Correa reportedly turned down deals of six years for $120 million and five years, $125 million earlier this year. Houston Astros owner Jim Crane said Thursday that the club will attempt to retain shortstop Carlos Correa, who is slated to become a free agent following the season. He hit five homers in the 2017 postseason — including two in the World Series — as Houston won the crown. He plays hard, he’s very infectious with his leadership, and he’s a great guy, and he’s been a brand here since he got here. Correa has a .277 career average with 133 homers and 489 RBIs in 752 games with Houston.
