Among a dozen executives and league insiders, the New York Yankees are a popular choice to secure the services of two-time All-Star Carlos Correa in MLB free agency.
Outside of a bad final month of the season, the Yankees had a great year in 2022. They won the American League East again, and they reached the AL Championship Series. However, coming up short in the postseason once again to the Houston Astros is a clear sign the team is still a piece or two away from getting the franchise’s 28th championship.
The biggest story for the Yanks this offseason is making sure they re-sign homegrown superstar Aaron Judge. He is the biggest talent on the market, and they will need to compete with several powerhouse organizations to sign the AL MVP to what will likely be a historic contract.
However, while they work to bring back Judge, they have been linked to several other notable MLB free agents, including AL Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander and Japanese ace Kodai Senga. One player they haven’t been connected with much this offseason is Correa. However, insiders around the league believe that could change soon.
