Carlos Correa is struggling at the plate this season and says he understands why fans are frustrated.

Correa went 0-for-5 -- dropping his batting average to .185 -- and stranded six runners on base in the Minnesota Twins' 6-1 loss to the San Diego Padres.

"I'd boo myself too with the amount of money I'm making, if I'm playing like that," said Correa, who signed a six-year, $200 million contract with the Twins on Jan. 11.

"Obviously, (the boos are) acceptable. It's part of the game, part of sports," he said. "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. But at the same time, the work doesn't stop. I'm going to keep working and keep focusing on the things I can control, and the results will come."
