How long before a fan base can truly let bygones be bygones?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a recent edition of the \u201cJust Baseball Show\u201d podcast, Peter Appel and co-hosts Jack McMullen and Aram Leighton were discussing trades involving superstars.<\/p>\n

Spurred by the recent Rafael Devers blockbuster, the MLB analysts were opining about other big-name players who could potentially switch teams, and Appel had a thought about someone who could fill a need for the Los Angeles Dodgers: Carlos Correa.<\/p>\n

\u201cCould Correa be a player that the Dodgers at least call [about]?\u201d Appel wondered. \u201cNow, I don\u2019t know if the Twins would do it, I don\u2019t know what a package would look like, but if the Twins start to falter a little bit, that\u2019s a dude.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Acquiring Carlos Correa Could Allow Dodgers to Put Mookie Betts in Outfield<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the surface, Appel\u2019s suggestion has merit.<\/p>\n

Mookie Betts has been playing shortstop for the Dodgers, but acquiring Correa would allow manager Dave Roberts to move Betts back into the outfield to replace Michael Conforto, who has struggled mightily this season.<\/p>\n

And while the 30-year-old Correa has underwhelmed this season, slashing .257\/.302\/.378 through 66 games, he is a three-time All-Star with a lot of postseason success in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou bring him to LA with his postseason and pedigree to compete with the Giants who just brought over Devers? Oh no,\u201d Appel exclaimed.<\/p>\n

Funny, because \u201coh no\u201d might be the reaction of some Dodgers fans if the team were to make a trade for Correa.<\/p>\n

As McMullen reminded Appel, Correa was a key cog in the Houston Astros team that beat Los Angeles in the 2017 World Series.<\/p>\n

It would become a tainted win for the Astros after allegations of sign stealing, with penalties levied against several members of the organization, and Correa, who remained \u201cdefiantly unrepentant\u201d and angry in attempting to defend himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Yankee fan base and the Dodger fan base hate Correa because he sunk his teeth into this,\u201d McMullen stressed.<\/p>\n

Dodgers Fans Held Grudge Against Carlos Correa for 2017 World Series<\/strong><\/p>\n

But have the wounds not healed? The Dodgers went on to win two World Series titles in the years since Correa and the Astros captured the trophy, and Appel said he believes it would all be water under the bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Dodger fans will be like, \u2018It\u2019s been so long, if you can come over and help us, we don\u2019t care,\u2019\u201d Appel said. \u201cAnd when he comes over, he will help them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, that\u2019s \u201cif\u201d he comes over, and there\u2019s no telling how the Twins plan to approach this trade deadline.<\/p>\n

At 37-41 overall, Minnesota is 11.5 games behind Detroit for first place in the AL Central division, but only 3.5 games out of the third and final wild card spot.<\/p>\n

However, there are five other teams between the Twins and that spot, with FanGraphs giving them a 27.9% chance to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n

And Minnesota would certainly love to take at least part of Correa\u2019s contract off their books.<\/p>\n

With Correa owed a little over $128 million over the next 3.5 years, the Dodgers could negotiate some cash to offset the salary, depending on the quality of the players in return.<\/p>\n

Or if a lower-tier prospect is involved, Los Angeles could absorb much of what Correa is due to earn.<\/p>\n

As long as the fans are willing to accept him into the fold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
