The New York Yankees have done a really good job adding to the team since losing Juan Soto but there is still more work to be done.
Since Soto signed with the New York Mets, the Yankees have landed Devin Williams, Max Fried, Paul Goldschmidt, and Cody Bellinger. The Yankees have a chance to be really good in 2025, but they should still be looking to add some more talent.
Goldschmidt will hold down first base, but there still are some question marks about second and third base. Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play one of the roles. It wouldn’t hurt for New York to move Chisholm to second base and add someone to play third base.
One player who would be a trade acquisition is Minnesota Twins infielder Carlos Correa. The three-time All-Star has been a Yankees killer throughout his career so far. There have been some rumblings that the Twins could consider a trade involving him to trim payroll this offseason, although nothing has happened yet and there aren’t too many rumors.
While this is the case, a trade for Correa would be a fun idea for New York and could be the final piece it needs. Correa has spent his career at shortstop, but maybe the Yankees could move him to third base.
A deal is extremely unlikely, but a fun idea.
Here is a hypothetical trade for the Yankees to land Correa:
Yankees acquire: Infielder Carlos Correa
Twins acquire: Outfielder Jasson Domínguez (NYY No. 1 prospect), Infielder Oswald Peraza, right-handed pitcher Ben Hess (NYY No. 8 prospect), and right-handed pitcher Clayton Beeter (NYY No. 19 prospect)
This is just a hypothetical deal but it would land a bonafide superstar in New York for at least the next four years after he signed a six-year, $200 million deal. There are four vesting years beyond that as well. New York would have to give up a haul, including Domínguez, but the Yankees immediately would be considered the best team in the American League.
