New York Yankees Manager Not Bothered by Carlos Correa’s Houston Astros History in Pursuit

Carlos Correa and New York Yankees’ potential relationship in 2022 has been in conversation since the off-season started. However, there were doubts about Correa’s past controversy with the Houston Astros being an apparent deal-breaker.

Interestingly, Yankees manager Aaron Boone has shut down all the rumors. If Boone had anything to say about Carlos and his Houston Astros career, it was just words of appreciation for his stellar runs.

Aaron Boone praises Carlos Correa and denies rumors

With the off-season on currently, the crazy bids and controversies of free agency have already begun. The Yankees are leaving no stone unturned to grab every potential top player that will pave their way to the World Series in 2022.

One position they are desperately looking to fill is the shortstop. Former Houston Astros shortstop, Carlos Correa is one of the top players hitting the market in 2022.

According to ESPN’s Baseball Insider, Kiley McDaniel, the Yankees are planning to offer Correa a whooping $300million deal in December. However, there were doubts about the Yankees being ready to overlook Carlos’s 2017 World Series controversy with the Houston Astros.

However, the New York Yankees manager has cleared the air by praising Correa for his astonishing outing. Boone said, “I think he is, obviously, in the prime of his career, or entering the prime of his career even. And, is part of a what is a very special shortstop class, I think he is a guy that has really developed into a leader, over the last several seasons with the Astros.”

He further added, “He is going to be in high demand, and for good reasons. Based on the player, he is between the lines, but also the intangible that you seen him grow into over the years, at least across the diamond.”

During the interview, when Aaron was asked if he’s bothered by Carlos’ controversial history, Boone confidently replies, “No.”

While it seems like Yankees are quite interested in him, did they miss out on Carlos’ recent statement?

In a recent conversation with Me Gustan Los Deportes podcast, Carlos was brutally honest about his thoughts on Yankees’ legend Derek Jeter. Correa said, “Derek Jeter didn’t deserve any of the Golden Gloves he won.”

The Yankees fans were definitely not happy with the comment; however, the officials might overlook it for their future shortstop needs. Do you think Carlos Correa and New York Yankees’ rumored relationship will turn into a real one soon?
