Teams have always had long term concerns about Correa. That's why the best deal he could find last year was basically a "prove-it" deal with Minnesota.
While he played well for the Twins, he still missed 26 games. His offensive numbers were decent, but they they weren't exactly mind-blowing.
I've never been convinced "Winning" the Carlos Correa Sweepstakes, wouldn't end up being a misnomer.
