Teams that could steal Corey Seager from the Dodgers:

1. New York Yankees

Of course, the New York Yankees are the top team on this list. If there is one team that can outspend the Los Angeles Dodgers, it is the Yankees, and they are connected to both Seager and Carlos Correa this offseason.

Correa has to be one of the most hated players in the league, especially among Yankee fans, so I would imagine the front office would favor someone like Seager. Winning is all that matters at the end of the day, but with everything Correa has said about New York, and even bashing Derek Jeter, I find it hard to see that relationship going over smoothly.

Plus, the Yankees need another left-handed bat in their lineup far more than they need a right-handed bat. Even if Correa puts together slightly better offensive metrics, Seager helps balance the lineup more than Correa does.

The Yankees would obviously be an intriguing destination for Seager, as he would get paid a boatload of money, would get to hit home runs into that short right-field porch and would always play for a team that is going to do all it can to contend for a World Series.

He does not need to worry about playing on a terrible team three years into his contract. The Yankees will always be competitive.

Next. Corey Seager is this generation's Derek Jeter, but better. dark

Seager just looks like a Yankee as well. As much as it pains to say, he has the clean-shaven Yankee look and I can already envision him hitting 30+ home runs a season in those pinstripes… if he can stay healthy, of course.
