AL Cy Young frontrunner Robbie Ray probably belongs in the mix…

I doubt the Yankees sign Correa. Every article I have read said they are looking for a cheap, short term option at SS to get to Volpe in a year or two.

NY Yankees need another bat to get on base for Judge, Stanton, Voit, etc to drive them in.

I think Yankees make a move to get Nick Castellenos with that .309 average this year or they look for speed and go for Trevor Story.

In early March, amidst completely deadlocked CBA negotiations, Fanatics will simultaneously announce that they have purchased Bally Sports and signed all 12 of those players to exclusive contracts. The players will be rented back to the specific team which in turn sells the most subscriptions to game view packages @ $24.95 per game. Fans will be able to select their own roster at last, simply by voting with their credit card in the new Fanatics Fan Favorite Freedom program. Sorry, no refunds.

What would the Marlins do with a high priced closer? Maybe a two year deal where they can trade him for assets in year 2… but still hard to see the Marlins making that move. Most RPs are cheap and interchangeable. We need someone to replace Starlin Marte. We need that type of player. Maybe we can replace him with Starlin Marte himself since he’s a free agent!

1) Freddie Freeman -
2) Anthony Rizzo - Although I'd like to see Rizzo back in blue, probably won't happen because of Schwindel's performance.
3) Marcus Semien
4) Corey Seager
5) Carlos Correa
6) Trevor Story - Cubs are a predictable team but I think they'll spend the money on pitching and ride Wisdom/Bote platoon for a year to save money.
7) Nick Castellanos - Back to the Cubs
8) Kris Bryant - I could see him back with the Cubs but unlikely. Stays in SF
9) Max Scherzer
10) Justin Verlander - Cubs
11) Kenley Jansen
12) Raisel Iglesias

I could actually see Ketel Marte coming to the Marlins, but I highly doubt we would open the checkbook for Correa when we want to put Jazz back in his natural SS position. Detroit seems to want Correa, and I doubt we can match any offer they would make.

I hadn’t heard that about the Tigers’ interest. I was thinking more that Jeter might despise former Astros and steer away. But then maybe he also wants a cornerstone shortstop. If Jazz is that guy, then never mind on Correa—and then Ketel could slot in at 2B if not CF.

I think Semien goes to the White Sox.

Reinsdorf is gonna open up the checkbook to bring back a guy they originally drafted but traded away well before he got good.

At least that's what all my White Sox fan friends are hoping for after yesterday.
