Leave it to Bob Nightengale to correct his own reporting, and in doing so, shed a very different light on the Houston Astros' decision to bring back Carlos Correa. Nightengale originally reported that as part of the Astros' talks with the Minnesota Twins, they suggested the idea of Christian Walker being involved in the deal. Walker's contract would have made an easier match with Correa's deal being involved, and cleared first base for plans beyond this season.
As it turns out, Nightengale corrected that it was the Twins who approached the Astros about including Walker in the deal, and Houston turned it down.
