The MLB trade deadline saw the Minnesota Twins trade Carlos Correa to the Houston Astros, but trade talks did not start out well.

Correa signed a six-year, $200 million contract with the Minnesota Twins before the 2023 season began. He was part of the Twins' first playoff series win in 21 years, and an obvious leader in the clubhouse. But with the team in fire sale mode, it suddenly made sense for him to return to his old stomping ground.

An injury to Isaac Paredes has the Houston Astros scrambling to find a potential replacement at third base prior to the trade deadline.
