Carlos Correa’s WBC Plan Hits Sudden Astros Roadblock

Correa said he won’t play for Puerto Rico at the WBC after Jim Crane told him his $31M deal can’t be insured. Without coverage, he could forfeit regular-season pay if injured. “Definitely upset,” Correa said, but it’s “too big a risk.” Jose Altuve also won’t play for Venezuela, per Athletic, amid tougher approvals after last season’s injury-heavy year in Houston.
