Now, in Sportsnet\u2019s bold MLB prediction article for 2025, David Singh predicts New York will trade for Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarlos Correa will be traded to \u2026\u00a0\u2026 the\u00a0New York Yankees. The star shortstop will be fully healthy during the first half of the campaign and that will lead the way to the Minnesota Twins dealing him to the Yankees, who\u2019ll need infield help,\u201d the article read. \u201cThe distaste Yankees fans have for Correa stemming from his time on the sign-stealing Houston Astros will be heard when the three-time all-star arrives in the Bronx. However, the boos will quickly disappear as Correa injects a dose of star power into the Yankees lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acquiring Correa would immediately bolster the Yankees\u2019 lineup as Singh writes. However, it likely would cost a lot to acquire the superstar shortstop.<\/p>\n<p>Correa is in the third year of his six-year $200 million deal with the Twins. The shortstop was a key member of the 2017 Houston Astros team that won the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>With the Twins in 2024, Correa hit .310 with 14 home runs and 54 RBIs in 86 games as he battled injuries.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Twins Have Received Trade Interest in Correa<\/h2>\n<p>Minnesota has received trade interest in Correa this offseason as the Twins could move the star shortstop.<\/p>\n<p>According to MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Twins have received trade interest in Correa<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing the Twins\u2019 financial situation \u2014 player payroll will remain around $130 million as the Pohlad family explores a sale \u2014 teams have inquired on Carlos Correa\u2019s availability. Correa, who holds a no-trade clause, will make $36 million next year. There is no indication anything has advanced beyond a preliminary phone call,\u201d Nightengale wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Nightengale, meanwhile, says if Correa doesn\u2019t get traded the Twins believe he is fully healthy and will have a big 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s early in the offseason, but the Twins are encouraged by the health of their players, too. Correa told head trainer Nick Paparesta he\u2019s ahead of last year recovering from plantar fasciitis. Joe Ryan is expected to be ready for the start of spring training and the Twins don\u2019t anticipate any issues from Wallner\u2019s oblique injury at the end of the season,\u201d Nightengale added.<\/p>\n<p>Correa is a three-time MLB All-Star.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees GM Focused on Building Best Team<\/h2>\n<p>Despite New York losing Soto in free agency, the Yankees have had a good offseason.<\/p>\n<p>After losing out on Soto, Cashman says he immediately pivoted as he says the goal is to create the best team possible every year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy job is to find a way to make us as quality as we can year in and year out,\u201d Cashman\u00a0said. \u201cWe\u2019ll vet every opportunity out there. He\u2019s been a thorn in our side for years, along with other people\u2019s sides. He\u2019s now into free agency. I\u2019m sure he\u2019s got a boatload of choices. Players like him make a lot of money. I have had a conversation or two with Scott Boras. I certainly respect the player and his ability and how much winning he\u2019s been a part of. But, that\u2019s as far as I\u2019ll say at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees haven\u2019t won the World Series since 2009.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
