Carlos Correa says the door to a return to Houston is open

The shortstop of the Houston Stars, Carlos Corretja, He told MLB.com that although he will be a free agent at the end of the current season, he entered Wednesday in his final month, which has not completely ruled out a return to Houston.

As reported by journalist Brian McTaggart, Correa has not had recent conversations with management as requested. Correa turned down a $ 120 million offer for six years and then another five for $ 125 million.

“I was very clear that once the season started, I didn’t want to have conversations,” the Puerto Rican told MLB.com. “Obviously they’ve respected that. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season. We’ll see where we are.”

A week ago, Correa had hinted that his time with the Stars was over. The boricua is one of four elite shortstops who would enter free agency at the end of the season, and the amounts of money they would potentially offer Correa could complicate the Stars’ ability to try to meet their demands.

But the Santa Claus said the door is still open to return to Houston next year.

“One never knows. Obviously I won’t have a contract with the Stars for next year. Who knows? If they want to keep me here I’ll be very happy to stay. If they don’t see me with the team in the long run, I’ll go to playing with another team. That decision is out of my hands. The only thing that is in my hands is the way I run on the field and the way it helped my team win. “

According to McTaggart, Correa admitted that as the season enters its final month, he knows he could get sentimental, especially in front of fans at Minute Maid Park.

“Oh. 100% knowing it’s my last year of contract without knowing if I’m going to come back, of course I’ll get sentimental,” he told MLB.com.
