Carlos Correa

[NOMAAM]

I understand the contract would put the brewers out of acquiring him.  Also the injury history is troubling as well.  Any way it would be possible though?  Think he’s guaranteed 137 million still.  If the brewers could do a Rockies Arrendo to Cardinals type deal.  Get them to throw in 50 to 60 million and more if vesting options hit.   Send them Hoskins and some ok prospects. They send Correa and 50 to 75 million over contract life.

Carlos Correa was awesome last year when healthy. The Twins won't have any trouble finding another team to take all, or nearly all of the contract. The Yankees come to mind. Or Houston, if they don't sign Bregman, or a number of other teams.

Too bad Nolan Arenado is in the division.  After seeing these contracts he wouldn’t be horrible.  Even if he is declining some.

I think the Brewers would be silly not to look into it based on divisional rivalry -- and I don't often say that, particularly with the hated Cardinals. But I just don't think the Cardinals are going to get a good prospect from anyone, unless they take on most of the salary, and even then.

I don't think the Brewers are desperate, but I sure am getting there every time I remember Willy hit 30 bombs last season.

Arenado was a league-average hitter, and still a positive on defense. The Brewers are dying for that profile.

Don’t think he’d approve a trade to Milwaukee.  I’d say Hoskins and prospect.  Has 3 yrs and 74 million left on deal.  Get rid of Hoskins makes it 56 million.  The only alarming thing about Nolan was his dip in slugging fell under 400.

but as I said don’t think it matters.  Won’t play in Milwaukee.  I’m thinking he goes to Philly for nothing.

don't see the Cards doing a trade but the Crew does need a bat to replace Willy

My guess is that there would be 4 or 5 teams willing to take on all of Correa's contract and I doubt that we can compete with a team that would do that if we need the Twins to pay 10+ million a year.
