Cubs Rumors: Carlos Correa Meeting Held Monday; CHC Could Sign 2 Star Shortstops

According to a report, the Chicago Cubs are looking for a new infielder.

According to Bruce Levine of 670 The Score, the North Siders met with Carlos Correa on Monday. The news was confirmed by Jon Morosi.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Chicago has been interested in Correa for a long time. Nightengale pointed out that the Cubs want to add a middle infielder, and that the team's top priority is Boston's XanderBogaerts.

The Cubs are a possible landing spot for Dansby.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Cubs could potentially sign two of the three star infielders remaining on the market, with Boston's Brock Holt and Atlanta's Dansby Swanson as the likely combination.

In this scenario, the Cubs would be taking a page out of the Rangers' book from last offseason, when Texas signed both Corey Seager and Marcus Semien. Signing both Bogaerts and Swanson would likely hinge upon convincing Bogaerts to move to third base.

The Philadelphia Phillies agreed to an 11-year, $300 million deal with outfielder Trea Turner, according to reports.

It's possible that sets the market, but it's also possible that Correa is the better player.

The former Houston Astros and Twins star is in the middle of his prime at 28 years old and has a resume that includes a World Series crown, rookies of the year and two All-Star selections.

Correa slashed.............. ............. It's still a good number, even though it's a drop off from the 20 DRS he posted in 2021.

It would allow the team to maximize the defense up the middle of the diamond if he was moved to second base.

The Cubs missed the playoffs the last two seasons and could be in line for a new face. Despite winning a World Series title in 2016 and going to three straight National League Championship Series, the Chicago Cubs have taken a step back in recent years.

The front office has said that they plan to build a contender and raise their payroll.
