran is god in PR.)

Intro and foster relationship with beautiful local girl? Check. (Correa is dating a former Miss Texas; he met her when the Astros front office had her throw out a first pitch.)

Provide support during time of need? Check. (Crane helping in Puerto Rico and offered to fetch Correa’s family.)

Locking up Altuve and Correa sure would be sweet. These guys (especially Correa, Springer, Altuve, Marwin) sure do seem to love each other.

 

mob style: get him married, then Video tape him cheating on his wife with Ms. Texas. And let the games begin.

 

what is mmp waiting for. Let's get some fog machines in the dugout! and all over the park.

 

Counterpoint:
-Let portions represent the franchise at the NBA lottery. Check.

-Made sure portions dated a local dime piece from the Houston area. Check.

-Made sure portions felt important in the franchise by letting him lead recruiting for dwert. Check.

-Made sure portions had local ad deals with car dealerships. Check.

-Allowing portions into free agency early to sign him over the cap once we had our big 3. Errr.....

I would love to say we have a clear path to lock Correa up for many, many years to come, but weve all seen that road and where it can take people. Granted, I believe portions and Correa are 2 very different people character-wise, I just dont want to put all our eggs in one basket. FUKC YOU portions(although, Im glad we are rid of you now in hindsight).

 

Another dude wanting to leave the city because James Harden and Rockets overshadowing him....

SMH

 

Yeah. Can't keep them all. Will go all in for Altuve and Correa.

Question for Altuve though is he's not a FA until 2020 and he'll be 30. What kind of contract do you give him then?

 

Correa is going to Yankees or Red Sox. 400 mill. Book it.

 

Likely true. Take the average of what Harper and Machado get after next season, add 20%, and that’s what Correa will likely be lookin for.

 

Pay the money for all three, whatever they want, sign a Chinese ball player, cash out like Les. This will get done. We can go back to your 2011-13 Astros in 2030 and recoup then. This is a dynasty.

 

Unless one of them is signing with someone else this month I just don't give a **** right now.
