&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-lockout-five-major-events-that-could-be-impacted-20211202-0009.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MLB Lockout&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; may have halted all conversations between players and franchises, postponing a number of big signings that teams were looking forward to do in free agency. &lt;strong&gt;But &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-best-fits-for-seiya-suzuki-20211214-0006.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;rumors&lt;/a&gt; continue making headlines anyway&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carlos Correa&lt;/strong&gt; looks like the biggest name on the market heading into the 2022 season after his contract with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/houston-astros-t116283&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; expired this year. The shortstop, unsurprisingly, has reportedly drawn interest &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-carlos-correa-kris-bryant-and-the-lockout-20211202-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;from several teams&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/chicago-cubs-t114707&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; are understood to be a likely destination for Correa, with both parties interested in making this move happen, &lt;strong&gt;but there's a condition from the player that would distance him&lt;/strong&gt; from&amp;nbsp;the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-winners-list-of-world-series-champions-by-year-20211027-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2016 World Series&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; champions.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item second&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Report: The condition from Carlos Correa the Cubs would be unwilling to meet&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;According to&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;670 The Score&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;there's mutual interest&lt;/strong&gt; between the Cubs and Correa to reestablish conversations and get the deal done&amp;nbsp;once the lockout is over, but Chicago &lt;strong&gt;isn't convinced about an important demand&lt;/strong&gt; from the player.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While Correa apparently &lt;strong&gt;pretends a long-term deal&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/free-agency-2021-dodgers-corey-seager-has-reportedly-agreed-to-a-10-year-325-million-deal-with-the-texas-rangers-20211129-0022.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;similar&lt;/a&gt; to the one &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-dodgers-cheap-offer-to-max-scherzer-was-lowkey-insulting-20211215-0004.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Corey Seager&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; signed with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/texas-rangers-t125462&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Texas Rangers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the Cubs are reportedly &lt;strong&gt;unwilling to tie him down to a 10-year contract&lt;/strong&gt;, regardless of the money.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The interest seems to exist, &lt;strong&gt;it's the length of the contract what would hold&amp;nbsp;them back&lt;/strong&gt;. The report suggests that Chicago would much rather prefer to agree for a short-term contract with a higher average annual salary.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt;

   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Cubs' doubts on Carlos Correa deal could open the doors for the Yankees&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While the Cubs don't look convinced on satisfying Correa's long-term contract demands, &lt;strong&gt;other teams could step in and make an attempt to land the free-agent shortstop&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As Doug Rush (via &lt;em&gt;Essentially Sports&lt;/em&gt;) notes, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-yankees-t110370&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;could seize this opportunity &lt;/strong&gt;to sign one of the most coveted names on the market once the lockout is lifted.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/figure&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;It looks like the&amp;nbsp;MLB lockout&amp;nbsp;won't be over before New Year, so these rumors might remain up in the air for a while. But it will finish at&amp;nbsp;some point, and that's when teams &lt;strong&gt;will return strongly&amp;nbsp;to the market&lt;/strong&gt; to move forward with these kinds of moves.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

MLB Rumors: Cubs hesitant to satisfy a Carlos Correa condition, Yankees could step in

&lt;p&gt;Well, what seemed inevitable has finally happened. For the first time in 26 years, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-winners-list-of-world-series-champions-by-year-20211027-0010.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is going through a lockout, as team owners and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; Players' Association&lt;/strong&gt; couldn't reach&lt;strong&gt; an agreement &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-cba-2021-expiration-date-what-is-it-and-when-does-it-expire-20211129-0023.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;on the new CBA.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;That happened in the middle of a spending frenzy that saw teams like the &lt;strong&gt;Texas Rangers&lt;/strong&gt; commit half a billion dollars in two players, while other stars like &lt;strong&gt;Max Scherzer and Robbie Ray&lt;/strong&gt; also got plenty of cash.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;So, what does that means for the teams like the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/new-york-yankees-t110370&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Yankees&lt;/a&gt; or Red Sox &lt;/strong&gt;who have yet to add major names to their rosters? And what's going to happen with &lt;strong&gt;Carlos Correa and Kris Bryant&lt;/strong&gt; in the meantime? Let's find out.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;MLB Free Agency: Several Teams Inquiring About Carlos Correa&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Even though he can't sign anywhere during the lockout, &lt;strong&gt;Carlos Correa &lt;/strong&gt;still has plenty of offers on his table. According to &lt;strong&gt;Mark Berman of Fox 26&lt;/strong&gt;, at least 5 ballclubs have offered him deals north of $30 million per year.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;According to MLB sources the agent for free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa has heard from the&amp;nbsp;@Yankees,&amp;nbsp;@RedSox,&amp;nbsp;@Dodgers,&amp;nbsp;@Cubs&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;@Braves&amp;nbsp;and was offered five years/$160 million by the Astros last month,&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; reported Berman.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;MLB Rumors: Kris Bryant Drawing Plenty Of Interest&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kris Bryant&lt;/strong&gt; is also gauging a lot of attention in the market. While no numbers have been discussed, it seems like multiple teams are going to engage in a bidding war for the former &lt;strong&gt;Cubs&lt;/strong&gt; star, per &lt;strong&gt;Jon Heyman of MLB network.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Mets, Angels and Padres are among many teams to have shown interest in star free agent Kris Bryant, whose marketing is now percolating, Mariners, Phillies, Rockies, Astros among others who have checked in,&quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;tweeted Heyman.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-related-news&quot;&gt; 
 &lt;span data-src=&quot;/usa/contenidos/2021/12/01/noticia_0036.html&quot; data-type=&quot;news&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;div id=&quot;relatedNews-94&quot;&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;MLB Lockout: What's Next?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The lockout pretty much means that there can't be any signings or even contact between the teams and the players until the lockout if lifted. Also, it means that the Winter Meetings that would take place between December 6-9 &lt;strong&gt;are now officially canceled.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Commissioner Rob Manfred&lt;/strong&gt; published an open letter blaming the MLBPA of the lockout, claiming that the players' demands of establishing a salary flor would&amp;nbsp;hurt some teams' ability to compete:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&quot;Simply put, we believe that an offseason lockout is the best mechanism to protect the 2022 season. We hope that the lockout will jumpstart the negotiations and get us to an agreement that will allow the season to start on time. This defensive lockout was necessary because the Players Association&rsquo;s vision for Major League Baseball would threaten the ability of most teams to be competitive. It&rsquo;s simply not a viable option,&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; read the letter.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Well, I'm sure that there are plenty of business mogulf who have enough money to invest on MLB teams if the poor owners don't have enough to spend in free agency. Whatever is the case, this situation is likely not going to change &lt;strong&gt;until next year.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

MLB Rumors: Carlos Correa, Kris Bryant, and the lockout

&lt;p&gt;It goes without saying that the&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/houston-astros-t116283&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Houston Astros&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; earned are the least-favorite team in all &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/mlb-t48464&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Major League Baseball&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; right now and for very good reasons, as they were caught &lt;strong&gt;cheating and stealing signs &lt;/strong&gt;en route to their &lt;strong&gt;2017&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; World Series title.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Astros were booed on the streets, people and players mocked them on social media, on the radio and television, and even on Spring Training, &lt;strong&gt;not to mention the occasional HBP in retaliation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Houston barely made the expanded postseason pool while playing under .500 in the regular season. They lost their ace &lt;strong&gt;Justin Verlander&lt;/strong&gt; due to injury and&lt;strong&gt; Gerrit Cole &lt;/strong&gt;in free agency, and now they're right back in the&lt;strong&gt; American League Division Series.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's why star shortstop &lt;strong&gt;Carlos Correa &lt;/strong&gt;didn't waste the chance to take a shot at those who want the Astros to suffer after sweeping the&lt;strong&gt; Minnesota Twins&lt;/strong&gt; in the Wild-Card series on Wednesday:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Carlos Correa Says The Astros Had A Tough Year&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;&lt;strong&gt;We had a tough year since the start of Spring Training&lt;/strong&gt;, but now it&rsquo;s all about playing great baseball. I think we showed everybody we have a solid team. Minnesota, in a lot of brackets, was supposed to win the World Series. We swept a great team in Minnesota, and I think we deserve a lot of respect as a team. We played great baseball, our pitching staff did a great job, we got some clutch hits and we were able to win the series,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; the Puerto Rican concluded.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &amp;nbsp;
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Welp, if the Astros had a tough year, they brought it on themselves. You can't cheat and expect people not to call you out for it, especially after watching their offensive numbers take a massive hit without their sign-stealing scheme.&lt;strong&gt; Now, they'll have to get past the Athletics or White Sox in the ALDS.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
