Yankees Predicted To Swing Blockbuster Trade For $200 Million Former Rival

The New York Yankees acquired Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger on Tuesday night. Bellinger slots right into the middle of the lineup while playing center field. FanSided’s Chris Landers put together a “dream lineup” for the Yankees shortly after they swung the blockbuster trade for Bellinger. One of the shocking additions to the lineup was Minnesota Twins infielder Carlos Correa. Correa is currently in Year 3 of a potential 10-year deal.

“That sound you hear is the collective groan of Yankees fans at the prospect of Correa, a long-time nemesis with the Houston Astros, wearing pinstripes. But we know the Minnesota Twins are shopping him as they look to shed payroll this winter, and there simply aren’t a ton of other compelling infield options available right now,” Landers wrote. “Correa was a force at the plate last season, posting a 155 OPS+, and his durability concerns are a bit overblown (he’s played at least 135 games in three of the last four years).”

This is an idea that may not have been pitched just yet. Correa is attached to a massive deal and there’s exactly a zero percent chance the Yankees take a deal for Correa without the Twins paying off a huge portion of his deal.

If he wasn’t attached to such a massive deal, this could make a little bit more sense. But, there’s also the fact that Correa and the Yankees have quite a bitter history dating back to the Houston Astros’ sign stealing days. Correa was a major piece of those teams.

Is this an intriguing option? Yes, absolutely. Is this a realistic option? No, I would say it’s not.
