The market for free agent shortstop Carlos Correa appears to be heating up, and three teams appear to have the best chance of signing the 28-year-old.

The San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, and Chicago Cubs are three teams linked most closely to Correa, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Heyman adds that the three teams are “among” those looking at Correa, suggesting that others are at least somewhat interested.

Giants, Twins, Cubs are among teams in on Carlos Correa, who has the advantages of being a little younger than Bogaerts and Turner and also having no qualifying offer

The Twins want to retain Correa after a relatively successful first year together, though the team failed to make the playoffs. The Giants have been named as a potential frontrunner, while the Cubs may also be eyeing an option that they might find a bit more affordable.

The question is what other teams might be lurking and willing to give Correa the huge contract he will no doubt be seeking. There may be one particular team to watch on that front.
