The Minnesota Twins stunned their fanbase and the baseball world when they shipped Carlos Correa back to the Houston Astros ahead of the 2025 trade deadline. It was the final signal that the club is rebuilding its core.

Correa has registered three hits in 12 at-bats since his return to Houston. He hit his first home run for the Astros during Houston's 6-1 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. The Astros were swept at Fenway Park. Correa is expected to be their everyday third basemen, but he's also played some shortstop because of an injury to Jeremy Peña.

Carlos Correa is returning to Houston. The Astros reacquired the three-time All-Star shortstop from the Minnesota Twins just before Thursday’s trade deadline.
