Correa Over Volpe? People Are Actually Talking About This

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


So, word on the street is the Minnesota Twins might be willing to part ways with Carlos Correa, their big fish. And wouldn’t you know it, the folks over at Fireside Yankees podcast are ready to throw a parade to welcome Correa to the Bronx. I kid, I kid.

Their hot take? “Should the Yankees try to swing a trade for star infielder Carlos Correa this offseason? The financial hurdle and prospect haul could be a ton, but this move would cement the Yankees as legitimate World Series contenders,” they chirped on Twitter.

Look, Fireside Yankees, I admire the audacity. It takes a certain kind of courage to suggest the Yankees should work out a deal and pay top dollar for a guy who was basically the Astros’ poster boy for the Great Garbage Can Caper of 2017. But in my opinion, let’s pump the brakes.

First of all, we already have a shortstop. His name is Anthony Volpe, and he’s not just any shortstop—he’s a homegrown, Gold Glove-winning rookie who fans like. You don’t bench that guy, you grow him. You don’t move him to second base. And you definitely don’t bring in a guy like Correa, who’d be carrying more baggage into the clubhouse than Judge carries runners across home plate. Obviously people have their opinions, and I have mine.

Correa isn’t just expensive—he’s four years, $200 million expensive. That’s the kind of money you drop on an MVP bat, not a guy who might spend his first month in pinstripes dodging boos louder than the subway at rush hour. Sure, he’s talented, but we’ve got bigger fish to fry.

Oh, and let’s not forget Cody Bellinger. Our newest addition is a man on a mission—and that mission is to keep the Astros as far away from his team as possible. Bellinger’s dislike for Houston is so well-documented, he could trademark it, read  REMEMBERING WHEN CODY BELLINGER WENT HARD ON THE ASTROS! You think he’d be thrilled to see Correa waltz into the clubhouse like nothing happened? Hard pass. We’re not just building a lineup here; we’re building chemistry.
But the Correa dream doesn’t end with Fireside Yankees. FanSided’s Chris Landers also threw him into a hypothetical “dream lineup” for the Yankees, and I have questions. Did we run out of other players to fantasize about? Was everyone else unavailable? Because this feels like suggesting pineapple on a pizza—it’s bold, but it’s also unnecessary, and it’s probably going to start a fight.

Landers even acknowledged the “collective groan” Yankees fans would unleash if Correa became a Yankee. Newsflash: if you know the fans would hate it, maybe don’t do it. We’re already dealing with enough BS.

So, here’s the deal: the Yankees don’t need Correa. We have Anthony Volpe. That’s the story Yankees fans love. That’s what we want to root for.

If the Twins are looking to shed payroll, great for them. Maybe they can send Correa somewhere where his baggage won’t take up a whole locker room. Thanks, but no thanks. Fireside Yankees, we love your passion but maybe let’s aim that energy at something we actually need—like figuring out how to win a championship without trolling the Astros’ garage sale.

    Volpe is mediocre but Correa would be another huge mistake.
