Rumor: Judge staying with Yankees 9yr/$360
Hawkeye Bean Counter replied to Original_JB's topic in Other Baseball
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.
