With DET and TEX recent signings, what does that leave for a potential landing spot for Correa & Story?
HOU NYY - Correa has been vocal against NYY but enough money could change that NYM - Recent spending splurge likely takes them out but never know BOS - Hinted at being involved in middle infielder market PHI

They have the money they're not paying Scherzer. They could easily afford Story and they could very well be the team that makes the big splash on Correa.

Feeling blessed that I don't have to talk myself into getting excited about Javier Baez on a team friendly contract.

With the Tigers out of the picture and Seager off the board, does anyone really think Correa *won't* end up with the Yankees?

Yes considering they're floating out there that they're looking to trade at Short Stop to fill in until their prospects are ready. Yes, as with every single time that there's a top-tier free agent that is an obvious fit for them: they do the whole "ehh, we don't really need him" dance - before signing the top-tier free agent to some record-setting deal.
If they're reeeally confident in Volpe or whatever, maybe they pass on Correa, but it would surprise me at this point.

A wild card in all of this is the Mets and Cohen (Steinbrenner redux). He's grabbing headlines and burning through dollars like they're notgeld. How long will Hank S and Randy Levine stand by and watch Cohen do this? The NYY and other NY franchises have viewed sports spending as part of the admittedly enormous NYC entertainment spectrum, and particularly with MLB going dark for an indefinite period, Cashman will have to come out primed to spend the NYY back into the limelight.
(PS: If we dislike the NYY, wait till we get a season's exposure to Cohen and the Mets.)

Boras would love to keep the Yankees, baseball’s historically greatest spender, in the mix for his two biggest clients, Seager and Marcus Semien. But sources have told The News that the Yankees don’t want to commit that much money to a shortstop. With rising shortstop prospects Anthony Volpe (a 20-year-old who just tore up High-A) and Oswald Peraza (who dominated every level of the minors before reaching Triple-A last year) being groomed to eventually take over the position, the Yankees are expected to turn their attention elsewhere. Sources have indicated that when it comes to Correa in particular, he will not settle for anything less than the $341 million figure that Francisco Lindor got from the Mets. Using that as a benchmark, the Yankees are expected to be out. Hal Steinbrenner already doled out a $324 million deal to Gerrit Cole and is on the hook for at least six more years of Giancarlo Stanton’s monstrous contract, not to mention however much money they may offer Aaron Judge to sign a long-term pact." Yeah it seems to me the Yankees aren't really posturing here. I genuinely feel they're out on Correa at that asking price.

The Yankees seem like a real strong threat for Freddie Freeman if the Braves don't offer that 6th year to retain him.

Also from that article: Well Marte and all the top starting pitchers are now off the board. Maybe the big Yankees move of the offseason will be to add Danny Duffy or Odubel Herrera but I wouldn't count on it.

Cohen did overpay for Marte. Nothing Yankees could do there.

Anyone here think Correa would take $40M per year on a 3-year deal? Anyone think the Sox would do that?

Anyone here think Correa would take $40M per year on a 3-year deal? Anyone think the Sox would do that? Only if that's the term of an opt out. Say the Sox offer 12 years 420 million which is 35 million/year and say its structured so that the first 3 years are worth 40 million/year and the remaining 9 years are worth 300 million which comes out to 33.33 million/year for the remainder of the term. If Correa does well he might opt out, so that's where your 3 year 120 million idea could be realistic, because he's getting his huge dollars whether he ops out or not. He's not going to take a short term deal like that when he can work it into a long term deal and still have the flexibility of opting out for that kind of short term money if he thinks he can beat the rest of the term of the long term deal.

Wouldnt shock me to see the Yankees grab him but I think the Dodgers are more likely to sign him. I would love to see him go to LAD, just so I could ask my neighbor (big Dodgers fan) what he thinks of having to root for him for the next 6-8 years.
