Bad Bunny's Offer for Correa & Lindor Blocked

Carlos Correa's participation in the World Baseball Classic was blocked, primarily because his injury history made obtaining insurance unfeasible. This situation prompted music superstar Bad Bunny to offer financial backing for both Correa and Francisco Lindor, enabling them to represent Puerto Rico. Unfortunately, the timeline for processing this unique arrangement expired before it could be finalized.

Correa explained that his agent, the league, and his team advised against accepting funds from an unvetted provider. He cited a distrust of the proposed insurance company due to past issues with player payouts. Consequently, Correa felt obligated to adhere to the advice of trusted parties and team regulations.

Despite the setback, Correa expressed deep gratitude to Bad Bunny for his significant efforts and commitment to helping players represent their country. Correa acknowledged that while he was disappointed to miss the event, especially the chance to share it with his children, he understood the necessity of following team rules and directives regarding insurance and participation.
