Sports Illustrated | Joe Nelson: The Yankees made a huge splashing signing Aaron Judge to a record-breaking free agent deal, and it appears their work isn’t finished. Buster Olney speculates that the Yankees are emerging as a possible landing spot for Carlos Correa, and that the start shortstop could command upwards of a $400 million contract.
It would be an abrupt about-face from a franchise that has to this point held steadfastly to their stopgap scheme at short while waiting for Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe to arrive. It would also give the Yankees three players earning a combined $116 million per season — erasing any illusion of being able to reset their tax offender status every three years — but would also represent the type of all-in move than fans have been craving.
