MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams and Anthony Franco The Detroit Tigers ended up signing shortstop Javier Báez to a six-year, $140 million deal before the lockout. However, they apparently had their sights in one of the Yankees’ primary targets this offseason, Carlos Correa.
ESPN’s Buster Olney revealed that the Tigers approached Correa’s agents with a 10-year, $275MM offer at one point in the past few weeks, presumably before committing to Báez as their franchise shortstop. Correa has made it clear that he wants at least $300 million, and some say he’d like to be paid like Francisco Lindor ($341MM over ten years).
