This offseason figures to be a transformative one for the Dodgers, as many key players are set to hit the free-agent market once the World Series wraps up.
Many have him slated to make over $300-million in his next deal, and that’s just not something that Los Angeles is in a position to offer after signing Mookie Betts to $365-million just over a season ago.
They knew it would be rejected with free agency looming, but it shows an interest in finding a way to make it work.
If the Yankees go out and sign one of these other high-profile shortstops, Corey may be better off returning to an organization that can give him a decent contract while also offering him a sense of normalcy.
The real question will be how many teams outbid LA for his services, as the Yankees particularly stand out as the main competition for the former World Series MVP.
