The Houston Astros<\/a> and Minnesota Twins<\/a> have agreed to a trade sending shortstop Carlos Correa<\/a> back to the Astros, according to MLB.com<\/a>. Full trade details are unknown. There were rumblings the Astros were exploring a Correa reunion earlier this week<\/a>, after third baseman Isaac Paredes<\/a> went down with a significant hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Correa will play third base with the Astros, reports\u00a0The Athletic<\/a>. He has played shortstop his entire big-league career, though he played third base in deference to Francisco Lindor<\/a> during the World Baseball Classic, and agreed to play third to join the New York Mets<\/a> two years ago. Correa remained at short with the Twins after his deal with the Mets fell through.<\/p>\n

Now 30, Correa is having the worst season of his career, slashing .267\/.319\/.386 with seven home runs in 93 games. Between that and declining defense, he is a 0.1 WAR player this year. Correa is owed $92 million from 2026-28 with four club options covering 2029-32. It is unclear whether the Twins ate any money to facilitate the trade.<\/p>\n
