Shocking Revelations on Carlos Correa’s Medical Records Suggest Signing Delay

While many deals were signed before the lockout, the future of star agent Carlos Correa is still unknown. Big franchises like New York Yankees have shown immense interest in having him on their side.

However, despite his fame in free agency, no prominent deals or offers have been signed yet. Interestingly, new reports emerging have revealed the possible deal-breaker between Carlos Correa and his future deals.

Carlos Correa’s lower back controversy

Back in the 2019 season, Carlos was facing lower back issues; however, since then, there were no new updates about the injury. Notably, ESPN’s MLB insider, Buster Olney, revealed some shocking information about Carlos Correa’s lower back injury now.

According to Buster, the reason for the delay in Carlos signing any deals is because of his persisting injury. Olney said, “there are questions about [Correa’s] lower back.”

He further said that in the past Carlos had treatment for his injury and the teams can access his records only if they make him a significant offer. Courtesy of his ‘condition’, the teams have been skeptical about giving him any offer as they aren’t aware of what he might be dealing with.

An injury that took place in 2019 has come back to haunt Carlos in 2021. However, given this could be a rumor, it’s too soon to reach any conclusion. If Carlos secures a whopping million-dollar deal after the lockout, it will discard his lower back injury rumors.

A lot has been said about Carlos Correa’s future in the 2022 season. Notably, the New York Yankees’ front office left no chance of praising the star shortstop. In fact, they were even rumored to offer him a deal above $300 million. However, another rumor hinted towards Yankee’s arch-rivals, Boston Red Sox, hijacking him from the pinstripes team.

Moreover, another team entered the headlines when Correa was spotted having breakfast with Detroit Tigers’ manager. However, the Tigers chose another shortstop.

The most recent rumor has it that the Chicago Cubs have now entered the race, with Correa reaching out to former Cubs players to inquire about the team himself. Of course, his former team Houston Astros has always been a part of the race.
