Carlos Correa is coming home to play third base. The Twins have agreed to trade Correa to the Astros, according to MLB.com’s Brian McTaggart, and Jon Morosi of MLB Network says he’ll man the hot corner for Houston. Pitching prospect Matt Mikulski is going to Minnesota, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Twins are paying down $33MM of the approximate $103.4MM remaining on Correa’s deal. The trade is now official.
The idea of the Astros bringing Correa back into the fold first surfaced yesterday in a report from Nightengale. Rome and Dan Hayes of The Athletic went on to report that the Astros approached the Twins with the concept of bringing back Correa, a favorite of owner Jim Crane.
With $103.4MM remaining on Correa’s contract through 2028, reporting today suggested that the two clubs were too far apart on dollars to consummate a deal. However, as ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports, the teams bridged their financial gap, Correa waived his no-trade clause, and the deal was resuscitated. As Correa told McTaggart, “I let them know there was only one team I would allow that to happen.”
The Astros and Crane have a history of letting star players depart for longer free agent deals elsewhere. In this case, Correa left after the 2021 season. Nearly three years later third baseman Alex Bregman turned down the Astros’ overtures and landed in Boston, after the club had already landed his replacement in Isaac Paredes (acquired from the Cubs in part because the Astros knew they couldn’t win the bidding on Kyle Tucker). Paredes tore his hamstring on July 19th, which may be season-ending.
Jeremy Peña has flourished in Correa’s absence, making his first All-Star team this year after hitting the IL in late June for a fractured rib. Peña could rejoin the Astros tomorrow in Boston, playing next to his predecessor on the left side of the infield against Bregman and the Red Sox. The Astros had picked up Ramon Urias from Baltimore last night, a move that paled in comparison to the division-rival Mariners adding Eugenio Suarez. Now with Correa, Urias will be pushed into a utility role that could include time at second base.
Correa, 31 in September, owns an uninspiring 97 wRC+ in 364 plate appearances this year for the Twins. His Twins career has been up-and-down in that regard, with a stellar 136 wRC+ in 2022, a down year in ’23, and a career-best 155 mark last year.
Correa played in only 86 games for the Twins in 2024, missing time due to an intercostal strain and plantar fasciitis. He spent time on the seven-day concussion list in May this year, but has otherwise avoided the IL despite some minor injuries.
Injuries have long been part of the story for Correa, who was drafted first overall by the Astros in 2012. He played 110 or fewer games in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2024, so he had a four-year run of good health encompassing his multiple free agencies.
Despite his injury history, Correa has been worth 3.7 WAR in seven separate seasons. He won the AL Rookie of the Year in 2015, made his first All-Star team and garnered MVP votes in 2017, made another All-Star team and finished fifth in the MVP voting in 2021, and made a third All-Star game with the Twins last year. Certainly Correa’s 2017 performance and the Astros’ championship are tarnished by the sign-stealing scandal, but the star players involved have largely been able to move on with minimal effects aside from perhaps extra boos from certain fanbases.
Correa has been a regular on the pages of MLBTR, perhaps beginning with that sign-stealing scandal in late 2019. Though Correa suffered some reputational damage for cheating at the time, his first run at free agency seemed largely unaffected. Hewing to their organizational philosophy on long-term contracts, the Astros topped out at a five-year, $160MM offer, even though Correa was heading into his age-27 season.
Though some major free agents such as Corey Seager signed before the 99-day 2021-22 lockout, Correa did not. Correa switched to the Boras Corporation during the lockout, and “settled” for a three-year, $105.3MM deal with the Twins in March 2022 with opt-out clauses after each season. After an excellent debut season with the Twins, Correa opted out as expected, but his second run at free agency was anything but easy.
Correa agreed to a 13-year, $350MM deal with the Giants in December 2022, which shockingly fell apart after his physical revealed concerns over his right leg. Correa then agreed to play third base for the Mets on a 12-year, $315MM deal, only to have that deal fall apart for similar reasons. That led to a January 2023 reunion with the Twins on a six-year, $200MM deal, ending one of the wildest free agencies this website has ever seen.
As Rome and Hayes wrote recently, “Though the Twins are enamored with Correa, believing he’s a difference-maker on the field, the team’s financial picture has changed drastically in the 30 months since he signed his six-year deal. The club has been up for sale since October, which is limiting how much the team can spend on players. Correa’s salary represents 25 percent of the Twins’ current $141 million payroll.”
Now, Correa will return to Houston and play a position other than shortstop for the first time in his 11-year MLB career. He told McTaggart, “We were waiting for a shortstop to come in [with Twins] and now that I get to play third base, it will be great for me at this stage of my career.” Whether Paredes moves to the right side of the infield next year or becomes offseason trade bait remains to be seen.
Correa is owed $103.4MM through 2028, which would represent a $31.4MM CBT hit for the Astros. Given the approximate $33MM the Twins are kicking in, we estimate the Astros’ CBT hit to be around $21MM. Future reporting will surely confirm the figure. The Astros’ CBT payroll sits just below the $241MM threshold, so this trade easily vaults Houston into second-time tax payor status. The trade has echoes of one the Astros made two years ago, when they re-acquired Justin Verlander after letting him go to the Mets via free agency.
Known to be seeking a left-handed bat, the Astros nonetheless added Urias and Correa within a short span at the deadline. But shortly after landing Correa, they finally did get a lefty stick in the Marlins’ Jesus Sanchez. Clearly in go-for-it mode, GM Dana Brown pursued the Padres’ Dylan Cease as well, but that did not come to fruition.
While the Astros have added to their first-place team, the 51-57 Twins have conducted a full-on fire sale. Twins president of baseball operations Derek Falvey traded a whopping 10 players off his active roster in July, including both rentals and controllable players.

Once a cheater, always a cheater
Shut up B!
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Once a champ, always a champ.
Chump*
And if that’s how you want to “win” it says more about you.
Pretty typical for Texas. Can’t compete, so you steal from other states.
If you’re not cheating you’re not trying someone said.
Jim Rome ?
Texas would have a top 10 gdp if it were it’s own country again.
The Astros yes, but the Rangers won their World Series, fair and square and stole from nobody.
Being a roided up fluke job can’t be fair and square.
Or gerrymander.
Bobby “the Brain.”
You could insert basically any state into that braindead comment and it would be true.
I’m not from Texas, but that is a dumb comment. Good grief, move on.
California would have a top 5
Give it another 10 years and Texas will be well past California
Rack him.
👀
And the third largest communist country.
Hate the Astros but this is a stupid take.
Still behind California
California would be #4 in GDP if it were it’s own country. What’s that got to do with baseball.
Adios.
Do that. Take all the southern states as well. Thanks.
Bite #&$!. Don’t lump the Rangers in with this.
That was the motto of the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.
And the southern states would be very very happy. 🙂
He hasn’t done much since the cheating scandal went public.
Gotta love Astro’s fans still trying to brush the most extensive cheating scandal in 100 years under the rug. It’s not “living in the past” to acknowledge the absurd cheating that the Astros did to win their first WS and it should absolutely be brought up again and again, especially in an article about one of the cheaters.
And your second sentence is just a pathetic attempt to rationalize being the biggest cheaters since the early 1900’s. Yea, teams will steal signs and try to get an advantage but nobody has EVER done anything remotely close to the egregious trash can system. It’s just a sad way of trying to make yourself feel better about being cheaters.
Gotta love fans of teams like the yanks who whine when their team has been found to be cheating on many occasions.
Tissue?
The Trash cans were calling him back.
We’re getting the cans back together!
Yes that’s how I feel about the 2018 Red Sox….
Has your boyfriend still not earned back your trust?
This deadline is nuts
Absolutely nuts
This is why I like the deadline. It is crossing into that territory now and still 107 minutes of fun to go.
Once a champion always a champion too!
Teams and players have always looked looked for that extra edge since the game has been played. If you aren’t looking for that edge, then others are.
Wow. Thought this was just smoke and mirrors.
Crane must miss him.
what an evil SOB
MUTE
He’s not a star but he is a star in one city Houston. Did well in that stadium. Twins eat some $. Lot to like. See what return is.
Nightingale knew what he was talking about. Whoda thunk it?
And 3 team trade. He had A+ deadline
The Bob Nightengale Translator was one of my favorite Twitter accounts
Pohlads need the salary relief desperately
You got that right. When they signed Correa it was only a question of how long before they have to unload that contract. Back to reality in MIN.
I hope they sent 50M to Houston in the deal.
Evidently they can’t afford to send anywhere nearly that much.
33 million
That’s a bummer
No, bummer hasn’t been traded yet. Braves will probably keep him.
One of the greatest box scores ever includes a blown save by Blewett and a loss by Bummer.
Wow
I didn’t think it would happen
Lol
Minnesota paying down some of his contract?
I heard at least 50% of the contract that still has 3 yrs on it.
Doesn’t sound like it will be that much. Astros will take on most of the salary.
Nope. 33 million
Should be. Bad contract and only 1 buyer
It’s time for Correa to get outta town.
Why would the Astros?
They need a 3rd baseman
They dont need one long term though. Alvarez will be the DH again soon. I guess Altuve plays outfield in 2026?
With Paredes’ uncertainty for the rest of this season, Altuve’s declining range, and Walker’s declining bat, Correa will be welcome somewhere in the Astros’ infield. Assuming he’s healthy and effective.
I said 2026 not this year dude. Good gosh man if you want to have a conversation you gotta listen.
Do you not know that Altuve has played more in LF than 2nd this year? He’s become a defensive liability at 2nd.
They tried to sign Bregman even after they got Paredes. They planned to use Paredes at 2nd.
He was a defensive liability in left dude. Do you not know that?
Not as much as he is at 2nd… You misspelled tards btw.
I’ve watched Correa almost every day the past three years. He’s 30 going on 38 physically
? Is why not the Astro’s
I know he didn’t cause the trash cans but we should boo the entire Astros team now
How sad is it that even the NL version of the Astros has a more successful history than the present day Mariners.
Are you going to boo the other teams that were doing the same thing ?
All the other teams stopped when the commissioner office told them too
That’s not even remotely true… Manfred warned teams to stop using electronics to steal signs after the Yankees were caught doing it from 2015-2017.
Astros 2017 and 2018.
Red Sox 2017 and 2018.
Based on investigations it was known that the following teams were also doing it. Dodgers, D-Backs, Indians, Rangers, Cubs, Blue Jays and Nationals.
And Twins
*See 2019 team home run record where Marwin Gonzalez comes over from Houston, and suddenly pretty much every hitter has an outlier career home run season*
Marwin stole that contract
When you have prime Nelson Cruz and Miguel sano on the same team of course you are getting the home run record
See 2017 where Marwin had his career year with the Astros by cheating. And like ohyeadam said “stole his contract”.
I didn’t have this insanity on my bingo card.. Didn’t think that contract was tradable. Curious to know how much money the Twins are paying down, if any.
Any contract is tradable.
I don’t get this for MIN, interested is seeing the return from HOU.
That means Buxton is leaving for Dodger-land. Obviously.
Correa is toast. Buxton is still good, when healthy – and not going anywhere
Buxton is not going anywhere.
Plus he’s a 10/5 player or close to it.
Buxton has repeatedly said he does not want to leave Minnesota. He’s a Twin for life. He’s also wildly inconsistent offensively, with this season being an exception. At least his contract isn’t outrageous like Correa’s was.
Wow
Ok this has got to be the biggest whoa moment of the deadline lol.
This and Miller
Yeah despite the talk leading up to the deadline I didn’t really expect miller to move after all. But nobody had this Correa scenario on their bingo card until the past 24 hours lol!
Finally an intelligent move from MN. They should have been willing to move him for almost any amount of salary relief
I agree. They only sent 33 million along with him out of that remaining 110 million and three years of his deal left through 2028. And they didn’t send a top prospect along with him to the Astros. A smart move after Correa’s horrendous run with the team over 4 seasons.
As an Astros fan, this is shocking.
WOW
Bang those drums!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Cans. Cans.
Have you seen her, have you heard?
The way she plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel
Wow there’s a big surprise trade.
So many deals are coming. Twins have Coulombe and Castro they have to trade those guys. Diamondbacks still have moves to make. Glad I am off work today haha.
Not a productive day in many workplaces today.
Phillies will take them both, thank you, for Johan Rojas and 2-3 mid-level prospects.
Coulombe is being traded to Texas, full details TBD.
Woahhhh
Wow
I bet he’ll enjoy getting booed a little less
Damn!
Wow!
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO
Bang those trash cans in celebration!
Mr Friedman.. Joe Kelly on line 1
Diarrhea Corea. Bye bye Minnesota Twins 2025. As soon as Kwan gets moved the AL Central is Detroits.
Wow this deadline is turning out to be a banger
I’m an Astros fan but this is a good one
Well this certainly will revive some “feelings” around the league…
Get your trash cans ready!
This makes as much sense as a car with square wheels.
Astros gotta keep up with the M’s in bringing back former players lol
Damn! Ok twins! Twins fans this is good right? Brooks Lee for every day SS? Or nah
yes….it is. there truly is a God.
I’m not happy (not mad either), but I get it. Guessing it would have to be Lee at SS unless they speed up Culpepper to the show. Figured he wouldn’t be up until late next year, which is probably still the case, but can’t rule it out.
I’m a Twins fan and it IS GOOD!!! It’s great in fact. Correa was horrendous since he signed the new deal. I honestly think the Astros are really dumb taking him back, but hey don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Crane loves him as does the city of Houston. Love or hate him, which everyone except in Minn or Houston hates him, glad he is back as he is awesome to have back in a H jersey!!
Makes me excited for what is next. You never know what to expect.
Wild! Excited to see the terms.
Does Houston say to JV in past and Correa……go get a boatload of $ to be hurt and/or underwhelming……and we’ll get you for fraction of the pay within a couple years? Win-win!
Woah, Paredes and Peña must still be hurt. Well, at least the Astros already know what they’re getting and Correa thrived as an Astro. Good on them for keeping the window of contention open.
Sounds like Paredes will miss the rest of the season. Pena might be back tomorrow.
He’s not good anymore. He’s always hurt. Minn better be eating half that contract.
Form can be variable, but class is permanent. In addition to being the best shortstop in the game, he has an excellent baseball brain, and is a clubhouse leader, which the Astros need right now..
He’s playing 3b in Hou so there’s that. Class? He was involved in a scandal. Maybe he catches fire. Maybe he gets hurt. Or maybe he’s just who he is right now which isn’t much.
He’s the best SS in the game? What year are you living in? He’s not even the best SS on that team.
Hasn’t been for two seasons +. Correa is a shell of his former sell and the Astros and their fans are gonna find this out so quickly. I’m still shocked the STros took him back. But as they say don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.
Send Houston Cora Too
Smart move by Minnesota cutting their losses on that contract.
Hope that ankle holds up for the walk back.
Well, well, well…
YOWZA!
This deadline is wild!
He’s back 😈
Wow, Correa just said the other day this wasn’t happening
Players always do this. He DID say though that he wasn’t opposed to going back to the Astros, which I thought was interesting.
He sure has had an interesting career.
Watch Correa turn back into an allstar now.
Had to bring a cheater home to d*ddy because of a few injuries you pathetic pieces of garbage. Congrats on winning another AL Worst title by default.
The only thing pathetic here is your bitterness.
I haven’t agreed with Mickey about pretty much anything. But we agree on this.
I never wish players on other teams bad. But I hope there is a sky high pop-up, Correa and Altuve both go for it, run face first into each other at full speed, trip over each other and break ankles.
And that would only be partial punishment.
Good health to any other player who wasn’t part of that BS.
TACO Crane 🌮
They had to do something. The way they’ve looked lately, Seattle was gonna pass them. Maybe Texas too.
Trashtros get their man.
Twins will be Buxton and friends
With special guest, Royce Lewis!
When Buxton returns from the IL it’ll feel like he got traded to a new team too.
We were so smart to trade for Urias. Cheap, didn’t cost any prospects, low risk high reward. This is not a smart move at all. He’s expensive as hell, clearly lost a step, and probably cost some good prospects. On the surface of it, this makes no sense at all. Need starting pitching, not a past his prime Carlos Correa.
gross .. would have rather had tucker or bregman back
Whether a good trade or not for either, this will definitely be the most interesting trade of the deadline.
The Pohlads suck so hard right now!!!!
They sure do.
team is for sale. they stink this year – Correa being a major part of the stink. And it’s Falvey and FO making the moves. the Pohlads haven’t had interest in what the team does since Eloise died.
Twins have been borrowing against the Twins for years now. 400 mil in debt. With season lost and attendance tanked they are selling off anything not bolted down.
Guarantee Twins gave Astros a good prospect to eat more of Correas contract.
yep. This is true. They’ve fired almost half the staff at Target field, closed most of the concessions stands, have gotten rid of a good chunk of their scouting department, etc. It’s basically a bankruptcy. The Pohlads have massive debt in their commercial real estate holdings and transferred 4oo million of that to the Twins, so this is them trying to get rid of that debt before they sell the team. This selloff was to try and make the team more attractive to a buyer. Although i don’t blame them at all for dumping Correa who has been terrible for the most part with the team over 3 seasons.
Need to wait to make sure he passes his physical, no??? 🤣
Fire up the garbage cans!
I bet Twins sent one of their top 3 prospects to Houston to get them to eat more salary. Calling it. Jenkins, Erod, or someone else.
Nope, nothing of the sort.
Until he fails the physical.
Correa has a nice set of cans.
Deal is on hold as Daikin Ballpark trash cans file a restraining order on Correa
Sad. Astros really are clueless
Chitbag Alert!!
I can’t wait to see how bad the Twins got fleeced on this one!
They didn’t get fleeced they did well in this trade.
Overall a pretty meh tradedeadline
Oh boy, here we go…
Smart to deal him. The guy wasn’t worth even half the money they paid him!
Maybe half but not worth anywhere near what he is getting
Cora keeps checking his voicemails.
AJ has blocked any calls incoming from Texas.
What position is he gonna play in Houston?
Third, do you read the article
What a garbage deal
No. lol. It’s a good deal for the Twins to get out from under that horrible contract. Correa is NOT worth the money at all.
You missed the joke lol
law enforcement motto
“They always return to the scene of the crime.”
I love this for Houston. Granted, I like Correa more than many fans who post on here.
Hey man that’s cool. If you like Correa, please by all means. Twins fans loved him at first until they realized he’s injured all the time, and his offense has declined dramatically. He’s barely over 0.0 WAR now. He was meh in 2023 and good in 2024. But his offensive production has declined dramatically over the last three seasons and he’s now hitting into tons of double plays constantly and has been for two seasons now.
I don’t want to lose, I want to bang on the can all game.
A Rundgren reference at the deadline? You must be as old as I am!
If they balked at a 50/50 money split wonder how far off the final was? 60/40?
Twins paid 33 million. So basically one season of salary for Correa. Win for the Twins and I guess the STros if you really like Correa as a player. I think Astros fans are gonna be shocked by what they get back this time. He’s definitely not at all the player that left them a few years ago. He’s declined A LOT and he’s still go three years left on his deal.
Smells like a purely sentimental deal. Correa is a shell of the player he once was. Don’t see how he moves the needle for HOU.
BANG BANG!
I did not see this coming. Seriously. Figured it was just talk. I’ll actually miss Correa even though he hasn’t been great this year.
Really hope they don’t trade Ryan. That would be a huge mistake.
Minnesota is smart to get out of whatever of this deal they can.
Not if they effectively sold a top prospect to get out from the contract. Pohlads stewardship of this team has reached Gordon Gekko corporate raider levels.
They didn’t sell a top prospect. Not at all. Just a player swap and a cash advance of 33 million to the Stros. Minnesota came out of this ahead, way ahead.
And to think that this could be the Mets or Giants attempting to offload an even worse contract.
I like this deal as an Astros fan. Unless they gave up K Alvarez or Ullola. Lose lose for Correa. Either he gets the overpaid thing is he stinks. Or he gets the oh he’s “cheating” again if he starts back up again
It might not be a massive prospect cost since Minnesota probably just wants the money gone. They have plenty infield replacements. So I’d imagine a pitching prospect or two but the money will be what Minnesota is interested in.
I would like the trade than. Simply cuz I’m not the one paying the contract haha
Pending a medical?
All trades are pending a medical review
Correa must miss the video camera system and trash cans.
Astros acquired Sanchez from Miami took the Outfielder request off the table Probably helps get this done
The good people of Minnesota got that garbage burger off their fair grill.
Yep.
Even if he cheated (likely), Correa knows how to win without cheating (hopefully): he was integral to ending Twins playoff series victory drought
Twins win this trade if they don’t have to add any money
Newest update is the Astros are taking the majority of the money and a prospect is going to the Twins. No idea if that is all…
Twins send back 33 million. It’s still a win for the Twins. In fact it’s a massive win for the Twins. Correa is a shell of his former self. I’m pretty shocked the Astros want him back that badly. He’s been pretty bad with the Twins. His defense is still decent but not elite anymore, but his offensive production has been mostly terrible for 3 years. I totally get why the Twins did this.
Where does Paredes play next year? His swing his made for their ballpark
Wondered the same thing. No room on the left side, Yordan at DH. Morosi floated 2B, but Isaac seems way to large to play 2B post-shift.
1B if Walker doesn’t improve?
Who is going back
I know right! I keep refreshing this article looking for any prospect names lol
Same
As a Twins fan it does not matter. I’m just glad Correa is gone gone. The Twins send back 33 million of the remaining 100 million, but at least he will be off the books by mid next season. He was a massive albatross. Good defensively, but a terrible offensive player. He’s a shell of his former self when he was a Stro.
Loser in this deal is StL, as apparently Houston was one of the few considering taking Arenado off their hands
Correa was horrendous since he signed the new deal with the Twins. Honestly think the Astros are really dumb taking him back, but hey don’t look a gift horse in the mouth. I’m glad he’s gone from the Twins roster. He was a rally killing, momentum buster in the lineup. Absolutely terrible in early Spring and in the Fall for 3 years. Twins got lucky the Stros wanted him back even if they have to pay a significant portion of his remaining salary. He is signed through 2028 if I remember correctly. Good bye and good riddance!
GIDP the team to death
Yep 100%. Correa hit into double plays CONSTANTLY! It was maddening to watch.
Some players are born and bred to be on one team for (most of) their career.
He should’ve never left Houston- not that I have any respect for Correa or the Astros and not that I think he’s a *remotely* valuable player anymore…
That contract is working out basically exactly as I imagined it would. I hope his final years in Houston on that deal are utterly forgettable.
As an M’s fan, this was a lot more frightening before I saw he’s been replacement level so far this year.
But Houston had to do something with their injuries and what Texas and Seattle have done on the field and off it, respectively.
Que the Correa failed his physical jokes.
He failed his physical. Your welcome
Altuve was all alone gettting booed so they brought back a campanion to get booed at as well.
Kwan, I want you Gwone!
Welcome back!
Who’s left on the Twinkies? Man, seems like they’ve traded half their team away.
Traded more than a third of their major league roaster.
I counted last night and they were showing 17 players on the active roster, haha
This just in, the Astros trade for managers with Detroit and Boston to bring back Cora and Hinch!
The deal makes sense by Houston… sorta. They needed a 3B. He can play 3B.
But paying Correa $70 mill is crazy.
They could have kept Kyle Tucker for this year and either flipped him at the deadline, for more than they got in the actual deal. Or resign him (for more than they’ll owe Correa).
But the Correa contract is bad. I know it’s not apples to apples, but I would have rather had Tucker for this year than Correa for 3 years.
Nostalgia can cause the strongest people to think incorrectly.
So the traded him to get out from under his salary.
The Twins did. Yes.
and since he is no longer elite, he’s blocking young talent for 3 years. trading him and only being stuck with one of the three years worth of contract? best trade of the season for anyone
No idea why everyone is going nuts about this…. Correa has a 0.1 WAR in 2025… isn’t WAR all you guys care about anymore? lol
A+++++ salary dump
astros got their trash can banger in exchange for nobody A ball pitcher with 7 era AND twins agreed to pay 1/3 of remaining $
wow that might be the biggest fleece of the day
do GMs/owners know this is real life? not fantasy baseball?
Oof.. paying down $33 million and only getting that in return? The Twins must’ve really wanted to get rid of him. Full on rebuild mode from here it looks like.
The Twins ownership is broke. The Pohlads have big commercial realestate holdings and those have been doing poorly since Covid. They also sold a car company they owned but it had massive debt too and they pushed all of that onto the Twins, over 400 million. This scared off the first buy. They are purging the roster to clear cap room and recoup money before they sell. They did this in the 90’s and early 2000’s as well. The Pohlads love to be cheap, it’s in their DNA.
Break out the trash cans!
That’s some bullsh!t. Pay $33 million and take on some garbage prospect. This country is so fudged, giving these scumbags taxpayer dollars to get a stadium and the surrounding areas for development, then having them pull this.
Falvey and Baldelli next?
Yankees should have been all over this.
Correa had a full no trade clause and the only team he approved was Houston.
Lol. For a 0.1 WAR to play where? This was a sentimental trade by Crane.
Birds of a feather, am I right?
*BANG BANG
Medical review eh?
big effing cheater…
Great for Minnesota, Correa isn’t any good anymore
