The Cubs talked to All-Star shortstop Carlos Correa as a free agent last winter but didn’t get far in talks and no offer was made, Correa told NBC Sports Chicago.
But the contact between him and the Cubs went nowhere — certainly nowhere near that seven-year mega-money offer that a few specious reports suggested and that team president Hoyer eventually denied.
But if anybody around here thinks the upcoming offseason offers a likelier chance for the Cubs to make Correa a centerpiece of their future, they might want to think again. That doesn’t mean they can’t choose to move Hoerner off short and go after the complete-package All-Star in Correa anyway.
