Carlos Correa: Derek Jeter did not deserve any of his Gold Gloves

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 11/15/21

Carlos Correa is not exactly building bridges with New York Yankees fans amid his free agency.

Correa conducted an interview with former MLB player Carlos Baerga. Correa talked about winning his first Gold Glove last week.

During the interview, Correa and Baerga discussed legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who won five Gold Gloves. Correa argued that Jeter did not deserve any of them.

(Note: the interview is conducted in Spanish)

These comments might not sit very well with Yankees fans, who are likely supportive and protective of their former shortstop.

Correa meanwhile is a free agent, and the Yankees are believed to be one of the shortstop’s biggest suitors.

Will these comments harm Correa’s chances of signing with the Yankees? They might not sit well with Yankees fans, but that might not matter to Brian Cashman.
