“Carlos Correa is returning to the Astros in a blockbuster trade with the Twins, a source told MLB.com's Brian McTaggart on Thursday. The clubs have not confirmed the deal.

Correa -- who will play third base for Houston, per a source -- had to waive a no-trade clause in order to be dealt, but for the opportunity to go home, he was willing to do so. He was a World Series champion, a Gold Glover and the 2015 American League Rookie of the Year with the Astros.” - Read more
