Astros, Twins Far Apart on Correa Trade Talks

The Houston Astros are considering a trade for Carlos Correa from the Minnesota Twins to fill the gap left by injured third baseman Isaac Paredes before the MLB trade deadline. Correa, under a long-term contract with a no-trade clause, is reportedly willing to waive it and even shift to third base for a return to Houston, where his family still resides. Although there is mutual interest, negotiations between the Astros and Twins are reportedly stalled due to financial and roster obstacles. Correa has publicly minimized the seriousness of the trade rumors, emphasizing his focus on winning in Minnesota. The Astros are also evaluating other infield options, but Correa's championship history with Houston makes him a standout target. The outcome remains uncertain as the deadline approaches.
