Overview
- In a new MLB.com interview during Spring Training, Correa recounted nearly drowning last summer on Lake Minnetonka while carrying his 3-year-old son.
- He was not wearing a life jacket, his son was, and severe leg cramps left him clinging to a buoy where he injured his hand on the chain.
- Correa says his father-in-law swam from the boat and tossed a life jacket that he snagged with a pinkie to stay afloat.
- He first shared the story publicly in December at a Houston retirement home and has since organized a Saturday Bible study at his house that grew from about eight people to roughly 60.
- The episode preceded his return to Houston by about two weeks through a trade from the Twins, and he plans to continue faith-centered gatherings during the season.
