Nonetheless, watching the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/world-series-2022-why-is-dusty-baker-wearing-black-gloves-20221028-0064.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houston Astros</a> take the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/how-many-world-series-has-dusty-baker-won-20221106-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a></strong> wasn’t all that shocking, considering how consistent and good they were for most of the season.</p>
<p>Needless to say, the rest of the league will try to replicate their success and put together a team that could challenge<strong> come playoff time. </strong>That will be easier said than done, but there could be multiple players that could help with that cause.</p>
<p>With that in mind, let’s take a look at three of the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-rumors-aaron-judge-jacob-degrom-and-superstar-who-could-join-new-teams-20221108-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">best players</a> who could be available and switch teams</strong> in free agency. Spoiler alert: Your favorite team will most likely miss the chance to sign them.</p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: 3 Best Infielders That Could Be Available</h2>
<h3>3. Xander Bogaerts</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221117_BUS_205605_xander_bogaerts_x1x.jpg_22993414_ae4af51c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Xander Bogaerts – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Xander Bogaerts </strong>and the <strong>Boston Red Sox </strong>haven’t been able to reach an agreement on a contract extension. He’s had enough of giving up money to help the team out, and feels like he deserves more.</p>
<p>Moreover, the Red Sox failed to stay in contention this season, and will have<strong> plenty o new faces </strong>after several of their stars hit free agency. Bogaerts has been a stalwart for the organization, but his days in Boston seem numbered.</p>
<h3>2. Trea Turner</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221117_BUS_205605_trea_turner.jpg_22993414_70e48350.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Trea Turner – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers </strong>struck gold when they acquired <strong>Trea Turner</strong> from the<strong> Washington Nationals.</strong> He can play multiple positions and is one of the best lead-off hitters in all the <em>Big Show.</em></p>
<p>Turner’s defense is only topped by his offense, and the Dodgers simply can’t afford to let him walk away in free agency. However, he could be tempted to<strong> join another</strong> team if the offer is high enough.</p>
<h3>1. Carlos Correa</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221117_BUS_205605_carlos_correa.jpg_22993414_28a66b21.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carlos Correa – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There was plenty of speculation regarding <strong>Carlos Correa’s</strong> future for most of the season. And while the<strong> Minnesota Twins</strong> peaked later in the season, it seems like it may not be enough to retain him.</p>
<p>Correa was the most sought-after shortstop in the market the last offseason and is a lock to go through the same again if he decides to opt-out from his deal. He’s too good to waste his talents <strong>on a non-contending team.</strong></p>

They were linked to every star, then <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-news-brian-cashman-breaks-the-silence-on-the-yankees-offseason-20220330-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Cashman</a> decided not to overpay, </strong>and the team fell short in the postseason. It seems like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-playoff-format-2022-schedule-bracket-key-dates-and-teams-20221006-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>a matchup</strong></a> with the <strong>Houston Astros </strong>has been this team’s ceiling for years.</p>
<p>The Yankees could’ve had <strong>Manny Machado </strong>and/or <strong>Bryce Harper</strong>. They could’ve pursued <strong>Carlos Correa, Carlos Rodon, Robbie Ray,</strong> or traded for<strong> Luis Castillo.</strong> Instead, they traded for an aging, injury-prone <strong>Josh Donaldson </strong>making nearly $30 million.</p>
<p>We’re talking about a team that’s spent $3 billion since 2009and has <strong>no <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-world-series-2022-trophy-name-cost-weight-height-and-history-20221023-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Series</a> to show for it</strong>, and it’s hard to justify Cashman keeping his job. So, if he wants to turn things around once and for all, he should target — and get — at least two of these players.</p>
<h2>MLB Rumors: 3 Players Yankees Should Target In Free Agency</h2>
<h3>3. Dansby Swanson</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221024_BUS_203643_dansby_swanson.jpg_22993414_e9d3e3c1.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dansby Swanson – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Josh Donaldson, and Gelyber Torres </strong>combined for 39 fielding errors last season. That shouldn’t happen with a defensive specialist such as<strong> Dansby Swanson</strong> taking over the starting SS spot.</p>
<p>Moreover, Swanson made great strides as a hitter this season, hitting .277 with an OBP of .329. The <strong>Atlanta Braves </strong>will sure love to keep him around, but it doesn’t sound like he’s got that on his plans right now.</p>
<h3>2. Willson Contreras</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221024_BUS_203643_willson_contreras_x1x.jpg_22993414_bbd2698e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Willson Contreras – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Neither <strong>Jose Trevino,</strong> nor <strong>Kyle Higashioka </strong>have ever been or will ever be consistent hitters. That’s why the Yankees need to break the bank and pay<strong> Willson Contreras</strong> as much as he wants, as he’s one of the best in business in that regard among catchers.</p>
<p>The Yankees’ bottom of the order was horrible for the most part of the year, and it sure showed up in the postseason. The former<strong> Chicago Cubs</strong> star doesn’t strike out often, and he can hit for power and average while also being a great defender.</p>
<h3>1. Trea Turner</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20221024_BUS_203643_trea_turner_1.jpg_22993414_29bc9a86.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Trea Turner – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>With <strong>DJ LeMahieu </strong>struggling with injuries, the Yankees struggled vastly to get on base. They need a leadoff hitter who can actually… lead off the offense, and<strong> Trea Turner </strong>is one of the best in the game.</p>
<p>The Yankees need a shortstop who can live up to<strong> Derek Jeter’s </strong>standards. The<strong> Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> failed to extend Turner and risk losing him in free agency, and the Yankees simply cannot afford to miss out on this chance.</p>

<h2>MLB News: The Top 3 Free Agents In 2023</h2>
<h3>3. Jose Abreu</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220922_BUS_200942_jose_abreu_1.jpg_22993414_5ac0e742.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Jose Abreu- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The universal DH rule will grant players like <strong>Jose Abreu</strong> even more value in free agency. He’s been quite durable throughout his career, and one of the most consistent and dominant hitters in the Majors.</p>
<p>The<strong> Chicago White Sox </strong>are coming off a disappointing year, so he may look to pursue his career somewhere else. Even so, it’s hard to picture the Cuban slugger wearing different threads.</p>
<h3>2. Trea Turner</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220922_BUS_200942_trea_turner_1.jpg_22993414_e3524963.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Trea Turner- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> pulled off a massive move to land <strong>Trea Turner</strong> a couple of years ago. And judging by his words and actions, it doesn’t seem like he’s planning on leaving Hollywood any time soon.</p>
<p>However, Turner’s ability to hit for both average and power, his versatility on the infield, and his clutch hitting would make him a highly-coveted asset in free agency. He’s in for a hugepayday <strong>in his next contract.</strong></p>
<h3>1. Aaron Judge</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220922_BUS_200942_aaron_judge_x1x_1.jpg_22993414_6470c792.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Aaron Judge – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Aaron Judge</strong> has been the best player in the same league where <strong>Shohei Ohtani</strong> plays. Let that sink in. He’s amid a historical season and could run away with AL MVP honors while also winning a Quadruple Crown.</p>
<p>Judge decided to bet on himself and turned down a huge deal with the<strong> New York Yankees.</strong> Now, he’s looking at north of $300 million in his next contract after one of the most spectacular seasons in MLB history.</p>
