The Houston Astros made a major splash ahead of Thursday's MLB trade deadline, acquiring shortstop Carlos Correa in a deal with the Minnesota Twins.
The move is a reunion of sorts, as Correa spent his first seven MLB seasons in Houston, winning the 2017 World Series and earning two All-Star selections with the club. The Astros are sending left-handed relief pitching prospect Matt Mikulski—as well as $30 million in cash—to Minnesota, who have been quite the seller at this year's deadline, in return.
