As much as I’d like Carlos Correa, I wouldn’t hold my breath. Now Scott Boras is his agent, which means he won’t come cheap. I don’t know if Hal Steinbrenner is going to break the bank when he has to pay Judge. Plus Yanks have Anthony Volpe coming up soon. Can Correa play 3B?

Thankfully, the internet always provides. And opposing opinions were never in short supply.
Oh man. Carlos Correa hires the guy that got the Gerrit Cole deal done with the Yankees. #YankeesTwitter have at it https://t.co/EJLdwzcRBU

Super agent Scott Boras was on multiple mentions with the superstar shortstop. Correa signing on with Boras could possibly either really encourage Yankees fans or put them into utter dismay.

Yankees fans seem to be ready to pull out all stops in their pursuit of the shortstop. Some even tossing their own estimations of the contract up for discussion.
The Yankees offer to Carlos Correa should be 10 years and $345 million. https://t.co/OMBXcN7p6e

Others still voiced their opinion that the signing of Carlos Correa can be made irrespective of finances. That Correa shouldn’t really have any bearing on prospect development or even re-signing the Yankees top performers from the season past.
None of the SS that are in the minors should stop Cashman from signing one of the top SS in the FA market…Preferably Carlos Correa #Yankees
— Arby (@ABeltran1993) January 15, 2022
Real fans grasp the fact the Yankees can afford both Correa and Judge.
Half this fan base would rather spend $30 on a pretzel and hope a prospect pans out so they can say they didn’t buy the team.
Complete and utter tomfoolery. https://t.co/NPJeo3eOrm

The Internet does Internet things
The transfer of Correa to the Yankees is going to bring about a tidal wave of memes and references if and when completed. But even before the discussions begin, the internet had its own two cents to add. Some spoke about ownership and their potential reaction to the financials being discussed.

Others chose to take the opportunity to speak about their pre-game routine, should the front office not be in keeping with their asks of the Yankees.

Fans even made most of the pop culture craze going around. With the web-slinger’s recent release, Spiderman: No Way Home released in theaters, fans put together an interesting clip. Spoiler alert for those that haven’t seen the movie yet though.

And because LeBron’s decision was publicly so well received (yes, sarcasm), some fans even went as far as suggesting Correa could appear on the Joe Rogan podcast to make his announcement.

The nature of the transfer is such that it will likely capture the imaginations of players and fans across the league. But what’s also important is that when Correa does sign for a team and the transfer saga seems to be at a close, we can all sit back and enjoy watching Twitter explode.
