The Houston Astros did not reach a pre-arbitration deal with Carlos Correa.

Already faced with the certainty of losing George Springer and the possibility of losing Michael Brantley as well, Houston Astros fans were looking for some good news on the Carlos Correa front. Unfortunately that hasn’t happened, as the team failed to reach a pre-arbitration deal with its star shortstop, meaning the two sides are headed for arbitration.
