Will All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa stay in Houston?

The Astros have reportedly offered free agent Carlos Correa a lot of money. But it might not be enough to keep the All-Star shortstop in Houston.

The Astros' offer for the native of Puerto Rico is for $160 million over five years, according to Mark Berman of Houston TV station Fox 26. The average annual value of $32 million is comparable to what other top major-league shortstops are making, but the length of the offer is not.

San Diego star Fernando Tatis signed a 14-year deal worth $340 million with the Padres in March 2019. Fellow shortstop Francisco Lindor signed a 10-year, $341 million deal with the New York Mets in April after they acquired him in a trade with the Cleveland Indians.

Coincidentally, Lindor and Correa are both 27. Correa earned his second major-league All-Star berth this season after hitting .279 with 26 home runs and 94 RBI while leading the Astros to the World Series, which they lost in six games to the Atlanta Braves.

The Astros' offer to Correa -- should he accept it -- would make him the highest-paid player in Astros history - in terms of average earned per season - behind current teammate Jose Altuve, who is earning $163.5 million on his current seven-year deal.

Correa might have already kicked off his free agency campaign. He attended Saturday night's UFC 268 event at New York city's Madison Square Garden with Astros teammate Martin Maldonado. With Lindor firmly entrenched with the Mets, the New York Yankees might be in the market for Correa, especially since current shortstop Gleyber Torres has struggled of late for the Bombers.

In seven seasons with the Astros, Correa has hit .277 with 133 home runs and 489 RBI. He was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2015, when he batted .279 with 22 home runs and 68 RBI.
