Since the teams are restricted from making any moves, courtesy of the lockout, the fans have begun pitching and negotiating instead. Free agency’s top shortstop Carlos Correa is on the radar of many teams, including that of the Chicago Cubs.

Notably, the Cubs fans have taken to social media, sharing their plea to sign Carlos. Quite remarkably, they even made a special song request to Carlos, a gesture he couldn’t oversee.

Carlos Correa sends a positive message to Cubs fans

The Carlos Correa bidding war has been a worthwhile battle; every big franchise, from New York Yankees to Houston Astros, have been linked to him in the offseason. Undeniably, given his heroics in 2021, even fans of multiple franchises wish to have the shortstop on their side. However, the Cubs went above and beyond, directly making requests to Carlos.

The Cubs fans morphed the famous Christmas Carol, ‘Gloria in Excelsis Deo,’ singing, “Come play in Chicago, Correa.” Although players are restricted from transfer talk, Carlos couldn’t help but reply to the fans’ gesture.

Replying to their festive request, Carlos tweeted, ”Happy Holidays to you all 🎄💙.”
