The two 2021 World Series participants have tough decisions to make in the offseason regarding their star players.
Atlanta needs to figure out how to bring back first baseman Freddie Freeman. The lifelong Atlanta player is scheduled to hit the free-agent market.
The Houston Astros have a more difficult decision to make regarding Carlos Correa's contract because the shortstop may be the most coveted free agent in baseball this winter.
Correa could be on the way out because of his large contract demands, so that may lead the Astros to re-sign Justin Verlander, or any of its other free agents as its priority ahead of laying out a massive amount of money for Correa.
