Any team would welcome Correa with open arms, but that will cost a huge amount for them. And that is one of the reasons why many teams are not considering him an option for their roster. But, Correa to the Cubs might be a serious deal and the Cubs pitcher Marcus Stroman is already hyped up for this deal.
Notably, if Correa joins the Cubs, then it will only strengthen the Cubs’ roster. However, Stroman is still not sure about whether Correa will sign for the Cubs or not.
Is Marcus Stroman also involved in the Carlos Correa deal with the Cubs?
Though Carlos Correa has not signed any deal with the Chicago Cubs, Marcus Stroman has already been cheering for his arrival.
