Astros Have Reportedly Considered Carlos Correa Trade

By Connor Byrne | December 10, 2019 at 7:50pm CDT

Speaking with Brian McTaggart of MLB.com and other reporters Tuesday, Astros president of baseball operations Jeff Luhnow painted a somewhat bleak picture in regards to the team’s payroll. In Luhnow’s estimation, the Astros are going to have to clear out money if they want to acquire a top-end starting pitcher this offseason. With that in mind, it looks more likely than ever that they’ll be saying goodbye to the No. 1 player on the market, right-hander Gerrit Cole, who teamed with Justin Verlander and Zack Greinke to comprise an incredibly formidable trio in 2019.

Back in early October, before the Astros began what proved to be an American League-winning run through the playoffs, owner Jim Crane indicated he’d like to avoid going past the $208MM luxury tax in 2020. However, in the estimation of Jason Martinez of FanGraphs and Roster Resource, their luxury-tax payroll for next season is already over $231MM. As a result, the Astros could be more likely to shave payroll than make any major additions this winter.

The Astros would cut some money by trading star shortstop Carlos Correa, who’s due to earn an estimated $7.4MM via arbitration next year. Dealing the 25-year-old sounds like crazy talk, especially when you’re a championship-level team like Houston, but it’s not off the table. The club has “entertained” the possibility, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports (subscription link). As of now, though, no deal appears imminent.

With the top free-agent shortstop, Didi Gregorius, now off the board, it stands to reason any shortstop-needy club would (or has) called the Astros in regards to Correa. In trading Correa, though, the Astros would be selling low after an injury-limited year and leaving themselves with questions at short (of course, they did do just fine without him for a large portion of 2019). For now, Correa’s one of several key Astros who’s due to reach free agency over the next couple years, which could hasten either a trade or an extension. Correa, Verlander and Greinke are under control through 2021, while first baseman Yuli Gurriel and outfielders George Springer and Michael Brantley are slated to hit the open market after next season.

        Trading or signing any players from a team under commissioner investigation should be on an obvious hold. Too bad this site and about one or two hundred thousand people don’t know better.

          Rallyshirt, exactly what I’ve been saying since the cheating was exposed. Correa was using the sign feedback when he was batting, so he was knowingly benefiting from it. Who’s to say players won’t be sanctioned? They should be suspended for some number of games, if not most or all of next season. And why would a free agent – who has control over where he ends up – even consider the Astros, especially before MLB reaches its conclusions and metes out punishments? If I were a player, there is no way I would sign with the Astros, and if I were any other team, there is no way I’d sign an Astros player who was on the roster at least in 2017.

        They were better on the road in 2017, which is the season that is under scrutiny, and also the last one this would be possible because of the delays used on TVs after that season… because of teams other than the Astros.

          You actually cant. There is a very real delay between the feed and live that the time doesnt work to accomplish it without a closed circuit in stadium feed. The broadcast networks have to delay it a little in order to do the live edit, and it then has to go out through the satellite and relays back to the subscribers TV. You could maybe get a close to live feed from the away broadcast truck before it sends, but it would require you to involve unknown people who arent employees of the team in the scheme..

      Nobody does. If the Giants want to try and compete in 2021 they will need to cut bait on that contract after 2020, if not before. Probably wouldn’t be the worst idea to just make Solano or Dubon the starter next year.

          Mets just lost Wheeler and Astros are losing Cole. Astros would be dumb not to make that trade. Mets need pitching with that brutal bullpen too. Pitching is at a premium this offseason – position players are not – especially oft injured position players that may have benefited from sign stealing.

      Pretty unfeasible. First there’s the Bryant grievance which can hugely affect his value, second the Cubs don’t need a short stop and third the Astros don’t need a third Baseman.

      They both have two years of control left (assuming the grievance doesn’t affect Bryant’s control) but the trade would make both teams worse unless there’s a secondary move, but that would mean either moving the received player immediately or moving Bregman/Baez which I don’t see happening.

        Play Báez at second? Plus, Corrres is making less money by a lot according to the article. But I’ll concede it doesn’t make sense. Thought he had an extra year on Bryant. And thought the Astros could use Bryant at 3rd and move Bergman to SS in a pinch? Honestly think the Astros could trade him for young pitching and not worry about runs. They’re stacked in that department.

    There are no kinks or quotes to anyone referencing a Correa trade rumor at all. The quote from Luhnow was that they need to clear salary to acquire top end starting pitching. The most obvious move is shipping off Reddick and paying at least half of it just to free up payroll against the tax threshold.

      Reddick trade can’t/won’t happen before the summer. Coming off a huge decline and surgery, so his value has never been lower, plus you can’t go into the season with only Tucker, Springer, Brantley, and Straw. No, I don’t count Alvarez.

        When is a story not a story?

        This means that management people were going through a list of what-if options during brainstorming, and they got to Correa. They very probably got to 3 other guys that would make a nice story as well.

        We’re in silly season, and this is one of the worst examples that happens during this time each year.

        I would guess that all MLB front offices go over all possibilities related to their personnel and how they fit with their payroll limitations. And not just players. It’s a part of what they do. Rosenthal and his ilk try to keep themselves in the news too often. Less is more. This is one of countless stories that ML ballplayers LOL at with one another in the locker room.

        wouldn’t happen. Despite his injuries, he’s still going to get paid big time by someone in just a couple years. It won’t be Tampa, so they won’t give up the goods for just those years.

    How about Correa for Kluber? Both have 2 yrs of control remaining and the teams could split the money if need be, which means Cleveland would have to send $10M. It’s risky for both sides, but both could benefit greatly from this deal. The Astros get a #2 to slot behind JV and the Indians get a second baseman(assuming he can play the position).

      Someone really thought about this deal, Cleveland wants to get rid of Kluber to save money not give it up, also they want prospects for the future, another grade A shortstop or second baseman ain’t gonna get them above the twins

        They would be saving money. Kluber is owed $17.5M this season and $18M next. Sending $10M would still be a net savings of $25.5M. It would give the Astros a #2 for 2 yrs at $12.5M and $13M. Much less than signing a FA SP. The Indians are around $100M now, which is down from the $120M from last season. They’re not in a financial pinch and they are already a better team than the Twins. Had 3/5 of their rotation and Lindor not gone down with injuries they would have likely won the division again. The Indians’ rotation alone puts them ahead of the Twins. Even Vegas agrees with this. The Indians want to address needs and improve this team now and for future years. They are not looking for “prospect” returns unless those prospects are ready to contribute towards winning another division title now. Your assessment couldn’t be any further from the truth even if the trade idea isn’t a good one. Do some research before you ignorantly opine.

          Why did the yankees use multiple signs with nobody on base for many competitive games despite the team they were playing against? Every team is actively trying to decipher the other teams signs using outside sources and every team is actively protecting against other teams deciphering their own signs.

    Not resigning Charlie Morton last off-season was a terrible, terrible mistake on the Astros part. It forced them into gutting their farm to trade for Greinke who is a lesser pitcher than Morton and $15m dollars or so more expensive.

    And now their payroll is jacked.

    And they’re losing Gerit Cole.

      Greinke had better numbers than Morton even if you only count his time spent in the AL. Morton, as the Astros predicted, slowly went downhill as the season went on. Because Greinke doesn’t have the K potential that Cole did doesn’t mean he wasn’t very good. Besides, Astros pride themselves on their ability to make prospects out of nothing. That is how they got Rojas to that level anyway.

    The best fit for a trade would indeed be the Braves, in terms of both teams needs. Braves could send back Riley, Anderson, Waters, and a lower lvl arm for Correa and Reddick. Probably won’t happen, and as a Braves fan, I’d rather them not ship off two top 10 prospects for a guy they have very little chance of resigning, but in terms of fits and needs, those two line up the best. Reds and White Sox are the other two that come to mind.

      It’s crazy to me all Braves fans are done with Riley? I know he struggles fornhalf a season but he was dominant for the first half. Anyone interested in Bryant and Schwarber for Riley and some of those pitching prospects? While I agree it’d make me mad the Cubs are closing their window the only way to come back is to deal guys, especially those that won’t resign, for young, controllable prospects.

    Correia to the Mets for Syndergard was interesting. Mets should do it, trade Cano, cash, and prospects anywhere, sign Cole, madbum, and Keuichel. McNeil plays 2nd, Correa at ss, Alonso at 1st, looking pretty good.

    The Rays seem like a team that would be all over him. Pagan and Yarborough plus a couple lower guys. It might seem light but Pagan has 5 years of control and Yarborough has had some success as a sp, lrp, and has three years of control I believe maybe four. Rays might have to include a recent high pick. They could go all out get Lindor for Willy, Castillo, and last year’s 1st rounder. Indians trade Kluber and Hand save $40,000,000, trade Ramirez to St.Louis and reload for a run over the next five to seven years instead of two.
