Carlos Correa continues to speak his mind as he enters free agency following seven years in Houston.

The two-time All-Star appeared on the Me Gustan Los Deportes podcast on Nov. 11, and former Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter came up in the discussion. Correa addressed Jeter's defense, noting "Derek Jeter didn't deserve any of the Golden Gloves he won," per Héctor Gómez, a Spanish-speaking MLB journalist in Puerto Rico.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman recently said that Correa's involvement in Houston's sign-stealing scandal won't be a factor in New York's pursuit of the shortstop in free agency, but one must wonder how this slight against Jeter will be received. Correa isn't earning any friends in the Bronx at the moment, though that could very well change in the coming weeks if Cashman looks past his criticism of the Yankees legend to get SI's top-ranked free agent in pinstripes for 2022 and beyond.



:mjlit:

I love it. Jeter only won his Gold Gloves because A-Rod, the better player offensively and defensively, was forced to move to third to satisfy his massive ego.

Jeter did this all the time so they assumed he was amazing defensively :manny:

He's absolutely right.

Jeter did not deserve a single Gold Glove.
Sure, Jeter made some great plays in his career. But he also didn't get to A LOT of balls that many other Shortstops DID get to. And that's a glaring weakness that doesn't always show up to the casual fan.

Derek Jeter is one of the best shortstops ever because of his bat.
He absolutely deserves his spot in Cooperstown.

But defensively he's arguably the worst of the great shortstops.

Correa is not wrong and he's definitely able to talk that shyt because he might go down as one of the best defensive SS and maybe 3B by the time he's done.

:lolbron: @ the end of the clip...dude told him, "Correa chill out because you like the pinstripes"
