Ashbury, they may be trying to let fans know they have the offer out there. They may start to pressure Boras and Correa and tell them they will take the offer off the table. There is no rumors anyone is offering more right now.

Sounds like Braves gave up #1 prospect Muller.

I think the Twins are putting out an offer that they think Correa is willing to sign. I think there is a possibility they are 25 to 30 million over the current market for Correa right now. Maybe I am wrong, but the Twins are currently the highest offer right now.

The Twins have a contract offer of 285 million for 10 years. This has been reported by a couple people. Based on that information, the Twins have the best offer currently on the table. The only interested party at this point that could be willing to outbid is the Giants. However if they were willing to outbid, I thought they would have done it by now. Boras has a history of going directly to the owners to try to increase the contract, I don't think that will work with the Twins. It could possibly work with the Giants or another team that were to get involved. I think the Twins feel comfortable waiting this out right now. I could see Correa signing a 4 to 6 year contract with opt outs and trying again, but it is fairly clear his past history is limiting the number of teams interested in him. He has stated he prefers a long term contract. When you knock out the Dodgers, Houston, Red Sox and Yankees, and the Padres are willing to get Bogaerts instead of you, that really limits the teams willing to spend big on you. Just think where he would be at if the Twins weren't willing to go big, 225-250mil maybe???

Dollander I have seen stated that he is the best pitching prospect in the last 10 years. Essentially Since 2019 there has been a dearth of pitching prospects, Both the 2019 and 2022 drafts were stated as some of the worst pitching drafts in decades, you had the covid draft of 2020 and 2021 wasn't much better. I could see teams going more pitching heavy in this draft due to the lack of elite quality of pitching in the previous drafts.

There are currently 2 pitchers that could be taken in the top 10. Possibly 4-5 in the top 20. Then another 5 -6 for the rest of the first round. There is much more pitching depth for 2023 than the last 2 years. Chase Dollander looks elite. Both him and Crews will likely go 1-2 Hursten Waldrep is currently the #8 prospect. He is an elite pitcher maybe not quite the command of Dollander.

Rumor: Judge staying with Yankees 9yr/$360

Giants have money to spend and want a superstar as well as the Cubs. I am not sure Correa is the Cubs #1 priority though. Right now I would say Correa most likely ends up with the Giants at this point. -
So I am more optimistic now than I was even a month ago a deal can come together. 1. Phillies are now out with Turner. 2. Even though the Dodgers have checked in neither them or the Yankees seem to be serious in pursuing Correa. 3. The Cubs have also checked on Correa but their main goal appears to be signing Bogaerts and Swanson. 4. The most willing to give the money to Correa is the Giants, but it is looking more and more likely that they get their #1 target in judge. 5. Will that leave the Twins as the only real serious offer for Correa? 300 million seems crazy high, but considering it all may be as good of deal for a superstar that the Twins could ever get. I apologize for the double post, tried to do one earlier and couldn't get to process. Created new account with this post and the previous post popped up.

So here is what I see so far on who is interested and the current landscape for shortstops. 1. I did not like seeing Turner go to Philly I was hoping Dodgers would resign and Philly would go with their prospect. 2. Dodgers and Yankees don't appear to be current suitors for Correa. That is interesting, but it appears 2017 is still tainting him to those 2 organizations. Dodgers have had contact with Correa, but so far doesn't appear to be serious. 3. The Cubs and Giants appear to be the biggest competition at this point. Correa is the backup plan if the Giants cannot sign Aaron Judge, but with Judge flying to California and not notifying the Yankees the scales are tipping to the Giants getting their #1 priority. 4. That likely leaves a Cubs and Twins showdown for Correa. It avoids multiple teams bidding on him, and gives a better possibility that he might take slightly less money to stay with his current team.
