hmm...
the SS market.. can be defined by five stalwarts (some with opt-outs) and about a dozen guys who all fall below the "Rosario" line (hitting/fielding ability)..
The obvious top five (in any order), Tim Anderson, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Dansby Swanson and, the best of the bunch, Carlos Correa all carry at least 8 figure salaries and are either right at 30 years old or younger.. Only Tim Anderson's soon to be player option at 12.5 MM would be in the AAV salary range that a guy like Rosario might approach.. Everyone else is/was either a glove first or a better than a raw rookie player & 30 something in age.. IOW..not exactly what a "building" squad wants for the 2023 season and beyond..
Rosario will have a market.. Absolutely, his market will not surpass the top five guys.. It would be assumed that half or more of those top five guys will be retained by their club..
There are several clubs that spend (read: can extend) and have the talent to make a deal for Rosario. The Cardinals and the Dodgers (if Trea moves on) are the top two, imho..
Thoughts?
