Minnesota Twins trade Carlos Correa, make other moves: Everything you need to know

Twins deal 10 players ahead of MLB trade deadline

The Minnesota Twins dealt 10 players from their active roster ahead of Thursday?s trade deadline for Major League Baseball. That includes Carlos Correa, who is headed to the Houston Astros. FOX 9?s Pierre Noujaim has the latest.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Carlos Correa’s time with the Minnesota Twins is over after 450 games.

The Twins announced Thursday they are trading the shortstop back to the Houston Astros, where he spent his first seven seasons. It’s one of a series of moves as the Twins are six games out of an American League Wild Card Playoff spot with 54 regular season games to play, ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline in Major League Baseball.

As part of the trade agreement, Correa will play third base for the Astros, who have a five-game lead in the AL West. Correa played 93 games for the Twins this season, hitting .267 with seven homers and 31 RBI.

Correa had a no-trade clause in his contract, but waived it to allow the move to happen. He was in the third year of a six-year, $200 million contract with the Twins after offers from the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants fell through due to concerns over his ankle.
