Carlos Correa doesn't have to report to spring training for another month, but the reigning AL Rookie of the Year already is working on his swing.
In a blizzard.
The Houston Astros shortstop was in New York City for Saturday's Baseball Writers Association of America dinner, where he was scheduled to receive his rookie award. Unfortunately, that dinner was canceled because of the blizzard hitting the East Coast.
