It seems to be a given among many Cubs fans, as well as sports pundits, that the Cubs will go after one of the big-name shortstops expected to be on the market this offseason.
True, the Cubs already have a shortstop, and a good one, in Nico Hoerner. But Hoerner could, and surely would, make an easy transition to second base if the Cubs sign a FA to play shortstop.
Carlos Correa is one of the names being named as a possibility for the Cubs to sign. Last week, Correa told a Spanish-language paper that he was opting out of his Twins contract and would become a free agent.
