With the lockout going on in Major League Baseball, players can’t train with the team and prepare for the upcoming season. But Carlos Correa, probably the most valuable free agent in major league baseball, has already started his training ahead of the upcoming season, as has been evidenced by his wife’s update.
Recently, the owners and the MLB Players’ Association had a couple of meetings regarding the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. But there are still major economic complications around the new agreement. That is the reason why the lockout will not end anytime soon.
With MLB Lockout still in motion, free agents are not in a position to negotiate with any MLB side. Top players like Carlos Correa, Freddie Freeman, Kris Bryant, Seiya Suzuki, and many others are out of contract, and they are yet to sign with any team.
