Carlos Correa: podcast appearances and interviews

Carlos Javier Correa Oppenheimer Jr. is a Puerto Rican professional baseball player who serves as a shortstop and third baseman for the Houston Astros in Major League Baseball. He was born on September 22, 1994, and was selected first overall in the 2012 MLB draft by the Astros. Correa made his MLB debut in 2015 and was named the American League Rookie of the Year. Throughout his career, he has achieved significant recognition, including being named an MLB All-Star, winning the AL Player of the Month Award for May in 2017, and contributing to the Houston Astros' World Series victory in that year. In 2017, he also participated in the World Baseball Classic. In 2021, Correa was named to his second All-Star team and received the Gold Glove and Platinum Glove awards for his defensive excellence. After seven seasons with the Astros, he entered free agency and signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Twins, which he later opted out of after his first season. His attempts to sign with the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets fell through due to failed physicals. He then re-signed with the Twins, but during the 2025 season, Minnesota traded him back to the Astros.
