The Yankees lost Juan Soto in free agency but added Max Fried, Devin Williams, Cody Bellinger, and Paul Goldschmidt this offseason. Now, in Sports-net’s bold MLB prediction article for 2025, David Singh predicts New York will trade for Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins.
“Carlos Correa will be traded to … … the New York Yankees. The star shortstop will be fully healthy during the first half of the campaign and that will lead the way to the Minnesota Twins dealing him to the Yankees, who’ll need infield help,” the article read. “The distaste Yankees fans have for Correa stemming from his time on the sign-stealing Houston Astros will be heard when the three-time all-star arrives in the Bronx. However, the boos will quickly disappear as Correa injects a dose of star power into the Yankees lineup.”
Acquiring Correa would immediately bolster the Yankees’ lineup as Singh writes. However, it likely would cost a lot to acquire the superstar shortstop.
Correa is in the third year of his six-year $200 million deal with the Twins. The shortstop was a key member of the 2017 Houston Astros team that won the World Series.
With the Twins in 2024, Correa hit .310 with 14 home runs and 54 RBIs in 86 games as he battled injuries.
