In 2023, Carlos Correa was unable to participate in the World Baseball Classic.

Is the Puerto Rican surprised that the process is so complex? No. In fact, after the saga of his contracts with the Giants and the Mets, he understood that his health was the subject of much discussion.

But in 2026, he still hoped to be able to represent his country. That won't happen because of insurance issues.

What you should know, however, is that a well-known Puerto Rican tried to change the situation. Bad Bunny, who made headlines during the most recent Super Bowl, offered to insure the Astros star's contract for the World Baseball Classic.

The man himself, as reported by The Athletic, confirmed everything. He also confirmed that, although he greatly appreciates the gesture, he did not say yes to the artist. This is despite the fact that he wanted to play in front of his fans.

Why? Because Major League Baseball, the Astros, and Scott Boras, his agent, all advised him to say no. The reason: Bad Bunny was doing business with a company that had a history of not always paying.

Remember that Jim Crane, who has always loved Correa, had asked his third baseman not to play for his country in order to stay at the Astros' camp and help his teammates. He had done so before Bad Bunny's offer.

Correa also wants to adapt to his new position so he can win a Gold Glove at third base one day.

I can't wait to see if Correa, who wants to stay healthy and wants his teammates to be better prepared for what's next, can get the Astros back on track for the playoffs.

That's why he's back in Texas, after all.
