Twins fans, Carlos Correa has heard your concerns—and he agrees with them.
The star shortstop is off to a miserable start to the 2023 season, posting an abysmal .185/.261/.363 slash line through the team’s first 36 games. Following an 0-for-5 performance in Tuesday’s 6–1 loss to the Padres, Correa was asked after the game what he thought of getting booed by the home fans, and gave an honest response to what he feels is a perfectly reasonable stance by Twins supporters.
“I’d boo myself too with the amount of money I’m making if I’m playing like that and I’m in the stands,” Correa said, per The Athletic’s Aaron Gleeman. “Obviously [the booing] is acceptable. It’s part of the game, part of sports. Fans want production and fans want a team that’s going to compete out there and win games. It’s to be expected when you play poorly.”
