Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa says he turned down an offer for a $120 million, six-year contract covering 2022-27 and is not sure whether there will be a deal before his deadline of opening day next week. Correa has an $11.3 million salary this year and can become a free agent after the World Series. “The way things are looking, I don’t know right now,” Correa aid Thursday. “Once the season starts and I start playing, I’m playing my last season before I become a free agent,” he said. Correa was an All-Star in 2017, when he helped lead the Astros to their first World Series title.
