Crane has long remained a fan of Correa, to whom he offered a five-year, $160 million contract after the 2021 season. After Correa rejected it and signed with the Twins, Crane took the rare step of issuing a statement thanking Correa and his wife Daniella for their contributions to the city and franchise.

A whirlwind 48 hours for Carlos Correa saw him traded back to the Astros and hitting cleanup Friday in Boston.
