New York, EE.UU. /
In addition to being one of the winners of the Golden Glove and the winner of the Platinum Glove award in the American League, the Puerto Rican Carlos Correa continues to give something to talk about at the start of this MLB offseason, however, now he did so by becoming entangled in the controversy by questioning the five Golden Gloves won throughout his career by the legendary Derek Jeter.
Correa, Rookie of the Year from American League in 2015, he recently had an interview with Carlos Baerga through Instagram Live in which he seriously attacked the achievements of the legendary shortstop and member of the Hall of Fame.
“Derek Jeter didn’t deserve any of the Golden Gloves he won. His career saved for life were negative with 160, but the eye can deceive you, his fame is something else, but the numbers cannot lie ”, he assured.
Correa’s statement went viral on social networks and all the fans of the Big leagues began to comment on the comment. Although it seems like an out of place comment, Jeter is ranked among experts as one of the worst defenders since the advanced metric began to be used in the majors since 2003, and it is that it ended with a DRS (Defensive Runs Saved or Defensive Runs Saved) from -162 until the end of his career in 2014.
The truth is that Jeter is one of the greatest legends in Major League history and an idol for New York Yankees, so the comment has probably not been well received by the directive of the Bronx bombers nor his hobby that has already had Correa and the Astros in their sights since the scandal over the stealing of signs in the 2017 season.
In recent days, Ýankees had raised a lot of expectations about a possible hiring of Carlos Correa to cover the shortstop, but it is likely that after this incident, the negotiations will not go very well.
