According to various sources such as Jon Heyman of MLB Network and Mark Feindsand, also from the same medium, leaked information that finally the Houston stars had reached a salary agreement with the Puerto Rican campocorto Carlos Correa, one of the ten players of MLB what they were awaiting arbitration hearings.
The agreement according to the two journalists, is for a year and 11.7 million US dollars in exchange. It is necessary to remember that at the outset, Correa rejected the US $ 9,750,000 that had been offered to him to campocorto, since he asked to gain no more and no less than US $ 12.5. Given that the two sides negotiated satisfactorily, it can be said that the final agreement exceeded the midpoint by just over half a million dollars.
Had it not been for the pandemic that tore down MLB’s plans for a full season, the Puerto Rican would have earned $ 8 million, but his salary, like the rest of the big league players, would have gone be prorated for the fact that only 60 regular role-playing games were played.
It should be mentioned that this is the last year of arbitration of who was ever named Rookie of the Year in 2015 at the age of 20. It is still unclear whether the Astres have formally spoken of a contract extension with the Ponce native, Puerto Rico, but what is clear is that the long short-lived Parador wants to remain part of the organization, in fact, he recently declared that his desire is “to be a Star for life.”
