Carlos Correa

The lockout is over and the Cubs are again connected to All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa on the rumor mill.

The biggest question before Correa hired Boras was whether the Cubs would go to the top of the market for him, both in terms years or average annual value. The Cubs were linked to Correa before the lockout. MLB.com's Jon Morosi reported Friday the Cubs are "among the favorites" to sign free agent Carlos Correa with the market reopened.

The Astros will reengage with Carlos Correa, and the Cubs will be involved, too. The Tigers are likely out. Get details at MLB Trade Rumors.

Morosi indicates within his column that the Cubs are expected to be among the prominent players for Correa, as they already had plenty of dialogue with his camp prior to the lockout. The Stroman contract illustrates that this isn’t a Cubs team looking to completely tear down and tank for multiple years as it did in the run-up to 2016’s World Series crown, but there’s a pronounced difference between signing Stroman on a three-year term and shelling out the decade-long deal and $33MM+ annual salary that Correa is hoping to command. Free agency is back, and the still-unsigned Carlos Correa will return to the forefront of the market as he angles for a contract north of the 10-year, $325MM deal Corey Seager signed in Texas prior to the lockout. However, The Athletic’s Jim Bowden reports that Tigers owner Chris Ilitch is not comfortable with another contract of that magnitude hitting the books, which throws some cold water on the possibility of a Baez/Correa double-play tandem. There’s been some speculation that, in light of a sizable offer from the Tigers, perhaps Detroit could follow the Rangers’ lead and ultimately sign two of the market’s top shortstops this winter. The prior offer referenced by Crane was reported by Berman back in November to be five years and $160MM — a hefty sum but one that always felt well shy of where Correa’s eventual payday would land.

The Chicago Cubs have signed 4-time Gold Glove winner Andrelton Simmons to a one-year deal amid the Carlos Correa talks.

Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Cubs have signed four-time Gold Glover Andrelton Simmons to a one-year, $4 million deal. The 32-year-old spent 2021 with the Minnesota Twins, hitting .223 in 131 games. Amid the Chicago Cubs’ pursuit of free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa, they’ve actually made another move to give them a top-notch defender.

The Detroit Tigers are able to start signing players once again and Carlos Correa is likely off the table for the Tigers organization.

However, the Tigers are going to pass up on Correa and wind up building their competitor in more cost-efficient ways. It seems like the Tigers will fall short on those rumors due to the recent comments from ownership. The Detroit Tigers may not have been able to offer up free-agent contracts.

Former Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin believes that star free agent shortstop Carlos Correa would make a great fit for the Bronx.

It also doesn’t help that the Yankees might prefer to fill holes at first base and maybe go with cheaper option at shortstop.Correa was also a key member of the 2017 world champion Astros who illegally stole signs using an illicit video camera and was punished by Major League Baseball. This offseason, Correa disparaged Derek Jeter’s defense, saying that The Captain didn’t deserve to win a single Gold Glove.“I don’t know how my name was brought up, but it doesn’t even warrant a response,” Jeter said in a radio interview. Maybin played parts of 15 seasons in the majors.Could Correa have an even bigger impact on the Yankees?The 27-year-old undoubtedly has the tools to be one of the best players in the game, let alone best shortstops. He retired after last season and will be part of the YES Network broadcast booth for the 2022 season.

Correa won AL Rookie of the Year and quickly became a darling of the franchise. The couple married in 2019 and welcomed their first child in 2021. Drafted out of high school at just 17, Correa made his MLB debut with the Houston Astros in 2015.

The Major League Baseball lockout is officially over. Now that the free-agent window has been reopened, the rumor mill is off the hook.

He is going to sign for a lot of money too which makes it a bit more complicated. Correa is certainly bringing a significant amount of offense if he were to come. The Cubs are one of the favorites to land him which is really significant. The Cubs aren’t the only team in on him, unfortunately. It seemed like they were going to go for a rebuild but adding one of the best shortstops in the world doesn’t suggest that. They don’t seem to be going through a full rebuild right now which can be debated as a good move or a bad move.

A new report has revealed more details about what the Detroit Tigers offered free agent shortstop Carlos Correa before eventually signing Javier Baez.

Had Correa accepted the deal, it would have become one of the five largest free-agent contracts in MLB history. He said the Tigers gave Correa three separate opt-out clauses and included a provision that would give him a $10 bonus for finishing top five in MVP voting.

As free agency resumes, one major question remains unchanged from the initial market opening four months ago. Where will Carlos Correa sign?

They need a shortstop and are among the few teams that will be able to afford Correa.What about the Tigers?The Athletic’s Jim Bowden, a former MLB general manager, was the first but not the only one to float the idea that perhaps the Tigers are still smitten with Correa.The Rangers provide the precedent for such a move, signing both Seager and Marcus Semien for a combined half-billion dollars.But adding Correa would make the Baez signing a bit superfluous.

(AP Photo/David J. Phillip)APThe Detroit Tigers made a strong push for star shortstop Carlos Correa before the lockout, but ultimately settled for a suitable and far cheaper consolation prize.When Correa opted to wait for a better deal, the Tigers pivoted to Javier Baez, signing him to a six-year, $140 million contract just before the deadline. Moreover, there was an annual $10 million bonus for finishing in the top-five in MVP voting.So the deal could have given Correa, who finished fifth in MVP voting in 2021, the best of both worlds.After a couple of monster years, he could have collected the generous bonuses and then hit free agency again for another payday.On the other hand, if he struggled or was injured in 2022 or 2023, the contract would give him the security of a long-term deal and maybe even a later opt-out if he got things back on track.After a 99-day lockout, Correa remains a premier free agent, but it’s unclear how the league’s rush to assemble rosters for an abbreviated spring training will affect his market.

Carlos Correa is the best available shortstop on the free-agent market. He and Trevor Story have been linked to the New York Yankees.

The Cubs were one of the teams with the most dialogue with Carlos Correa before the lockout.

That doesn’t mean it would be any more or less difficult to sign Correa, mind you, only that the previous dialogues weren’t with Correa’s current agency. The Cubs have the payroll flexibility to add a significant multiyear contract. It’s still highly unlikely that the Cubs go to the level necessary to land Correa.

The Tigers' baseball people would love to circle back and acquire Correa to play alongside Báez, but owner Chris Ilitch doesn't want another contract of that ...

If the owner wants to take another shot at re-signing one of his best players, that can’t be ignored. Shortstop is an issue and the center fielder. But if the owner is not on board, it’s not going to happen. But for a while now, rumors have persisted about the Tigers circling back to Correa, perhaps because, well, it sounds like their front office actually would like another crack at him. So the Tigers pivoted to Javy Báez, who signed in November and theoretically shut the door on Correa. Let’s start with the Cubs. On ESPN, Buster Olney added to the chorus of pundits attaching Correa to Chicago, saying “watch the Chicago Cubs for Correa” after much more lightly mentioning the Tigers and Astros as possibilities.

Carlos Correa, arguably the top free agent on the market, sent a clear message to Houston Astros fans on Friday afternoon -- he's selling in house.

After losing piece after piece from their 2017 World Series team, Correa was the heart and soul of a group that held on in spite of sign-stealing allegations (since proven) against them. Chicago has the payroll flexibility to land a player of Correa’s stature. The Astros, due to their familiarity with Correa, cannot be eliminated until the 2017 World Series winner puts pen to paper.

MLB star Carlos Correa is selling his Houston mansion just days away from his official departure from the Astros.

The Yankees are interested in Carlos Correa, but the Chicago Cubs may actually be the favorites to land the talented shortstop.

Another potential flaw in the Correa-to-the-Yankees plan is that they will have competition for his services. The thing is that Volpe is not yet ready for the majors, and Peraza may need to prove himself at Triple-A, too. Second, they have a solid fallback option in Trevor Story who could be cheaper and similarly talented.

Major League Baseball's owner-imposed lockout has finally come to an end, 99 days after it was first instituted. It's a joyous day for baseball fans, ...

New coaches can begin to develop relationships, new players can meet their new teammates, the works. The deadline for teams to tender their arbitration-eligible (and pre-arbitration-eligible) players a contract for 2022. The player files what he believes he should be paid, and the team files what they believe the player should be paid. Teams want protection in case a player they left exposed in the Rule 5 Draft comes to camp with a new slider or a swing change, and makes himself into a more desirable Rule 5 Draft target. Teams will be looking at possible Rule 5 Draft picks and negotiating arbitration salaries while also scouring the trade market and free agency. Inevitably, a few surprise injuries will be dropped on teams when they reconnect with players, and that could impact their free agent and trade decisions. Inevitably, some will have to wait into the season to sign. The Rule 5 Draft is a mechanism to prevent teams from burying players in the minors indefinitely. The Dodgers need a starter. Each offseason the Rule 5 Draft is held on the final day of the Winter Meetings. This offseason that was Dec. 9, a week after MLB locked out the players, so the Rule 5 Draft never happened. Or, now that minor-league camps are opening, an unprotected player could arrive in spring training and show enough improvement to captivate opposing teams, making himself a Rule 5 target in March even though he might have been barely on any club's radar in December. Executives fear a club would be unfairly penalized if it lost a player while operating under a different set of assumptions than it did at the time of its original decision. Otherwise the COVID policy figures to look a lot like last year's. The two sides just have to shake on it.

Carlos Correa basically confirmed his Houston Astros exit by selling his $1.6 million mansion in the city....

But, Chicago is still expected to be in the mix for Correa. There is no doubt Astros fans would’ve been clinging on to the hope that Correa could remain with the organization after so many years of brilliance. The Bronx Bombers have a gaping hole at shortstop, although their top prospect, Anthony Volpe, profiles to be the future at the position.
