Signing Corey Seager, the Yankees’ other clear preference at short, only to move him to third base to accommodate someone we haven’t met yet, is much less clean.
In terms of how plainly “unafraid” Correa is of both the big stage and the big moments, that much is clear.
But listening to them on personnel moves? If Cashman worried about fan reaction, you would’ve had a blank check delivered to DJ LeMahieu last offseason and Gerrit Cole’s money in Patrick Corbin’s pocket.
Mostly, we simply remain worried that money might be an obstacle considering the team was more than willing to duck a year of Gerrit Cole’s prime just to avoid the luxury tax at all costs last year.
