The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 06:40, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

– There is only one "Carlos Correa" on the English Wikipedia. The other pages currently listed at "Carlos Correa" are Gabriel Correa (full name Carlos Gabriel Correa Viana), Carlos René Correa, and Carlos Rodrigues Corrêa. Given that the others have these name differences (i.e., none of the other pages are or need to be "Carlos Correa (specifier)", I suggest that the baseball player is the "primary topic" for "Carlos Correa", does not need the specifier, and the disambiguation page should be moved. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:26, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Carlos Correa (baseball) → Carlos Correa
 * Carlos Correa → Carlos Correa (disambiguation)
 * Support. In addition to the above, the baseball player has received 95.6% of all pageviews of the four articles listed at the disambiguation page, and over 44 times the views of the second-most viewed (31,263 vs. 701). The disambiguation page also gets more views (1274) than any of the other articles, and the significant spike in views of the disambig page coincides with a significant spike in views for the ballplayer, but not for the other three. None of the other articles suggest that they could make a claim for long-term significance to counter the usage claim. Egsan Bacon (talk) 19:16, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Support None of the other people seem to be most commonly referred to as Carlos Correa, so I'd support this even disregarding page views. &mdash;innotata 22:57, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Rookie of the Year Awards
With regard to the current edit war regarding the Info box awards, I am of the opinion that the Rookie of the YEAR awards do not replace or reduce the importance of the Rookie of the MONTHS award. The Year award is given in addition to the six Month awards. One does not negate the other. The fact that the player received a monthly award is worth noting for the readers information. Is their a general protocol for previous winners of both awards? Edit warring is not the answer!. Buster Seven   Talk  15:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Early Life
How does one 'hit up to' 150 home runs? Is that his 'youth career' total? This is very unclear. 72.251.28.28 (talk) 05:19, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for noticing. Someone had replaced the link to the story on ESPN. 150 home runs was when he was 7 years old. --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 23:44, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

I would like to change free agent to playing for Minnesota twin. 1996batman (talk) 15:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes 1996batman (talk) 15:40, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Carlos Correa is a shortstop with the San Francisco Giants. Please update this old outdated page. Several sources like MLB have stated he is going to SF. IF he was still a free Agent then The Padres could sign him and that is not the case. WIKIPEDIA needs to get with the times and stop with the old outdated news. Several sources on this transaction are online. I hope one day Wikipedia is bought by someone who will allow it to be edited in real time and Have accurat news and not old facts. CORREA IS NO LONGER A FREE AGENT. HE IS GOING TO SF. GET IT TOGETHER WIKIPEDIA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.192.182.107 (talk) 23:10, December 13, 2022 (UTC)
 * ❌ The tweet you linked clearly says "are in agreement," which means the deal isn't official yet. Troutfarm27  (Talk) 07:31, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Like I said at Talk:Christian Vázquez, we are an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. We don't break news here. I don't get your fascination with the Padres. Bummed your team missed out? – Muboshgu (talk) 16:09, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh man that rant by the Padres fan did *not* age well — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpjoyce10 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Can I add "San Francisco Giants (2023–present)" subsection on this article? According to MLB sources here and here, Correa reportedly agree to a 13-year megadeal with the Giants last week but yet to be signed. He doesn't have a jersey number for the Giants yet. -- Allen (talk / ctrb) 23:12, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * , please don't. Today's news is that a medical concern arose during the All-Star shortstop’s physical. Does that mean he has COVID and they need to delay a few days? Or is there a problem big enough to scuttle the deal? We just don't know. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:15, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Definitely a good move to delay. He's now with the Mets pending a physical. Given what's happened, nothing should be changed until that physical is complete. 173.56.118.46 (talk) 12:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. To everyone who has talked shit to me about waiting for a deal to become official every single off-season, especially that above IP who said "GET IT TOGETHER WIKIPEDIA": I told you so. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:06, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Is the deal with SF falling through significant enough to be included on the page as of now, or should it wait until the Mets’ press release? Amazingcowmilk (talk) 17:44, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd wait till the new deal is finalized and then put it all in when we have a further understanding of what happened. Spanneraol (talk) 18:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree. The SF agreement is part of the story. They had a press conference scheduled and everything. What we need to know is why the deal fell through. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:25, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * The updated sources from MLB here and here stated that Correa reportedly agree to a 12-year deal with the New York Mets, which we just learned today that he probably scrubbed a 13-year deal with the San Francisco Giants in disagreement. I'll say we will have to wait until the deal is finalized and official via press conference, then we will add "New York Mets (2023–present)" subsection on this article under the "Professional career" section. If the deal is official with the New York Mets, when you add this subsection on this article for the upcoming 2023 baseball season, can we also include the details about his previous deal to the Giants? -- Allen (talk / ctrb) 20:45, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Mets deal looks shaky now too. Maybe there should be a whole new page - “The repeated failed attempts at signing Carlos Correa in 2022” lol Bpjoyce10 (talk) 17:14, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

He isn't a free agent anymore. 2600:6C51:7B7F:D693:429:EF5A:C649:44FD (talk) 17:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * See above. Spanneraol (talk) 18:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Are you serious right now? Really? – Muboshgu (talk) 18:24, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Mets have concerns with Correa's physical. Shocking. Who would have thought a team's doctors might agree with another team's doctors? – Muboshgu (talk) 17:35, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Apparently his leg is in danger of falling off. Poor guy. Spanneraol (talk) 20:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

The free agent saga
Once this is all wrapped up and he's officially announced, we really need to add some material about this three-team free agent saga. It's a notable part of his career, and the sources that have covered its many twists and turns are generally reliable (The Athletic, New York Daily News, SF Chronicle), etc. The Giants' front office has even publicly commented on the collapse of the deal they had. I fully agree with the general content policy of not reporting on unofficial deals before they are announced, but I don't think that should extend to ignoring an important incident in a player's career just because it involved failed contract negotiations. As I said, I think the appropriate time to add that material is after he has signed a new deal. SS451 (talk) 17:41, 10 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Of course we will discuss what happened with the opt out, the Giants and Mets, and then circling back to the Twins. And if the deal falls through with the Twins, we'll cover that too. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:02, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

this free agency extravaganza is a good lesson (and it's not over yet)
Lots of people complaining about how he's "official" with the Giants/Mets, latest news has him signing with the Twins. Let's all just chill out and wait for official news. We are not a newspaper, and as has already been proven 2x, Passan/Heyman's tweets aren't always 100% accurate. Jayity (talk) 17:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree with your point generally, but per what I just posted, it's pretty clear that reporters who claimed there were deals in place pending physicals with first SF and then NYM were absolutely correct that such deals occurred; they just ultimately were not finalized because of the physicals. SS451 (talk) 17:52, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * This whole saga is a perfect example of why we don't update articles until after the physicals are agreed to and a contract is signed. Once he finally signs with someone (apparently back to the Twins now) and has a press conference we can and should write information from reliable sources describing the ordeal with the Giants and Mets as well. Since he appears to be staying with the same team we don't need a new section for it either. Spanneraol (talk) 17:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The free agency saga may need to be a subsection of his Twins section. If the deal with the Twins is even finalized. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:04, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
