Twins Weigh Trade Options for Carlos Correa

The Minnesota Twins are receiving inquiries about star shortstop Carlos Correa, but President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey has stated that they would require a significant offer to consider a trade. Despite facing payroll constraints, projected at $142 million against a $130 million budget for 2025, the team is not actively looking to offload Correa, who has a full no-trade clause. Correa, who has struggled with injuries, was an All-Star last season, showcasing his potential when healthy, but his performance has been inconsistent due to plantar fasciitis. Falvey emphasized the importance of Correa as a leader and key contributor to the team, indicating a focus on winning rather than selling off key assets. While trade discussions have not progressed beyond preliminary talks, the Twins are exploring other ways to relieve payroll without sacrificing their star player. The team is committed to strengthening the roster and remains open to creative solutions as they navigate their financial situation.
