Houston’s Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa won’t play in the World Baseball Classic after both failed to get insurance on their contracts for the tournament. The Athletic reported Tuesday that both players will miss the event, which runs from March 5-17, because they couldn’t get insurance to protect their contracts in the event of injuries. Correa, who will make $31 million this season, was expected to play for Puerto Rico and Altuve, who will make $33 million in 2026, was hoping to suit up for Venezuela.
