The Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins have agreed to a trade sending shortstop Carlos Correa back to the Astros, the teams announced. There were rumblings the Astros were exploring a Correa reunion earlier this week,

June 4 — Correa, 17, is selected first overall in the MLB draft, the first draft pick of the new Astros regime of owner Jim Crane and general manager Jeff Luhnow. He also becomes the highest-drafted player from Puerto Rico, surpassing Ramon Castro, whom the Astros picked 17th overall in 1994.

Crane has long remained a fan of Correa, to whom he offered a five-year, $160 million contract after the 2021 season. After Correa rejected it and signed with the Twins, Crane took the rare step of issuing a statement thanking Correa and his wife Daniella for their contributions to the city and franchise.
