It’s Saturday, November 12, 2022. Free agency has opened for MLB, and the early rumors suggest that the Chicago Cubs have an almost equal level of interest in Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, and Dansby Swanson. There’s a sense that these four comprise a top tier of available star shortstops, and that Jed Hoyer might let market factors determine which of them he acquires. I’m writing this to say that, in my opinion, that would be a calamitous way to conduct this offseason, and that the Cubs need to have one target when it comes to headlining their offseason. It has to be Correa.
