It just had to happen this way, didn’t it? The Dodgers get linked to Carlos Correa all offseason long, just for Ken Rosenthal to report that fans don’t want him because of his ties to the 2017 Astros. Then, in perfect Hollywood fashion, the villain becomes the…even bigger villain, and signs with the Dodgers’ biggest and most storied rival, the San Francisco Giants.
Well, the NL West will be fun now, won’t it? Three teams full of All-Stars battling it out for the next five or so years — and I say five because neither Correa’s contract nor that Xander Boagaerts deal with the Padres will age very well.
