He was traded to the Texas Rangers and spent the next season and a half in the Rangers starting rotation, making 47 starts and going 15-19 with a 5.10 ERA over that time. His best career start was a complete game shutout on May 2, 1986 against the New York Yankees he gave up just 3 hits, walked 5 and struck out 9. He had control issues throughout his career, giving up 189 walks in 282 2/3 innings over his career.
Ed was a Seventh-Day Adventist. The Texas Rangers would adjust their rotation to accommodate Correa's religious beliefs so that he would not have to pitch on the Sabbath.
Correa's brother, Ramser Correa, pitched in the Milwaukee Brewers chain.
After his playing career was over, Correa founded the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy and High School in Gurabo, PR.
