He's saying all the right things..



Well, I guess he clearly won't be signing with the Marlins.



I still don't get why Correa felt the need to say this though. Only reinforces the perception throughout the league that he's a huge asshole.

Isn’t this akin to saying 2+2=4?

Why is stating a simple fact considered controversial?

Jeter plays in Minnesota his whole career, he's a "real solid player"

Nor will is it likely he will sign with the Yankees.

Fans can say it, usually players won't say it about each other unless they really dislike each other. It's also not very common that players rip on the generation before them.

It's one of those, it's true, but he shouldn't say it kind of concepts.

All of the Astros who profited from cheating are huge assholes.

Must suck for them that you think they’re assholes. I hope they can carry on.

Fixed that for you.

I'm also fully aware that they don't give a shit what I or anyone else thinks.

In his entire career he only played in 4 games where his team was mathematically eliminated from the pennant race. He's a winner

If you look at the years Jeter won his Gold Gloves I can kind of see how it happened. The competition wasn't that great. Before he won his first won Vizquel won like 8 years in a row. Then A-rod won twice. Then when Jeter won in 2005 A-Rod was a 3b and Vizquel was in the NL. And a lot of his competition only played in like 100 games while Jeter played 150. And in between Jeter Gold Gloves Michael Young won one.

I thought Jeter looked like a deserving Gold Glover in comparison to Young.

The only SS worse than Jeter during his era....was Tony Womack....a RF.

Yeah I could see that. I think Young was a pretty mediocre defender, especially at shortstop.
