Yankees: Carlos Correa lashes out at Derek Jeter Could he ruin his signing in NY?

Puerto Rican Carlos Correa is considered perhaps as the best free agent available in this winter market of MLB, seeking a mega contract worth over $ 300 million, and reportedly one of the top teams in the race for the Puerto Rican being the New York Yankees, having already started talks between his agent and Brian Cashman for his possible signature.

The relationship between the Yankees fans and Correa so far is complicated, after his involvement in the Astros signal theft scandal, which earned him the antipathy of almost all MLB, but mainly of the Bronx, an aspect that probably it would complicate your signature. However, Correa himself still does not win the favor of what could be his new fanatic with some burning statements.

In a live broadcast on Instagram with former Puerto Rican MLB Carlos Baerga, Correa mentioned that the legendary Yankee, Derek Jeter, did not deserve any of the 5 Golden Gloves he won in his career.

Derek Jeter How many Golden Gloves did he win? 5? Derek Jeter didn’t deserve any. Do you know how many defensive run saves he has in his career? -160 in his career. The eye can lie to you, but the numbers cannot.

The truth is that Carlos Correa is not telling any lies, since since the metric began to be used in 2003, Derek Jeter is the worst defender measured in the history of said statistic with a DRS of -162 between that date and the end of his career in 2014, while Correa has according to FanGraphs a surplus of DRS with 68 so far.

I am a fan of the San Francisco Giants, a number one defender of Barry Bonds and a critic of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Fernando Tatis Jr., Juan Soto and Ronald Acuña are the future of baseball, Mike Trout is overrated, and the Astros deserved to be taken away from the World Series for cheating. Besides baseball, I also enjoy soccer, football, basketball, and just about any other game that includes a ball or a ball. I am also an amateur musician, penniless gamer and very nerdy.
