With Carlos Correa off the board, Dansby Swanson is the last of the big-name free-agent shortstops still available, with several teams still looking for their next shortstop. This puts Swanson in the enviable position of being able to command the best offer possible.
Even before Correa signed, Swanson’s market was starting to develop and heat up.
The Giants are presumably out on Swanson now that they have Correa — they’re not the Padres, after all, so they don’t need a thousand shortstops — but that still leaves the Dodgers, Twins, Cubs, Red Sox, and Braves among his suitors.
