Seeing Correa join the in-state rival Texas Rangers would be a weird sight for Astros fans. But it should not come as an absolute shock.

The Rangers are in need of a starting shortstop heading into the 2022 season, and they have the money to spend. Given that this is a franchise that has not been to the playoffs since they were swept by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2016 Divisional Series, they will have to spend some major money to win the AL West.

For Correa, he is obviously going to command a huge contract, especially considering what Fernando Tatis Jr. and Francisco Lindor received last offseason. But if the Rangers are that team, he gets his wish of being one of the highest-paid shortstops in the game and, he won’t have to move far.

Make no mistake about it, the Rangers may very well end up with one of the top shortstops in free agency, and it could very well be Correa. It would certainly hurt Astros fans to see him wearing the Rangers blue and white.
