The waiting is the hardest part.
Brian Cashman isn’t done wheeling and dealing as the New York Yankees general manager looks to spend more of owner Hal Steinbrenner’s money.
In fact, the Yankees, fresh off their record-setting nine-year, $360 million contract with outfielder Aaron Judge, might have been ready to strike again.

Per 95.7 The Game in the Bay Area:
“The team I’m watching at the moment — the Yankees. Because I’m definitely picking up a lot of vibes there that yeah they signed Aaron Judge to that $360 million deal, but they’re working on something big.” – @Buster_ESPN Mr Carlos Correa.
The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports the “Giants, Twins, Cubs are among teams in on Carlos Correa, who has the advantages of being a little younger than (Xander) Bogaerts and (Trea) Turner and also having no qualifying offer.”

Whoever signs Correa will have quite the bill to pay. The Philadelphia Phillies gave Trea Turner an 11-year, $300 million contract while the San Diego Padres signed Xander Bogaerts to an 11-year, $280 million contract.
Correa and Dansby Swanson remain the best shortstops on the open market following the MLB Winter Meetings in San Diego, Calif.
