Yes. Correa will be asking for a ton of money (at the very least what Bregman got). And I can't imagine the team giving him anywhere near what he is asking for given his recurring back problems and other injuries.
Agree. Correa is at 294 (probably topping out at 296 or 297) games for the last three years out of a possible 486. I can't imagine them paying Correa Bregman's $11M per year let alone the $28M per year he's due in the last 2 years of his extension in '23 and '24. Harper/Machado $$ is just crazy talk.
When he is well, CC is one of the most exciting, MVP-caliber players around. The 60% of games he's played in the last 3 years don't warrant that kind of payout, especially since some percentage of those he's even playing subpar as he deals with, recovers from or gets his timing back after his myriad injuries.
Edited to add: I trust the Astros braintrust though. The same "fragile" label was on Brantley as well and look how that's turning out.
