"Carlos Correa entered the 2023 season as a career 130 wRC+ hitter, but from 2023 to '25, he hit just .266/.338/.428, a 113 wRC+. This decline has raised questions about his future contributions."
"Injuries have plagued Correa, with plantar fasciitis costing him significant time and leading to only 365 games played over the last three years. His defensive value has also diminished, complicating his ability to maintain star-level production."
"Correa's move to third base upon returning to Houston reflects a shift in his career trajectory. If he averages just over 120 games a season without a significant uptick in offensive output, maintaining star-level status will be difficult."
Carlos Correa was once a top shortstop with a career 130 wRC+, but his performance has declined since joining Minnesota. From 2023 to 2025, he posted a 113 wRC+ and moved to third base. Injuries, including plantar fasciitis, have limited his playing time to 365 games over three years. Maintaining star-level production is challenging without improved offensive consistency. The Twins are contributing $10MM to his salary, which adds complexity to his situation as he returns to the Astros.
