Los Angeles Dodgers fans still aren’t over\u00a0the 2017 World Series, and they probably never will be.<\/p>\n
Even though the Dodgers have captured a\u00a0pair of World Series victories\u00a0in the years since, the trash can-banging Houston Astros cheating their way to to a title in 2017 will continue to live rent-free in their heads.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, the thought of one of said trash can bangers playing for the Dodgers just a few short years later is practically unthinkable \u2013 and yet, that’s exactly what Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer has proposed in his recent column about buy-low stars on the MLB trade market.<\/p>\n
Rymer joins several other MLB insiders in pondering the trade candidacy of Minnesota Twins shortstop (and 2017 World Series champion with the Houston Astros) Carlos Correa this offseason.<\/p>\n
Correa signed a\u00a0six-year, $200 million contract\u00a0with Minnesota in 2022, but with the Twins recently being put up for sale, it seems plausible that they might want to dump his hefty salary off the books.<\/p>\n
Correa’s contract does, however, have a full no-trade clause, meaning he is in complete control of his own destiny. For this reason, it’s likely that he would reject any trade proposal that would send him to a non-contender. Enter: the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
In Rymer’s proposed trade, the Twins would send Correa to the Dodgers in exchange for a pair of right-handed pitchers in Bobby Miller and Edgardo Henriquez (Los Angeles’ No. 10 prospect).<\/p>\n
On one hand, it makes sense \u2013 the Dodgers’ shortstop situation is in flux, and Mookie Betts doesn’t seem like the best long-term solution there.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Rymer suggests a revolving door of characters at shortstop in Los Angeles, including Correa, Betts, Tommy Edman and Miguel Rojas. If he didn’t lose Dodgers fans at the first mention of Correa, he’s certainly lost them now.<\/p>\n
Yes, the Dodgers have repeatedly shown that money is no issue, but spending $33 million a year (and giving up a top-10 pitching prospect) for a part-time shortstop would be ludicrous.<\/p>\n
The Dodgers would pass on this trade faster than Correa could tip pitches to his teammates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
